I was fortunate enough to spend the last three days in Repkong valley at the LaRu festival. You won’t find the LaRu festival listed much of anywhere. It’s not on wikipedia and a quick google search shows almost nothing. I’ve been told that it’s listed in Lonely Planet but I can’t find it really anywhere….
I love looking back at a six month period and remembering what I’ve been doing as a photographer and where it has taken me. We always tend to be so busy on the current project or thinking about what we have to do next that we often times forget to look back and see where…
Todays Tech Tuesday is all about lighting. Let me start by saying that there are some travel photographers that won’t go near artificial lighting – I am not one of those. I’m not discriminating between those who use artificial light and those who don’t. I don’t really draw a strong distinction between the two, other…
I started my work as a travel/humanitarian/cultural photographer kind of by accident but definitely with open eyes.

Last weekend I got the chance to shoot a Malaysian wedding w/ Matt (see his shots here). It was quite an experience full of customs that frankly I was somewhat ignorant about other than my desperate night before wikipedia cram. A Malaysian muslim wedding is an extremely colorful thing which made it a lot of…
Part 2 – Downtown Penang + Batik Factory So after my meetings and shoot(s) in Hong Kong, I headed down to Penang for a bit of business and pleasure w/ our good ol’ Digital Trekker. I have to admit, I went to Penang not knowing much about it other than it’s really really hot there…
I spent the last 7 days hoping between meetings, countries, and shoots. Last Tuesday I had a meeting in Hong Kong to research possibilities for a future lighting/fashion/city-based workshop there with some awesome instructor(s). Was an amazing trip filled with good food, some new friends, and just a whole lot of doing what I love…
