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…

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 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.

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:…
Corny jokes aside, it’s good to get our 2011 Tibet, Everest, Nepal Overland tour started. It’s been a busy last few days for me getting tons of stuff ready for the trip that kicks off this evening. The good kind of busy. I’ve been able to enjoy a true spring in Chengdu over the last…
About 4 months ago I posted on my visit to Beijing and some shooting I did in the Beijing with my friend Jonah Kessel. See my images from that day of shooting here. My shooting was just for fun and to burn some time while I was waiting on some answers about visa issues –…
So I’m jumping the gun a little bit here – but who cares, it’s the holidays right? If you read my blog the other day you will know that I had a pretty busy December. I spent a few days in Beijing and TianJin (see here) and then I headed to Chengdu and then…
I hope all of you are having an amazing holiday season and stuffed to the gills with food made mostly of butter and sugar. For me, it’s been a busy but good December. From December 8th until December 20th I was on the road. Though I didn’t leave the country during this marathon trip –…
