The wall of thick, humid air hit me as I got out of the safety of the air-conditioned truck. I breathed it in – filling my lungs with the salty sea air that is so distinct in coastal regions. From this point on, I was going where no vehicles can go – I had to […]
I stood staring upwards at the chandelier in the dome of the Saltan Qaboos Grand Mosque in Muscat Oman admiring its soft glow. I was slightly surprised that it gets the dubious title of 2nd largest chandelier in the world. It didn’t seem that large to me, but as our guide Rob was pumping out […]
I felt as if the whole city of Copenhagen was under construction. All of the beautiful squares and plazas were not only torn up, but they were dusty and loud. The sound of equipment was in the air as I tried to visit many of the famous buildings and squares around town. The city is […]
The trees limbs were heavy with freshly fallen snow providing a peaceful backdrop on this entirely eerie place. I had made my way outside of Berlin to the little community of Beelitz on this snowy Easter weekend to photograph Beelitz Heilstätten, a sanatorium for tuberculosis treatment methods in the early 20th century.

The glass crunches underneath my shoes with every step I take, the stairway is dimly lit by diffused daylight on this wintery day. A cold blast of air blows through the broken window sending a thin layer of snow swirling on the stairs as I continue to walk to the top level. The paint on […]
Earlier this week I wrote all about the two famous glacier treks you can do in Argentina/Patagonia. One of my favorite things about trekking Perito Moreno and Viedma glaciers were the views and perspective you had on the ice. You can’t really appreciate the sheer size and power of a glacier until you walk on […]
The San Telmo neighborhood in tourist guides is best known for their Sunday market. The old cobblestone streets are lined with blocks and blocks of tables with music, clothing, art, toys, and antiques.
