One last full day here in Jamaica. The sun finally came out and I traded my sweater for swim trunks and my snorkelling gear. Stumbled across Tony who took me out to shoot some staged dive shots while I tried to get on top of the learning curve with underwater shooting. I’ve learned so much over the last week, though …
Postcard From Jamaica
Runaway Bay, Jamaica, 2010 Merry Christmas from Jamaica. Spent today chilling. And swimming, And then, uh, swimming with a horse. Lovely here. I’m not really a resort kind of person, so when Robert came by offering rides I ran into the water with the camera. I think he was a little confused when I told him I just wanted to …
New Zealand
Nikon D3s, Sigma 24-70/2.8EX, 1/80 @ f/18, ISO 800 Before I send you off for the holidays and abandon you for Jamaica, I wanted to tell you about the New Zealand trip while it’s fresh in my mind. I went to New Zealand with a hodge podge of impressions garnered from various sources: photographs, stories, and the tourism videos to …
Final Postcard from New Zealand
Curio Bay, South Island, New Zealand, 2010 Sitting at the Christchurch airport waiting for an outbound flight to Auckland. From there it’s a straight shot home and I’ve got 3 days to turn it all around and head to Jamaica for the holidays. What a trip this has been. Very relaxing, and a chance to shoot more landscapes and seascapes …
Postcard From New Zealand – Doubtful Sound
Doubtful Sound, South Island, New Zealand A quick one tonight to say hello before heading to bed. We spent the last two days kayaking Doubtful Sound and had a spectacular time. Doubtful Sound is a fjord, not an actual sound, and is full of all the corresponding majesty and drama. Simply spectacular. I strapped my 5D and Aquatech housing to …
Postcard From New Zealand
Hello from New Zealand. The Legendary H and I arrived something like 3 days ago, picked up the camper and hit the road. We’re now camped in a secluded little spot off the road near Huka Falls on the North Island, and by secluded I mean we pulled in last night and there were kiwi rednecks having a bonfire and …
New Galleries Coming
It’s been a long time coming but I’m almost ready to roll out changes on my portfolio. Many additions, tonnes of edits, and new groupings. This has been way too long overdue but I’m thrilled with how it’s come together, in large part due to Livebooks. These will be accessible on the blog through the portfolio link at the top, …
The Nikon Post
I am approaching this post with trepidation knowing what kind of strange misplaced fury these issues bring up in some people. If only some people put as much energy into their creative lives, eh? But you are not those people, so that’s why I’m not keeping this to myself. You folks are friends and deserve to know the reasons for …
UnSeen
I just walked through the door a couple hours ago, sifted through the pile of mail and stuff that builds up over a 5 week+ absence. Tomorrow I’m on a plane again. Feeling a little rough around the edges! The images above and below are two I shot in Kathmandu while feeling I was having a hard time seeing things. …
A (long overdue) Postcard From Ladakh
Hi folks. Wow, two weeks and not a peep from me. Sorry about that. Ladakh is pretty remote and we were on the road enough that getting to an internet cafe to test my chances at a connection just never happened. But man I love Ladakh. We barely made it out of Leh this morning with an incoming weather front …
