TweetOne of the most beautiful things about Europe is how you can hop on a train and be taken almost instantly to another world. My Eurail pass certainly got a work out in terms of long distance trips (more on that later), but even short journeys can bring you to such amazingly contrasting places. I [...]

TweetI’m not sure why, but whenever I say the words “The Cliffs of Dover” I think of the movie the Princess Bride; which, by the way, may be one of the greatest movies of all time. I can quote almost every line from that movie, and I think I’ve seen it about 50 times. Anyways, [...]

TweetFor those of you who have picked up the latest issue of my travel magazine, you’ve already seen this image. For those of you who have delayed, well, I’ll be nice to you an post it here as well. While I wasn’t thrilled with London, it was a great place to do photography. Of all [...]

TweetAfter my firm declaration that Manchester wasn’t for me, I came into Liverpool with low expectations.  I didn’t expect to be dazzled, I wasn’t really into The Beatles, and I hadn’t really heard anyone’s reports on the city prior to visiting.  I wasn’t shocked that I really enjoyed Liverpool, but let’s just say that I [...]

TweetCan someone please tell me what this “sleep” thing is that everyone keeps talking about?  I don’t think I’ve had a proper night in about a month.  Not that I’m complaining though.  Not sleeping means that there are much more exciting things going on. Over the past two months I’ve travelled across 11 counties, taken [...]

TweetThe first couple of days I spent wandering the streets of Belfast I did so quite obliviously. I found myself searching for a past which seemed to be hidden beneath the surface. However, when I told the owner of City Backpacker one day that I was going to go do some shooting downtown in the [...]

TweetDublin: the little village that thinks it’s a city. Or maybe it’s the other way around; I’m not all too sure. Regardless, Dublin, Ireland was the first stop on my Europe trip which to date has been amazing. However, when I got to Dublin, I have to admit something: I got culture shock. I’ll go [...]

TweetWhen I made my second trip to New York City this past month I had all the grand intentions to shoot photography until I broke.  I was going to be up pre-dawn and shooting photos until well after dark.  Well, it didn’t happen.  As usual, a string of amazing events in my life was followed [...]

TweetWhile in the Dominican and Haiti I tried to make photographing people a priority of mine. Despite the fact that I have been photographing people for years on the road it is still something I struggle with in terms of comfort approaching them. However, I told myself that I was going to approach at least [...]
