The photographer had made his living selling portraits of Hong Kong street life. He began…

The overland route connecting Lhasa, Tibet with Kathmandu, Nepal is one of the most beautiful and and amazing land routes in all of Asia. Covering a distance of 600 miles, this workshop will take us from…
Part 2 – Downtown Penang + Batik Factory So after my meetings and shoot(s) in Hong Kong, I headed down to Penang for a bit of business and pleasure w/ our good ol’ Digital Trekker. I have to admit, I went to Penang not knowing much about it other than it’s really really hot there…
Welcome to the first edition of Tech Tuesday. Tech Tuesday is where we review a piece of technology – gear, software, gadgetry in general – and see how it fits into our lives as photographers. Being a web designer for years before I got serious about photography, and before that, a *gulp* tech guy, technology…
