Ya gotta love light!
(Click on the image to view it larger) Today I am siting in a flat here in Iraq recovering. I have had a little time to review some of my images. I am always amazed how something can look so different from one day to the next. Of course we all know why, it’s not [...]
February Wallpaper
So my gift to you is not one but two complete sets of wallpaper for most any size screen as well as for your iPhone or iPod Touch.
Istanbul: Day two
The Ottoman architecture and art is reminiscence for Mogul architecture and art for me.
The Blue Mosque & The Ayasofya
It started snowing as our plain touched down at 8 am here in Istanbul. It has not stopped. In fact it has intensified. I had planned on going out and doing some site seeing, but with the lack of sleep and the blowing snow I only made it across the street to the The Sultan [...]
Adu Dhabi Do
I am now sitting in the Abu Dhabi airport and I gotta tell you I am unimpressed with the place. For such a fancy airport it seems poorly staffed and even more poorly marked with signage. The only transfer desk I saw was flooded with people trying to make new connections after a late flight. [...]
Your chance at a start in humanitarian photography
Here is your chance to get your feet wet in the muddy but exciting waters of humanitarian photography. A very cool photographic website called Photocrati (you will want to bookmark this site!) has created a funding organization called The Photocrati Fund and has announced a $5,000 grant to non-professional photographers that want to break into [...]
Depth of Field: Karl Grobl
Karl Grobl is an amazing man. He travels more than he stays at home. He shoot compelling images with his vast selection of lenses, a 18-35 f2.8 and a 70-200 f2.8. That’s it, that is his whole kit. He shoots because there are compassionate stories that need to be told and NGOs that need his [...]
Iraq: Gear Preview
I am taking a few pieces of new gear with me to Iraq when I leave this Friday. Some of it was provided by partners in the work and some by my hard earned bucks. The first out of the doc is a new pair of light weight hiking boots provided by Keen Footwear. Keen [...]
The Multimedia Photo Essay: Photos and More
In preparation for teaching some NGOs in Iraq how to tell their stories through multimedia photo essays, I’ve been visiting many incredible sites that are the home to some amazing photo essays. I want to link them for you in this post. If you are a photographer and interested in creating something similar to these; [...]
January’s Wallpaper
You know what they say, “Better late than never.” I am trying to get caught up on my posting and will probably jet caught up just in time to leave for Iraq on the 25th. Here is January’s Wallpaper for 2010. This is the way I took it. I did not add any effects or [...]
Depth of Field: Zack Arias
This interview is posting later the the Digital Trekker. Most of you hard core Depth of Field freaks have already listened to it on either Peachpit TV or iTunes. I was on the road in Texas and did not have an opportunity to post it. Only now, afgter arriving back to Penang have I the [...]
Lumen Dei Tibet: The Heart of Kham
Today I am excited to announce a new Lumen Dei workshop lead by yours truly. It’s the trip dreams are made of: Tibet! How cool is that! This summer, June 18- 29th, I will be leading a tour/workshop that focuses on the Tibetan people of Kham. Kahm is the southeastern portion of the Tibetan Plateau [...]
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.
