If you read my last post about things to do and take pictures of in Tulum, you know we’re huge fans of this off the radar travel destination for travelers that want to take it easy, without the “cookie cutter” tourism experience. In my previous post I covered a lot about Tulum itself – the […]
One of our favorite places to vacation is the slightly off the beaten path city of Tulum, Mexico (about a 1.5 hour drive from Cancun). We like like the fact that you can get a bungalow steps from the beach in a relatively non touristy area. The area is known for “eco hotels,” hip restaurants, […]
Photographers! You don’t have to travel the world dragging around a giant DSLR camera anymore. You can get awesome pictures with less bulky camera gear. For the size and weight of one DSLR and a single lens, you can carry a couple of mirrorless camera bodies and a whole bunch of quality lenses. How do I […]
If you don’t mind the oppressive heat and humidity, Cambodia’s Angkor region is a photographer’s dream.

I just got back from a South American journey that put about 3500 more clicks on my trusty Canon 5dmkII. The trip was a photographic gold mine, especially when we traveled into the beautiful Patagonian countryside of Argentina. This photo series covers a small part of the trip where we visited Magellanic Penguins on an […]
Australia was an awesome place to visit! Apart from the beauty of Sydney, the people there genuinely did seem to enjoy their lives, there was lots to see, and the food wasn’t half bad at all. In fact, some of the best Thai food I’ve ever had (and I’ve been to Thailand) came out of […]
I made it down to historic Birmingham, Alabama a couple of weeks ago to attend a friend’s wedding. Having never been through the city before, I was surprised by the beauty of the architecture, public art, and parks in downtown Birmingham.
