Jodhpur, also known as the “blue city” is an amazing place for photography, and perhaps, my favorite city in India. With a bit of under-exposure and the correct white balance (for us jpeg shooters), the blue really “pops”! Our tour will spend two days here, exploring and photographing the back streets and alley-ways, dodging the [...]

India Photo Tour 2011: Day One, New Delhi
All 10 guests have arrived in New Delhi, the weather is pleasant and the city seems cleaner, crisper and more organized than I remember from last year. We spent our first full day exploring New Delhi, so I’ll share a few images from our excursion. I hope you’ll stay tuned to the blog in the [...]
Cambodia: The Other Side of the Tracks
We’ve all heard the expressions “you could have been born on the other side of the tracks” or “he or she is from the other side of the railroad tracks” and we know it to mean that the “other side” is not as nice or as privileged. Perhaps Cambodians have their own translation of this [...]
Postcard From Cambodia
I’m heading to New Delhi today, and I had originally thought that I would be able to post some images from my Angkor Hospital for Children NGO shoot here in Cambodia, but time seems to have gotten the better of me. So, for today, I’ll just post this typical Khmer smile. Enjoy.

A Great Finale to the Amazing Myanmar Tour – Nyaung Shwe
After two days on the lake we traveled to the lakeside town of Nyaung Shwe where we visited a monastery with large oval windows in front, which make the perfect frame for a novice monk or two. On our final night in Nyaung Shwe, we visited the monastery a second time and set up a shot with [...]
Last Stop of Myanmar Tour: Inle Lake and Nyaung Shwe
The final stop on our Myanmar photo tour is always Inle Lake. We spend two nights at a resort in the middle of Inle Lake and two more in the town of Nyaung Shwe. There are some amazing markets around the shores of Inle Lake where local hill tribe people come to buy and sell [...]
The Beauty of Mt. Popa and the Human Richness of Life in the Villages
We had overcast skies on the day we visited Mt. Popa. Luckily for us, just as we were leaving our usual lunch location – a stunning mountainside restaurant with an amazing view of Mt. Popa, the clouds and fog lifted enough to reveal the Temple atop Mt Popa. What a spectacular scene!!! Everyone got an amazing photograph! [...]
