Culture Stress: Can’t Win for Losing
The interview I had planned for today would be better as a Depth of Field podcast. So, left with a blank piece of paper, or screen as the case may be, I found myself musing about last week’s guest post from author Shiloh Lane. She ruffled a lot of feathers and, quite frankly, I was [...]
Halabja
I have made it back home. Back to my wife and my child and my bed. I am going to take a few days to try to reconnect and get my health better. I had rough case of bronchitis the whole time I was gone. Physically this was one of the hardest I have ever [...]
Update: Kirkuk
The Old Ottoman city of Kirkuk.
Quick update. Yesterday I drove with Millennium Relief and Development Services (MRDS) to Kirkuk here in Iraq. I had not talked about it by name before for security reasons. The city is still tense and has US Army security forces though out the city. On my way out of [...]
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. [...]
Multimedia: The Cheese Man of Kashmir
I have been quiet lately for several reasons. First, in the most responsible for my lack of communication is I have been working frantically at redesigning a whole new blog site. A brand-new theme that will eventually integrate with Photo Shelter. At this point, there still a few bugs, but I hope to be [...]
A Brief Visit
It’s Thursday afternoon and I just put Gavin Gough in a taxi to the airport. My wife and I had a great time hanging out with Gavin as he breezed through town for a quick visit. We took him out for local food and after chiding each other for not posting on our blogs for [...]
2010 Calendar on sale!
Time to start looking for that next calendar. If you are like my family, we can never find the right calendar. It needs to be large, but not too large, and have plenty of space to write on the dates. Don’t you hate those calendars that are just numbers? How can you write things to [...]
I have been Shanghaied!
I am sitting in Shanghai International Airport wondering why I got routed this way. I got in at 7am and had to go through customs and immigration just to transfer, had I had bags I would have had to collect them and recheck in. As it was, I sat in front of an empty United [...]
Repetition
Repetition. Doing something over and over. Muslims will often repeat the 99 names of God over and over again. Not sure why. But it has something to do with blessing or “barkat.” Yesterday I returned with the group to Nizamuddin for the second time in this trip and my umpteenth time. Today we return yet [...]
Greetings from Delhi.
This is going to be a quick post as I am exhausted and heading to bed. I got in yesterday night early after I learned in Singapore that there was earlier flight to Delhi that I some how mess when I was booking my ticket. So with very little trouble I was able to change [...]
Travel Plans
It is 4:10 Am. I could not sleep. It’s been that way for much of this month. Maybe I have a lot on my mind with Lumen Dei starting in just a few days, and looking at what amounts to almost a month of travel before me. I really don’t like being gone from my [...]
Depth of Field: Nevada Wier Pt2
Yesterday we had a great response to part one of the Nevada Wier interview. Today you the conclusion with part two. In this interview Nevada and I talk about her choice of lenses and as well other aspects of what it takes to get the great shot. Enjoy.
Nevada Wier interview Pt2
Be sure and check out [...]
Depth of Field: Nevada Wier Pt1
This week I had the delightful experience to interview Nevada Wier. Nevada is one of the best travel/world photographers shooting today. She not only has an eye for the story but she pushes the boundaries of conventional photojournalism as well. In these interviews she explained to me how she gets joy and fulfillment from experimenting [...]
September’s Wallpaper
Septembers wallpaper is yours for the download. I hope you enjoy it. I shot both of these while in Chiange Mai Thailand this last month. I am being extra generous to you this month as a way to celebrate my new 13″ MacBook Pro and my Apple Cinema Display. So, one wallpaper for each monitor. [...]
Up To Speed.
I am on my way home. At this moment I am sitting at the Cafe Ritazza in terminal E at Suvarnabhumi International Airport. Nice to have full speed internet again. A hardy thanks goes out to Gavin for getting me to the right gate for free WiFi.
I promised I would post images from the [...]
Chiang Mai Details
I am at a convention with some smaller sized NGOs and find myself in meetings most of the week, fun! Meetings, I love them. Yeah, and if you believe that, I got this really pretty bridge in Brooklyn to sell ya. On the upside, I am learning what “the client” wants and that of course [...]
My Angkor
Greetings from Chiang Mai, Thailand. I want to post this even though it is later, almost midnight here. I may not have another chance this week. Here are a few shots from what I call my own private Angkor Wat. I hope you enjoy them.
The Bangla Sahib Bungalo Slide Show
It has been a month coming but here is one of the two multi-media slide shows I promised readers. It is a series of images and audio recorded on location at the New Delhi, Bangla Sahib Gurudwara or Sikh Temple. The place is amazing and like all Sikh Gurudwaras they feed the less fortunate daily. [...]
A Travel Tip By Daniel Pink
Pink’s Travel Tips — Tip #1 from DHP on Vimeo.
In preparation for my time in the US I ran across a book called A Whole New Mind: Why Right-Brainers Will Rule the Future, by Daniel Pink. I haven’t read it yet but hope to have it and another book called Made to Stick: Why Some [...]
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.
