I saw an ad in Rangefinder Magazine yesterday for the Steadepod, a sort of monopod/tripod replacement. It’s basically a retractable stainless steel cable – you put the base of the [...]
Alas, this is our last morning in Utah before heading home to Washington, DC, so we definitely had to get up for the sunrise. Of all the places we’ve seen around Moab, I must say that Turret Arch by the North and South Windows is my hands down favorite. It’s where we started on [...]
I was playing around with my Utah Parks Road Trip Day 12 photo of Landscape Arch in Arches National Park, Utah. Check out this look. It’s called “Day for Night.” I like it…

We’re exshausted, having spent the afternoon on a wild goose – or should I say wild arch – chase through the Moab wilderness. We were searching for that most mystical of arches, Tukuhnikivats, the unpronouncable. No one we asked had ever heard of it, not the park rangers at Arches National Park nor the woman [...]
Transitions Abroad has published another one of my photo stories, this one of my late 2008 trip par hasard through Dakar, Senegal, which ended up being my best trip in 10 years! I felt like I was back in Peace Corps again. The story goes like this:

OK, perhaps I’m being a little dramatic. But still, this is the day that I’ll never forget. The day my Yaktrax fell into the abyss. The day I was stuck way out in the funnel. The day I was too paralyzed to move forward, too petrified to move back.
Like always, it all started out [...]

So, if you were wondering why I dropped off the face of my blog in the middle of my Utah Parks Road Trip, to tell you the truth, I didn’t realize how tired I would be at the [...]
Virgin River, snow-covered mountains in the background, Zion National Park, Utah
With yesterday’s AWESOME fiery Zion sunset, we were totally motivated to get up early this morning, hopeful for an incredible sunrise. Alas, it was not to be. It was already snowing when the alarm sounded at 6 AM. We still rushed to [...]
Ganvie, Benin, with some 3,000 stilted buildings and a population of 20,000-30,000 people, may be the largest "lake vllage" in Africa. In Ganvie, the population lives exclusively from fishing, building houses on stilts in and next to Lake Nokoue. Because the Dan-Homey religion prohibited attacks on communities living in the water, the village [...]
