Today we continue with 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. Volume 1 – The White Monkey Fortress ___ Midnight, January…
This is the first half of a two part post – a recap of the last seven years of my life, my life in Tibet as a photographer, and my family’s recent return to America. As many of you have suspected, I’m a full time photographer in America now, and here’s my story. ___ In…
“Thousands of tired, nerve-shaken, over-civilized people are beginning to find out going to the mountains is going home; that wilderness is a necessity…” ― John Muir “Why Not” – that attitude , in a sense, is what established my relationship with the Tibetan plateau in 2005.

Phottix has been putting out some great stuff lately, specifically the Odin system recently released for Nikon. Last year I picked up a set of their (yet to be released at the time) triggers and receivers. Four office moves, three new apartments, a move to a new country, and having a child delayed me from…
I’m happy to have my good friend and cohort, Matt Brandon, on the blog today talking about our last Tibet workshop together. We at Plateau Photo Tours are excited to have Matt back again this year from what will be an amazing trip. We spent a little time discussing our experience in Tibet and decided…
