People always make an impression on me. I visit a lot of places but it’s always the people that define that place for me. I’m too much of a people person to not be a portrait photographer at heart. Don’t get me wrong, but put Mount Everest infront of me and I’m going to be…

I was fortunate enough to spend the last three days in Repkong valley at the LaRu festival. You won’t find the LaRu festival listed much of anywhere. It’s not on wikipedia and a quick google search shows almost nothing. I’ve been told that it’s listed in Lonely Planet but I can’t find it really anywhere….
Our Kelby World Wide Photowalk this year was amazing. I was just about to post my pictures and say “Hey! We had a great time on our photo walk… here are some pictures!” …only because I’m tired and it’s 1:05am, but instead I’m going to breach another subject. Why? Well, this photo walk reminded me of…
I love looking back at a six month period and remembering what I’ve been doing as a photographer and where it has taken me. We always tend to be so busy on the current project or thinking about what we have to do next that we often times forget to look back and see where…
Todays Tech Tuesday is all about lighting. Let me start by saying that there are some travel photographers that won’t go near artificial lighting – I am not one of those. I’m not discriminating between those who use artificial light and those who don’t. I don’t really draw a strong distinction between the two, other…
I’m excited to announce that I will be leading a Kelby Worldwide Photowalk this summer. It should be an exciting time to be in Qing hai and an even better time to check out Kumbum monastery.

Part 2 – Downtown Penang + Batik Factory So after my meetings and shoot(s) in Hong Kong, I headed down to Penang for a bit of business and pleasure w/ our good ol’ Digital Trekker. I have to admit, I went to Penang not knowing much about it other than it’s really really hot there…
I spent the last 7 days hoping between meetings, countries, and shoots. Last Tuesday I had a meeting in Hong Kong to research possibilities for a future lighting/fashion/city-based workshop there with some awesome instructor(s). Was an amazing trip filled with good food, some new friends, and just a whole lot of doing what I love…
Something I’ve been meaning to do for a while now is spend some time at our local mosques. The area where we live is heavily influenced by Tibetan culture, Chinese culture, and also Islamic culture. It’s actually pretty amazing to watch how that plays out in a city like this. Today I made it a…
So what was it about a camera that even made you/me/us pick it up in the first place? Seriously. Think about it. That simple question has been running through my head all day. It made me think about this old Canon body that my dad used to have in our closet. I couldn’t tell you…
