Welcome to the new and improved blog of the Digital Trekker.
Welcome to my new blog! ((I got really sick of Blogger. So I “upgraded” to WordPress.org)) Personally, I am thrilled at the new look and the ease of use and all the new features that have been added. I have spent the last few days working on the development of this site and the migration [...]
ThinkTank’s
Modular
Belt System
By Matt Brandon Photos of Matt by Keith Talley I have gone through many camera bags. I have used and abused several Lowepro bags and a ThinkTank Photo bag or two. I have finally come to the conclusion there is no one perfect bag. You don’t know how hard that is to say. It has [...]
Packing List Revised for iPhone
David Duchemin just posted his packing list for the Lumen Dei workshop and his time in Nepal. The pdf file is HERE. I took his list and went one step further. I transferred his list over to Lists.Zenbe.com. Zenbe is a online list that syncs with your iPod Touch or iPhone through the Zenbe List [...]
Mpix & NAPP
Let me tell you about a membership that is actually worth paying for. Quite frankly, many of the photo societies are, as far as I am concerned, a waste of money. If you’re like me, you don’t have a surplus of cash to go around and yet you want to learn about photography, sharpen your [...]
Happy birthday to me.
Photos by David duChemim Today is my birthday. I am 50 ~~ a half a century old. HOLY COW!! I don’t feel fifty. I don’t feel twenty-five either, but I certainly don’t feel fifty. I think I am growing old gracefully. . . at least I am not kicking and screaming. If truth be known, [...]

World Domination
I don’t usually write about something other than photography or travel or things related to them. But, this is somewhat personal as I lived in India for over 13 years. Tata Motor company has introduced a new car that almost anyone can afford. It is the One Laptop for Every Child of the automotive industry. [...]
Seat Guru
I have been working on my flight to Indonesia in February 08. I wasn’t sure about a seat that I saw on my seating choice chart, so I call the United reservation’s staff and a kind lady there suggested I check out a website called SeatGuru.com. Maybe you already know aboutthis site. It told me everything I [...]
Chase Jarvis
Chase Jarvis is one of the top fashion/lifestyle photographer in the US and a guy that cares about the rest of us. Sounds weird, huh? Well, the guy tells all. He is always producing these videos that reveal his “secrets”, so to speak. He shares his knowledge with the rest of us. I really appreciate [...]
Tired Out!
I got a notice in my post box that I had a package to be picked up. It was 1 o’clock, Srinagar, Kashmir on a Friday; that means prayer time and you can forget about getting the package. So, maybe Saturday. Saturday came and went as it was a general strike, aka a hartal. This [...]
New Book Being Published
It looks like there will be a book of my images being published. The publishers, Bhari and Sons of New Delhi, said that it would go to press on the 3rd week of April. I think it might be later, say mid May. To call it “my book” might be a stretch. The publisher wanted [...]
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.
