Images from Bangkok.
Here are a few images from the Saturdays shoot. You can find a gallery HERE. David, Gavin and I just walked some of Gavin’s haunts. I found the weekend full of beautiful faces and fascinating culture. My goal was to get away from shooting the classic portrait and to include more context in the image. [...]
The Bangkok Meeting
David, Gavin and I spend the whole day walking the back alleyways of several markets in downtown Bangkok today. We ran across this lovely lady while at the Grand Palace. She was walking around all dressed up and with her parasol as if wanting to be photographed. David said in passing, “Boy, wouldn’t it be [...]
Out of the box thinking.
I leave tomorrow for Bangkok for three days. I will be hanging a little bit with David DuChemin, Gavin Gough and Jerry Jeffery ((Sorry for the typo Jeffery)) Chapman. David calls this meeting historic, I call it a bunch of clowns getting together to smoke fine Cubans and lie about how slow we can hand [...]
A Doting Father
I am supposed to be some fancy smancy pro travel photographer and keep this blog professional looking. I hope I have, but not at the cost of being able to show off my family pictures. One of the benefits of being a photographer and a dad is you get built in models. Now, you know [...]
Angkor Wat Gallery Posted
Actually it is a Cambodia gallery and it is posted HERE. Very little images spoke uniquely of Angkor Wat so I titled the gallery Cambodia. I will admit, with so many folks writing how they were excited to see 5D images of Angkor Wat, I am more than a little nervous. Remember, I photograph people, [...]
Coming Home the Long Way.
I actually left Cambodia early. I have been in Malaysia a day already. Some close friends of ours are dealing with a personal crisis and needed us in KL. So I will be away from the blog a bit more. But I can tell you Angkor Wat was all that I expected, good and bad. One side [...]
ISO 3200
I leave today to fly to KL. Then tomorrow to Siam Reap and Angkor Wat. So no post this week, unless I find a WiFi connection somewhere. I will be giving the 5D a real shake down there as well a the new Think Tank Shape Shifter (I told you I had some more goodies [...]
Day 2 More Images with the MKII.
Ok, I am not going to make this an every day event, but I did go out and shoot more today and I thought I would post these. I have a friend and client here with me this week and so the blog entries will be a little sparse, except for some images from time [...]
First Images with the Canon 5D MK II
I received my toys yesterday after waiting for many weeks. They were hand delivered to me here in Malaysia. I can tell you right now, I love the 5D MK II. After the first day of shooting I feel like the exposures with the MK II are more accurate and the general feel is just…well, [...]
There Heeere!
OK, it is here. The MK II looks beautiful and the lens is sweet! I also received a few more goodies that I will be reviewing in the days to come. Now, leave me be and go find something to do while Daddy plays with my shiny new toys…oh, and visit with his guest.
New Sponsor: BlackRapid
A great big welcome to BlackRapid. The makers of the most simple yet innovative camera strap to come down the proverbial pike in a while. As soon as I get my mitts on the new RS-3 I will do a short review on it. Plus, we might just be giving one or two of these [...]
Anticipation
Why do Americans insist on using the 12 hour clock? The person visiting me and hand carrying my MKII told me he was arriving into Penang at 6:40. I made the assumption that meant AM. My bad. I double checked his arrival time with Cathay Pacific and it seems he arrives at 18:40. So the [...]
January Wallpaper
Better late than never, I always say. Maybe becasue I am often late. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this image. I shot it early one morning during a trekking trip in the Indian Himalaya, at a small lake names Vishansar. I had gotten up early with my wife and daughter to go trout fishing and [...]
The Ethic of Reciprocity or Back to Sunday School.
There is a rather lengthy and lively debate going on over at David DuChemin’s blog on “Bruce Gilden – Artist or Thug?” Gilden, as you will see if you view the video linked HERE, uses a very intrusive style of photographing people. His style and his images are almost a polar opposite of mine. He [...]
More of Grandma's images
So the server issue is fixed… well, sort of. I had my host move my site to Hong Kong and the connection there seems to be fine. Once it is truly fixed I might move it back to the US. Until then, here are some more images to chew on…metaphorically. I really love this old [...]
Site Issues -Please bear with me.
I have been trying to post for hours. it has been like this for days. Yesterday’s post took me two hours just to post. It is taking me 5 to 10 minutes just to load WordPress. I contacted my site host and they did some checking. Here is what they found: Hello, The Savvis investigation [...]
I shoot for mostly NGOs and nonprofits. I photograph images of the unknown, the forgotten and the helpless. These are often the stories that most people overlook.
