The World We Share
In the past few days I’ve stepped into a world that isn’t my own. A privileged visitor in the South African bush regarded with, at most, mild curiosity by the inhabitants. We’ve watched the rains come and a slow burgeoning green begin to take hold bit by bit. Everything seems rugged and unforgiving, but the…

Not exactly ATW…
This year I’m, yet again, ever so lucky to be on a perspective altering incredible journey. We aren’t hitting quite so many continents this time around, instead the main focus is a month in South Africa. I’ll be posting photos on my abode account and doing my best to link out from my website. Check…

Around the World 2.0 – New Orleans and iPad Photo Workflow
We’ve started another three month journey and I’m excited to test a new photo workflow that will hopefully mean more updates as we travel. I’m shooting JPG images on my Leica Q and editing via iPad… so color management is going out the window and I’m focusing on speed. Here’s the first set, from our…

Upper Missouri River – Montana Canoe Trip
I spent a magnificent 7 days in the wilderness of Montana canoeing and camping, completely off the grid. Photos and excerpts from the journal I kept below. Day 1 A hike into a slot canyon, chalk white and pocked by concretions fallen to the earth. The landscape alien. Rolling rock formations angles edited by time…

Further Away… (Chand Baori Stepwell in Abhaneri, India and Fatehpur Sikri)
Chand Baori is an anceint stepwell, descending deep into the earth via an intricate array of beautiful stairways. They form an optical illusion worthy of MC Escher. We stopped here quickly one afternoon between Jaipur and Agra to admire the astonishing architecture. The frenetic energy of tourist spots in India is immediately overwhelming. People are…

Agra, India – Travel Photos
In the early morning, India breathes heavy. Tradition ripples across vibrant, sparkling saris of women carrying morning wares as the city rises. We drive on. The contrast begins to swell between vast swaths of peace and pasture, chaos and clamor. The farmland blurs past, yellow pointillism on a bed of green. Blue shrines peak through and eagles soar…

Words for Tomorrow
The airport won’t let me upload photos today. So inspired by my Dad, who’s a really wonderful person and encourages me to do things I love without fear, here are some words I wrote the day I left Denver… In the rearview cranes lording over shells. Flanked by exoskeletons and bordered, at great distance,…

Delhi, India – Travel Photography
Our sprint through India’s”Golden Triangle” began in Delhi. In just over a week we saw many of the most striking historic sites, driving about 1,000km to see Jaipur and Agra then back to Delhi. Below you’ll see bits of Delhi including the beautiful mosque Jama Masjid; Humayun’s Tomb-the model of sorts for Taj Mahal; Chandni Chowk, the…

Hong Kong is Weird
I really like Hong Kong, but it’s just so massive. So hulking. So tall. So crowded. So unlike most places I’ve been in the world. And then, outside the city, there are these tranquil and beautiful rolling hills, seasides, and gorgeous views. But all of a sudden, giant towers spurt from the green in clumps…
