This Monday I’m excited to kick off what I’m calling Mini Story Monday. The simple goal of MSM is to tell a story in just a few short paragraphs – an ongoing attempt to break down any story to it’s bare essentials. Telling better stories requires telling stories. And that’s my aim ___ In early…

2012 was a long year. 366 days I’m told. That extra day seemed a lot longer than a day, yeah? I’m glad to see it end and eagerly looking forward to what 2013 has in store . Nonetheless, here is a non-sensical, non-sequential, non-thought-out bunch of images from my 2012. I literally went through month…
I’m continuing with a three part series on a trip I recently took to the QingHai country side of western China. You can check out parts 1 and 2 here: Light & Shadows & Colors & Shapes. For some backstory, see below: Last month I visited GonLung Jampaling Monastery in HuZhu county, QingHai, western China. HuZhu is one of…
I continue to have a great time catching up on the last few months of much-needed editing. Lot’s done. Lot’s more to go. I posted the first part of my series here, called Light & Shadows. Part two is appropriately called ‘Colors & Shapes.’ Just to give you a heads up, here is what’s going…
Two months worth of back editing continues. Last month I visited GonLung Jampaling Monastery in HuZhu county, QingHai, western China. HuZhu is one of the hidden treasures of western China because of it’s vast and varied minority mix – Mongolia, Tibetan, Muslim, Han. Just to give you an idea of how confusing things can get…

I have to apologize. I haven’t been around for a few weeks. The Chinese version of the flu and my firmly American immune system got into a cage match. The Chinese flu won in what will go down as one of my immune systems weakest performances. After 17 solid days of being sick and a…
“Going to the Mountains Is Going Home” – John Muir No – I’m not cutting corners. Not much happened for me on day 4. Infact, I took less than 100 pictures that day. Why? Well, part of leading a tour in central Tibet is the dirty work – the business side. Keeping our workmates happy…
Who doesn’t like a good debate? Lhasa’s Sera Monastery is known for it’s debates. Before I even attempt to describe it to you, try to mentally block out all the “debates” you’ve been to and fallen asleep at in the past, because these debates deviate wildly from what you would imagine a good ol’ fashioned run-of-the-mill…
“Not all those who wander are lost.” – J.R.R. Tolkien I have absolutely no apologies for using one of Tolkien’s most overused and bastardized lines. This quote couldn’t describe more accurately how I feel when I stepped foot into the alleyways of Lhasa. The advice I often give to people visiting for the first time:…
