The Galapagos Islands: A Preview
TweetI’m back from what has been an amazing trip through the Galapagos Islands with my good friends at Gecko’s Adventures. Although I’m feeling a little bit “land sick” and the room seems to constantly trying to tilt itself on edge, I wanted to share some of the things I saw with you right now. I’ve [...]
A World of Street Performers: A Photo Essay by Samuel Jeffery

I am Going to… The Galapagos Islands

Getting the Shot: A Morning of Photography on Ometepe Island
TweetMy feet, wrapped uncomfortably in my slippery flip-flops, step awkwardly through the wet rain forest grass. The faint light of my headlamp guides me along the narrow trail which drops faster than the straps on my footwear seem prepared to handle. Around me everything is silent. Even the bats, it seems, have decided to that [...]
Photo of the Week: Lion Profile
TweetMy feet have felt extra itchy of late, and I know what did it to me. It was that bloody adventure across the Darien Gap. The truth is that before I left I was very much ready to get back to Medellin; to see my friends, get some work done, launch my travel magazine and [...]
