I took a walk through the old walled city of Chiang Mai, Thailand this morning just after sunrise. The place is littered with temples but many are tucked away — out of view from the street. Walking was the perfect way to stumble across these jewels. The shot above is of Wat Tung Yu.

I’m in Bangkok, Thailand, tonight with my first solid internet connection so I thought I’d share a shot from Dubai taken this morning. It’s the Burj Khalifa (formerly the Burj Dubai) — the tallest building in the world. Note to my mother: the observation deck is still closed so, no, I didn’t get to go [...]

Sorry. Bad pun. I’m posting a couple of photos from Chile today since there’s been so much in the news since the earthquake last week. The shot above is from Valparaiso, on the coast west of Santiago. It and the following shot are from a trip I took to Chile a couple of years ago. [...]

Winding up my review of the the past decade…
My first trip of 2009 was to Egypt — a few days in Cairo, a flight to Abu Simbel and then a Nile cruise from Aswan to Luxor. Egypt is one of those places I had wanted to go to since childhood. I was a kid when [...]

More adventures in Canada in early 2008. This time it was a winter trip to Banff and Jasper in the Canadian Rockies. I had visited this area briefly in 2000 on my way to Vancouver. It had been in the spring of that year and a completely different [...]

In addition to a plethora of US trips, 2007 had me returning to Canada once again. Canada has always been a favorite destination of mine. The weather suits me, the people are great, and the country offers such a wide variety of locations to photograph.
I had whet my [...]

I attended my first SATW Annual Convention in 2004 in St. Moritz, Switzerland. It was an absolutely amazing trip. A highlight during the convention was a sunrise shoot from the peak of Mt. Pers in the Bernina Alps. A small group of us took the cable car up [...]

2003 marked the year that I moved solidly to digital. I still had my F100 and shot film on assignment for publications that hadn’t themselves transitioned to digital yet, but for my stock work — and especially international travel — I was 100% digital.
The images in this [...]

2001 slipped past me with no international travel. I’d had another Canadian trip in late 2000 and would go to the Yucatan peninsula in Mexico in early 2002, but the 12 month period that was 2001 was all US travel. The shots on this page came from a [...]

Ever since moving back to Lawrence, I’ve been meaning to take some photos of this sculpture on the KU campus. It’s a structure built of woven branches that surrounds a tree so that the living branches grow through its walls (I’ll have to get the name of it and the artist after the big pile [...]
