Each week brings some new scenery and location for me – that’s just the way I like it. If you want to follow where I am real time – then on Friday I will post some of my Instagram photos from the current week. Some weeks I may be traveling somewhere exotic, and some weeks […]
I stood on the street corner early one morning in Saigon with my camera. As the next wave of motorbike traffic sped by, I was ready – the camera viewfinder was up to my eye, and I was ready to get in sync with the traffic whizzing by me. I’d catch a motorbike through my […]
The street was lit by a yellow glow of street lamps and moonlight. I had just done every bit of photography I could fit in before the sun went down in Savannah and now I was starved after a long travel day. I checked my map and made sure I was going in the right […]
“May I take your picture?” I asked while I also mimed the action with my camera around my neck so that I could make sure I was understood. The baby duckling vendor who a few moments ago was smiling and laughing with her friends looked at me and said with a stone face “Yes – […]

My mind was swimming in thoughts amplified by the fact that I was here visiting this WWII Normandy invasion sight with my European friends […]
I just spent 3 hours in the subway in Stockholm. No, it wasn’t stuck. No, I didn’t get lost. No, I wasn’t held hostage. I actually spent 3 hours in the subway on purpose. When I scoured the internet and my AFAR phone app for ideas on free or cheap things I could do in […]
My mother has said that she could never pick a favorite among her children. This is the pretty standard reaction of most parents. And since I don’t have any kids, I luckily don’t have to deal with this dilemma or question. However, in some ways I could consider writing and photography as my kids – […]
When Skogskyrkogården was created at the beginning of the 1900s, it was unique and unlike anything ever seen before.
