I’ve been working my way back through the last many years of my personal photography… none of which has been shared (yet)… and apparently I spent a significant amount of time pointing a camera at the sun . There were over 3,000 images… in the last 5 years alone. Over 700 from 2023 alone! I’m…

One week has passed since the Great North American Eclipse. A week was enough to realize that Real Good Words™ aren’t coming to me.

I haven’t touched this site in well over 12 years. It certainly goes without saying, but I’ll say it anyhow: An awful lot has changed.

I’m really excited to announce our first tour/workshop of 2013. We will be holding a workshop in one of my favorite places in all of Tibet, Garze prefecture. Garze has the most unique architecture I’ve ever seen in all of Tibet and the people are relatively untouched by modernization as compared to other places on the plateau….
