Milford Sound, Fiordland National Park, New Zealand, 2010 (Click the thumbnail to make it larger) A quick postcard to say hello.

The Legendary H on the wharf at Glenorchy. A quick hello on the way out of Queenstown.

Yesterday was Bungy jumping – way …

Sitting in the RV after what was close to the perfect evening. Fantastic pasta dinner overlooking what might now be my favourite beach in the world, with a bottle of Pepperjack Shiraz, and waiting for the sun to drop. Then two perfect hours with cameras, lenses, tripod, and hopping from rock to rock, exploring caves and arches, and (though there …

Postcard From New Zealand

In Jessie and I, News & Stuff, Travel by David29 Comments

Hello from New Zealand. The Legendary H and I arrived something like 3 days ago, picked up the camper and hit the road.

A (long overdue) Postcard From Ladakh

In News & Stuff, Travel by David35 Comments

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.

Postcard from Venice, Italy

In Travel, Workshops and Events by David13 Comments

Hi from Venice. We arrived here Saturday afternoon to hard light, pressing crowds of tourists, and endless kiosks selling kitsch. As always my own expectations and the reality of the place collided. But we walked, afternoon turned to evening, and slowly the Venice I wanted to shoot emerged. I suspect Venice will be, for me, a place best shot in …

Last Postcard from Camogli

In Travel, Workshops and Events by David9 Comments

It’s our last day here and I’m both sad to leave Camogli, and excited to be moving on to Venice, a city I’ve wanted to see and photograph for a long, long time. And with that longing comes expectations and the rollercoaster of wrestling through those expectations to get through to the other side where I can see the place …

Postcard from Vernazza, Italy

In Travel, Workshops and Events by David10 Comments

Hello from Camogli on the beautiful Ligurian coast in Italy. We were in Vernazza again last night, chasing the light, and also the pasta. It’s lovely here, but no easier to create a photograph that truly jumps out at you. We spend our days chasing the moment, the light, the lines, and getting them all to dance with each other …
