As a travel photojournalist, I strive to tell stories with every picture I take instead of looking for technically perfect shots.This picture taken in Riga, Latvia is one of my favorites from the collection. People casually stroll by in the park as the groom and maid of honor try to console the bride.There’s the look [...]

Sorting through 600+ photos is no easy task, so I picked just a few low resolution shots – 70 – for the online gallery. The high resolution versions require post-processing as they are in their original raw NEF format. About 10 of the 70 shots online were contributed by my trusty partner using my camera. [...]

Quite excited to find out that one of my photos made the “August – Week 2” selection in the International Photo Contest. Check it out. It’s the first one in the group. One of my previous shots had made National Geographic’s “Your Shot” selection before.

Finally turned the big 3-0 yesterday. I’d been waiting on it for awhile now. The last decade brought along self discovery and acceptance. It also helped re-prioritize my life. In those subtle moments as I observe my parents speak animatedly, I see the signs – groove lines, turfs of white hair, and the eyes. Eyes [...]

One of the kids at Mercy Home who’ve stolen my heart. Spent some time (not enough!) catching up with them, bringing some supplies, and playing a little bit of soccer. Currently working on more writeups and hope to post a photo gallery from Nigeria tomorrow.

I introduce you to Surströmming, fermented Baltic herring. Its smell is so pungently horrid even the flies circling [...]

After two weeks traveling, its back to the daily grind – catching up on hundreds of email (junk already excluded). The last couple days saw me in Nigeria, as well as a few days spent way up in Norrbotten. As I sort through a ton of photographs and stories, here are a few highlights (in [...]

While I’m traveling for two weeks, here are a couple favorite shots for the postcard series. While volunteering in Nicaragua, we instantly bonded with the teachers we were training. One of them brought along her adorable daughter who instantly became our little pet. This shot was taken on the last day of training as they [...]

While I’m traveling for two weeks, here are a couple favorite shots for the postcard series. While in Bermuda earlier this year, we went to watch a dolphin show. I watched as the trainers gave the dolphins massages preparing them for the show.

While I’m traveling for two weeks, here are a couple favorite shots for the postcard series. Years ago while roaming the cobbled streets of Krakow, Poland, I ran into a couple nuns who seemed to be having so much fun as they shared ice-cream and laughter. There was a certain timelessness and purity about the [...]
