Not saying it's because of a hard-knock life, but this monk stood out.
It was his Sak Yant tattoo and his deep red robe. A walk showing an unusual uniqueness in a sea of monks, swinging the fabric as he moved. He walked alone, when there were thousands of others around.
I shot this at an event in Chiang Mai where 12600 monks gathered to accept alms for the flood victims in southern Thailand.

It's early in the morning, and the park is filled with hot air balloons hurriedly trying to set up. For each balloon, teams of people work together to attach the basket, test the burners, and roll out the balloon itself.
Then comes this.Read More
The last lunar eclipse of 2011 happened this evening. For the uninitiated, this event happens when the earth casts its shadow from the sun onto the moon, and it happens roughly 2 times a year on average. If you see it, and whether or not it's full or partial depends on where you are on our lovely planet Earth.
Even though the clouds conspired to obstruct my view for much of the evening, we were able to sneak a peek here and there. This shot, taken as the eclipse crawled towards totality, was about as clear as a shot that I could get.Read More
Life isn't all that easy in Tanzania, and that goes for double if you have a disability. Often a family can't take care of their handicapped members as they are too much of a burden on already stressed households. With little or no support, they are left to fend for themselves on the streets. This women worked at a leather workshop in Moshi that employs disadvantaged and disabled workers called Shah Industries.

Lost. Well only kind of.
My travel partner had a thing for the Lord of the Rings, and apparently some filming was done in the area in and around Mt Potts in New Zealand's Rangitata Valley. I can't say that it was for sure, but I can say that...Read More
A little wink. I'm sure he would if he could (he can't, no eyelids).
Snapping photos from a distance, keeping as quiet as I can, while he waits for that one move that will have him frightened and running off. Such is the game we play.
This time, I won. I got this shot before he jetted off, maybe to check the sunrise.

Blood. Brains. Outstretched arms. Vacant stares.
It seems no one was immune. Firefighters, newlyweds, panhandlers, interstellar supersoldiers, even a guy who was obviously bitten while on the toilet. The latter was found walking the streets with his pants down to his ankles & holding a copy of Men's Health magazine, all while slowly shuffling up the Broadway Bridge from the Vimy Memorial in downtown Saskatoon.Read More
Shot on New Zealand's Bay of Plenty, this photo brings out all of what I was feeling on that warm summer eve. Warm rays of sun glaring over the mountains in the distance. Long shadows letting me know that with time, how much things change. The cool ocean waves, and the endless beach. When I was there, I was only there.

So the world is a dangerous place.
- You can get hit by a car walking across the street on a sunny spring day.
- You could eat tasty spinach tainted with salmonella.
- You could be electrocuted by wizzing on an electric fence.
In Tasmania, nature fights back. A hike through the forest in Mt Field National Park brings... Read More
Yet... we manage to survive (usually) to live another day.
