I didn’t really take many portraits while traveling around southern Africa. I was much more concerned about the animals. It was such a feast of opportunity and I was in a different mode than I usually am. I do love this shot of the people rowing their makoro to work on the Okavango Delta, [...] Continue reading Makoro Folk 
After wandering around the ruins of Angkor Wat, it seems rather customary to visit Lake Tonle Sap. This is the largest lake in the country and on our boat we visited many of the Vietnamese tribespeople who live on the water. They basically live on what we would call a house boat or house [...] Continue reading Dog on Tonle Sap 
Living on the highest and harshest plateau on earth, Tibetans are a hardy lot. They have to be to live off such a difficult land. You can see it in this woman’s face that she has to work hard every day. We came across her as she was finishing her laundry. She had been [...] Continue reading Portrait of a Tibetan Woman 
Isn’t it funny how such a small gray city bird can cause so much joy or frustration depending on the person. Take my husband, pigeons drive him mad, especially when they want to roost on our balconies. I, personally, like watching people feed them, little kids chase them, and watch them strut across roads [...] Continue reading Things that make me happy! Pigeons…and Children Chasing Them 
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 
What a harsh, rough and tumble place Mongolia is. I think you can see all the hardship of living off the land in this man’s face. 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 |
