I have taken photos of my daughters all over this world, and this is one of my favorites. Devon just happens to be wearing the pink/maroon combo which looks stunning with the beige wall behind her. I also think the photo works well because it follows the rule-of-thirds twice, and there is action and [...] Continue reading Portrait of a Traveling Daughter 
Vietnam is a fascinating country, and everywhere you look there is something new and exotic…and different. Well, this lady could be found in any country in the world. After a hard few hours of shopping, she needed a rest. Problem: What does she do with her veggies? Hang ‘em on a toe. I love [...] Continue reading Portrait of the Bean Lady 
This photo represents one of the coolest things we did while in Mongolia. Here we were not far from the middle of nothing, and our hostess asks us if we would like to hear a throat singer. Well, yes, but where? No worries, he’ll come to your ger and he’ll bring his nieces who [...] Continue reading Portrait – Mongolian Musician 
This Nubian girl seemed to be the only person around as we wandered through this village on the bank of the Nile across from Aswan. She was rather shy, but she also wanted her photo taken. I’m glad she did. Egypt was one of those countries where many, many people did not [...] Continue reading Nubian Girl Egypt 
Walking around outside the Forbidden City, I came upon this sweet mom and daughter. We couldn’t communicate with anything other than smiles and hand signals, but we had a great time. Those are the memorable experiences while traveling that I love, even if the interaction only lasts five minutes. [...] Continue reading Flag Girl

From the wind and sun wrinkles, to the length and thickness of his wool garb, you can just tell you have to come from hardy stock to [...] Continue reading Portrait – Mongolia 
If you have visited the Philippines you have no doubt heard of Balut. It is a nearly developed duck fetus that is boiled and eaten out of the shell. I wanted to try one, but really had no idea about how to go about obtaining one. That problem was taken care of one [...] Continue reading A Taste of the Philippines – Balut 
Traveling around Bulgaria, it sounds like the people are always yelling at you, or maybe about you. I don’t speak Bulgarian, so I just never knew what they were saying. It’s funny, though, they were so friendly. I stopped all over the country meeting people, shaking their hands, commenting on their gorgeous horses. So, [...] Continue reading A Bulgarian Man…and his Horse 
We’ve all been struggling with the price of gas over the last few years. In Cambodia, their answer is to buy it and resell it themselves from soda bottles. When our tuk tuk pulled up to a stand of shelves of various colors in questionable looking bottles, I was hoping he wasn’t stopping [...] Continue reading Need Gas?
I’m defiitely partial to portraits when I’m traveling. I think I travel as much to meet people, than to see the important and famous sights of the world. While traveling through southern Africa, the people are just so friendly and happy, and smiley. This guy, our guide on our very first ever safari, [...] Continue reading Portrait of a Zambian Safari Guide |
