Yangon’s Ring Train
Yangon’s “circle line” or “ring train”, circumnavigates Myanmar’s largest city, on a 46 Kilometer, 39 station route that connects Yangon’s satellite towns. The system is heavily utilized by the local populace, selling about 150,000 tickets daily, providing cheap transportation for Burmese and an interesting and engaging cultural immersion for the few intrepid adventurers who hop […]
Bhutan Scouting Trip 2
Bhutan scouting trip continued: Bhutan is truly a fascinating and photogenic place, but finding an internet connection with sufficient capacity to upload images to the blog has been a bit of a challenge, especially after leaving the capital city of Thimphu.

Bhutan Scouting Trip: Day One, 33 Images To Share
Just finished the first day of the Bhutan scouting trip, got some dinner, then started downloading and editing the day’s work.

Typically, I would be blogging about the ongoing workshop but I […]
Philippines Photo Tour: Street Shooting, Manila
Of all the cities in Southeast Asia, Manila has, what I consider, the best street shooting opportunities. Since coming to the Philippines 7 years ago to shoot for my NGO clients, I have enjoyed exploring Manila and the other cities, each with unique, interesting and diverse photographic opportunities. Of course, not all areas in any […]
Philippines Photo Tour: Sagada, Hanging Coffins & Rice Terraces
Today we took the long scenic drive along the amazing, photogenic road through a Philippine National Park to Sagada. Sagada is a small town nestled in the middle of a valley at the upper end of Malitep tributary of the Chico river about 1,500 meters above sea level. Its lofty little town, dirt-free air, with […]
Philippines Photo Tour: Vigan, Ilocos Sur
The UNESCO World Heritage city of Vigan, Ilocos Sur, offers a glimpse of the Philippines’ colonial past. This is evident in the mixture of European and Asian architecture of the ancestral houses, churches and other structures that are well-preserved around the city. We travel here via a flight to Laoag, then a 2 hour bus […]
Postcard From The Philippines: Bohol’s Chocolate Hills
OK, I just can’t help myself. Even though it’s out of sequence (because I still need to blog about earlier shoots in the trip), I’ve just got to share this one photo with you. I know no other place like the Philippines where you can feel like a child again. Filipinos love to be playful […]
