Over the last few days I’ve been going through shots from a scouting trip I took in January. First of all, I edited the shots I wanted (or so I thought) almost two months ago and had no intentions of revisiting that shoot other than the occasional sentimental impulse.

This is a topic that has been on my mind almost daily for the last three months in one form or another. What’s the question exactly? If I had to sum it up, it would be this: Some necessary back story. I live in far Western China as a photographer, photo business owner, and teacher….
Over the last 2 months there have been a series of break-ins in our complex. Mostly computers and the occasional mp3 player being lifted. It’s been a major concern for the residents here and was definitely a concern for my wife and I as we were heading out of the country for 2+ weeks. My…
Wanted to let you guys know about a trip I took about a month ago scouting for the new Lumen Dei trips here on the plateau. We took a 7 day scouting trip to the areas we will be visiting this summer. Traveling at altitude on the plateau during the winter is – well-…
