Welcome to Thailand – Bangkok Cooking Class and Travel Photography
Because he is awesome and knows that I love food tourism, Kevin booked us a cooking class our first day in Bangkok. We visited a market and then created beautiful dishes of Pad See Ew, Lemongrass Chicken Salad, Curry, and Mango Sticky Rice. I’m now obsessed with Mango sticky rice and can’t wait to make fresh…

Xi’an China – Terra Cotta Warriors Travel Photos
China is so full of incredible wonders, you kind of wonder when it will stop being wonderful. Didn’t happen in my experience.

Luoyang Longmen Grottoes, China Travel Photography
Before our visit, I had no idea this place existed. It might be the most magical stop on our trip thus far. Not just because a precocious child tailgated me the entire visit, cornering me at a hilltop temple to give me a gift of two face-sized yellow leaves and a tiny red Buddha. But…

Doorways & Clichés – Italy Travel Photography (Part 2)
Recently we established that I went to Italy, where I had some success with street photography. Another thing you find walking around Italian streets are doors. Miraculous, tiny, odd, varied, and beautiful doors. So I ended up photographing a lot of doors, doorways, alleys, entries, and things near them. Today they make up part 2…

Roman Streets – Italy Travel Photography (Part 1)
I always wanted to be good at street photography, but in college the limitations of my own fear and costly 35mm film kept me from really embracing it. Then somewhere around 2004 when I got my first digital SLR with no limitations of film I discovered it was more my fear than cost holding me back.…
