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. So, I’ll just post these 20 new images and I’ll try to blog again […]
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. I really wasn’t planning on posting anything today, but since I can’t seem to sleep yet, I thought I might as well post a few images. They are all from Thimphu, Bhutan’s capital city. […]
Angkor Photo Workshop: Participant’s Multimedia Slideshow
First of all, my apologies for running behind schedule. I’ve received several emails from people requesting a blog post from this year’s Angkor Photo Workshop. Although the workshop is now finished, I’m just now getting a chance to blog about it. So, with my first bit of free-time in what seems like a long time, […]
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 […]
Philippines Photo Tour: Manila Street Shooting
On the afternoon of our second day in Manila, we always take our Jeepney to one of my favorite parts of town, where there’s a community of people living under an overpass. It’s an area which was introduced to me by fellow photojournalist Red Santos, who I had the good fortune of meeting a few […]
Philippines Photo Tour Day Two: You Gotta’ Pimp Your Ride
There is no other transportation in the Philippines as ubiquitous as the Philippine jeepney. A hybrid of the American jeep, the Philippine jeepney came around the 1950’s to fill in the need for mass transport. From the basic grayish silver color to fully “pimped out” complete with stereo blaring and disco lights inside, the jeepney […]
