this is one of the biggest things that I have learned about photography. As much as I want to be able to, this can never be achieved. And when I use this bit of advice as a frame of reference when I take my camera out on the road, I realize that the images I [...]

In 2 minutes, we will officially have been awake for 24 hours. (Actually I will have been awake for that long. Because as I type, Brad is snoring…)
also in 2 minutes we were hoping that we would be an hour and 15 minutes into our flight back to Amsterdam. So that we could connect with our flight to Manila.
Yeah, not so much.
It all started [...]

Made it down to Luxor after a whirlwind day viewing the pyramids on horseback and camel (Yes I rode a camel!) and the Infamous Egyptian Museum. We took the overnight train to Luxor and there is something mystifying about a full moon over egypt. All of this is de-mystified and almost entirely forgtten about when [...]

made it as planned (still can’t believe we’re on the African continent!). spent the entire first day at khan al khalili market. touted as being a market that has been running continuously since the 14th century. totally rich. so much stimulation.
our pace here is a bit hectic, so I will post as time/connection permits. right [...]

Made it to Amsterdam, Brad and I are having a beer and sandwich and looking forward to the adventures ahead. many simple visual goodies around, and the camera is already clicking away. 1 flight leg down 5 legs to go.

Happy Travels…

it’s live. it’s running. it’ll hopefully be what I use to share some of my photos from the upcoming adventure. that is if the internet connections allow me to. but for now some previously taken photos (and please bear with me as I continue to make adjustments, it’s a whole new learning curve…). And of [...]

Tons to do this week. and with every step further into it, the work, meetings, and projects with deadlines keep creeping up to remind me that I’ve got another thing to do before heading out on the road. (Saturday)
There are moments where all of it can become overwhelming and it gives me the itch [...]

When the view at dawn from the Seattle to Orlando red-eye looks like this:

you begin to think that you’re probably in store for a fun weekend.
And when you are hanging out with:

You get the chance to meet people like:

and hangout at places like:

But this is [...]

it’s well past 1am, and I’ve been thinking about how long its been since I’ve posted some philosophical mumbo. But forcing myself to do something I’m not in the frame of mind for has never produced anything good, so I just usually tend to flow with my own rhythm of things.
But tonight as I was [...]
