Travel & Humanitarian Photos
It’s late. I’m cleaning, testing and packing gear ready for a few weeks shooting in India and I’m uploading images to Photoshelter for a client at the same time. The image below is one that’s been licensed but it’s an image that I haven’t revisited for a while so I thought I’d share it. This [...]
Getting on the front cover of the Lonely Planet guide for Bhutan
“I had an amazing time!” “Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge, insight and experience. This workshop helped me grow as a photographer – and as a person. Back home, I am walking more slowly, talking to more people and getting to know them better before lifting the camera (the results are amazing). By [...]
I’m excited to announce a group photo tour to Bhutan later this year. I will be hosting a photo expedition during which we’ll photograph the autumn tsechus (festivals). Our group will convene in Bhutan at the end of September for a two-week tour, visiting some of the most colourful and lively festival celebrations in the [...]
October found me in Bhutan for what proved to be the most memorable month of 2008. It’s difficult to choose just one image from Bhutan but despite looking for a more obscure or abstract photo to illustrate my trip, this one keeps popping up and is difficult to ignore.

I thought I’d share a small selection of things that caught my eye: After the recent closure of the PhotoShelter Collection, it seems that Digital Railroad is very likely to close. [...]
Back home in my Bangkok apartment after a tiring but hassle-free return trip from Bhutan, I’m ignoring the mountain of unopened post, turning a blind-eye to the growing list of unread e-mails and closing the door on the exploding suitcase of unwashed laundry in favour of a quick flick through the photos I’ve taken over [...]
I’m sitting at the only Internet computer in the town of Jakar in Bhutan. I was hoping to bring you a few pictures from the first week of my Bhutanese jaunt, not least because I’m excited about how they’re turning out. The Bhutanese people are the friendliest, the scenery is wonderful and the photo opportunities [...]
If I had a blog category for “Miscellaneous” then this post would surely fall under it. But “Miscellaneous” always seems a bit vague to me so we’ll go with “Travel” although this post is a quick catch-up on several things I’ve been meaning to share. 2008 – My plans for the remainder of the year [...]
