I’d never been on a photo tour before and I didn’t get to even speak to our guide before the trip. I wan’t sure what to expect on my first ever photography tour.

 

Yellowstone is one of the most popular national parks in the USA to visit…in the summer. But few visit in winter. They have no idea what they’re missing.

Not that many people know anything about Kyrgyzstan, let along visit. I got the opportunity to go, so I took it and wow, was it surprising.

I don’t think I’ve ever visited a country more misunderstood by outsiders (including travelers) than Bhutan. In this post I do my best to clear up these misconceptions alongside some of the best photos I’ve ever taken.

After a very difficult period of my life I spent 10 days exploring the ruins at Angkor Wat. These are my reflections.

Listed as one of UNESCO’s endangered World Heritage Sites, the Banaue Rice Terraces are a visual splendor and historical treasure that is slowly falling into ruin.

From the ancient rice terraces of the Philippine Cordillera, to the center of the Stanely Cup riot in Vancouver, to the world’s most bizarre and beautiful festival, Burning Man, these are my favorite shots from my travels over the years.

Taiwan has two surreal coastlines, Yehliu and Jialeshui, located at opposite ends of the country, and they’re mind-blowingly bizarre.
