India Photo Tour: Jaipur To Agra & Taj Mahal
After the Pushkar Fair, our tour group headed to Jaipur, “the pink city”, and then to Agra to view and photograph the iconic Taj Mahal. We made two trips to photograph the Taj, one at sunset, at the back side, across the river. For several years now the “back side of the Taj” has been […]
India Photo Tour: Pushkar Camel Fair
I always have to laugh when I read blogposts by photographers who say that Pushkar Fair isn’t worth shooting any more. That’s like saying Mardi Gras or Carnival isn’t worth shooting because there are too many tourists. Nothing could be further from the truth. The Pushkar Fair, like Marti Gras or Carnival, is as much […]
India Photo Tour: Villages En Route To Pushkar
After leaving Jaisalmer we traveled through the Thar desert , over-nighting in several different locations, utilizing open jeeps for transport to local villages in order to view and photograph authentic, rural Rajashatan life. We visited Brahmin, Rajput, Bishnoi and “untouchable” villages, where centuries old traditions still remain. My favorite stop is always the untouchable’s village, […]

Mandaue City Philippines: In Search of the Next “Manny Pacquiao”
In the Philippines, boxing has become somewhat of a national sport. As common as sweet mangoes, the spicy local Bicol Express and as ubiquitous as the Philippine Jeepney, boxing plays an integral part in Philippine culture and pride. All of this, thanks mostly to a small guy from General Santos City named Manny Pacquiao. Manny […]
Bhutan Photo Tour: Bumthang to Punhaka to Paro
We spent the morning on an excursion to Chimi Lhakhang which is situated on a hillock in the centre of the valley, and is dedicated to Lama Drukpa Kuenley, who in the late 15th century used humour, songs and outrageous behaviour to dramatize his teachings and due to this also known as ‘Divine Madman’. This […]
