I finally made it to Iceland earlier this year. My friend and I decided to make the trip with very little planning – all we knew at first was that we wanted to see as much of the country as possible and document our travels through pictures and film. We had a full week to … Continue reading
The last few years have been exceptionally busy. There’s never a dull moment at work, and I’ve been trying to get away as much as possible when I have some time off. But I have been stingy and I haven’t been sharing much. With the exception of friends and family who received one of my … Continue reading
It seems fitting returning to New Orleans after all this time. I’ve posted pictures from there on a few occasions in the past, including for my last post of any significance back in November of 2014. Since then, I’ve been lucky enough to have taken several trips to the Big Easy, some of them undocumented … Continue reading
I’m long overdue in posting some pictures from my recent trip to Gaza. Stay tuned for that. There is still quite a bit to process and I hope I’ll get to it in good time. But for now, I will share one of my first impressions shortly after getting in the car on the Palestinian … Continue reading
There’s nothing like a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice. Try as they might, boxed and bottled versions of the vitamin C cocktail always pale in comparison. Nevertheless, the price of the staple breakfast drink have gone up steadily in recent years. Demand might be down, but a crippling disease known as citrus greening has … Continue reading
I’ve spent my last two Fridays working in Cape Canaveral… and driving back down to Miami. Both times I stayed nearby in Cocoa Beach. For those who have never been, it sounds much nicer than it actually is there. We wrapped things up mid afternoon on that first Friday. Instead of driving down during rush … Continue reading
The flight from Miami to Freeport only lasted about 30 minutes… but it would be another two hours or so before we actually made it to our hotel on the beach. I flew in with one of my colleagues and six bags, including four cases of gear. A word of warning to anyone intending to … Continue reading
I finally made it out to Jamaica… nearly two months ago!! What can I say? There are plenty of distractions in Miami outside of work that might have played some part in delaying this post. I left on Christmas day to meet a couple friends who were flying in from Baltimore. It was my first (personal) … Continue reading
Towards the end of December, my team took a trip to east Texas to tell the story of a community concerned about living near the controversial Keystone XL pipeline. Although the Obama adminstration has yet to decide on the northern leg of the project, the southern portion goes into operation today. These are just some … Continue reading
It’s been a while since I posted any pictures taken with my Canon 5D Mark III. Indeed, it’s been a while since I’ve used it at all. That’s not good (although it does say a lot about how much I like my Fuji kit). I moved to Florida in July, but so far I only … Continue reading
It was my first real opportunity for landscape photography with the X-Pro1. I already shared some infrared shots from my recent trip to Joshua Tree National Park. It was my second time there; the first was in the spring of 2012 shortly after I bought my 5D Mark III – also the site of my first … Continue reading
On a recent visit to Los Angeles, I decided to take a solo road trip back to Joshua Tree National Park. The desert park was the staging ground for my first 5D Mark III shoot a couple years ago. This time I wanted to take my X-Pro1 for a real landscape shoot… albeit a relatively … Continue reading
