Foto Flashback: Vietnamese Monk

I was just browsing through my Flickr account and musing over the collection of photos I’ve managed to gather throughout my years of travel… which led me to a thought: why not start regularly posting a random photo from the past? Hence the birth of Foto Flashback. This photo is a portrait of a Vietnamese [...]
Urban Funk Photography in KC

I caught up with a couple friends in Kansas City yesterday. We all ventured out in the frigid winter air to take some photos around downtown KC… Click here to see the entire photo set.
Spotting the Swiss in Guate

I was camped out at La Esquina completely absorbed in working on my new project, www.arteantigua.com, when Yves Maurer‘s remarks could no longer be ignored.

Freshwater Pools at El Pilar

As I’ve started to get into my groove here in La Antigua Guatemala, I’ve began to run again. I’m hoping to become disciplined enough to start training for a marathon again. That’s difficult in this socially non-stop Latin hot spot though. Anyway, one of the lesser known gems of La Antigua is Finca El Pilar [...]
