Nancy chose Chandni Chowk for this morning’s shoot. Chandni Chowk is one of Delhi’s busiest and oldest marketplaces. Located within the walled city […]

Myanmar Photo Tour Sept 2013: Post #5 Mandalay to Bagan
From Mandalay we traveled to Bagan, a 30 square-mile plain, part-covered in palm trees and tamarind with the mighty Irrawaddy river slicing through it; framed by distant mountains. Rising from the plain are more than 2000 temples that were built by the kings of Bagan between 1057 and 1287. In addition to the opportunity to […]

Mandalay was established by the highly admired King named Mindon, for his new capital and the focal point for Buddhist teachings, in 1857AD to fulfill an ancient Buddhist prophecy.

Buddhism in Burma (Myanmar) is predominantly of the Theravada tradition, practiced by 89% of the country’s population.

Philippines Photo Tour 2013: Wrapping Things Up
It’s been over two weeks since I left the Philippines and I still have some nagging, unanswered questions…. can someone please explain to me how it is that just about everywhere, San Miguels are served at the exact temperature at which ice forms in the neck of the bottle after you take the first sip?

Thoughts On Being An Innovator
Do you remember your first girlfriend/boyfriend, your first car, motorcycle or camera? I’m guessing you do. Now try to remember your second, third or fourth? Hmmm….not so easy, eh? Now, think about all the brands that have become synonymous with their function: Scotch tape, Kleenex, Xerox. It’s no accident they were also the first. When […]
Vietnam Photo Tour: Hoi An To Hanoi
Reaching the mid point of the Vietnam photo tour, we continued our journey, leaving Hoi An to fly north to explore Vietnam’s bustling capitol, Hanoi and then further afield to beautiful, Halong Bay.

Vietnam Photo Tour: Hoi An In Sepia Tone
Well what the hell, it’s April Fools’ Day, what better time to post something out of the ordinary. Having read some recent blog posts about the need to experiment and push the bounds of one’s typical style, I was inspired to post some images that are a departure from my “normal” type of photography. So […]
From The Cutting Room Floor
Sorting through and editing images while traveling, in order to create blog posts, is a fast, furious and often “messy” process, given the fact that there’s such limited time to work with. From my days working as a stringer for newspapers in Southern California, I’ve learned to be somewhat “brutal” in my selection of photos […]
