O.K. Sorry for the LONG delay, i know that I'm about 5 weeks behind, so I will try to get caught up as best I can. So, to keep it interesting, I will continue to drink beer as I write, so maybe it will get funnier as it goes on! We left Las vegas (cue Sheryl Crow) on a windy afternoon heading North then West to Death Valley. The wind was pretty strong and gusty varying from head-on to straight across the highway. This made the ride take a little longer than anticipated. We got into the park and quickly began to decend to over a hundred feet below sea level. We Drove around the park and found a field of sand dunes and decided that it was time for a nice break. We took our ... read more

Soon I will be living in Surat Thani, Thailand. When the sun sets here it rises there. It is 14 hours ahead. 14 hours into the future. Those 14 hours are a greater separation than the 8263 miles between where I am and where I will be. As a traveler you lose that time on your way there and you gain it back when you come home. It is a neat and predictable loop. But what happens to that time when you move? When the loop is stretched out like a long straight curveless path? I would like to think of that time as a tether; a guide line home that doesn’t pull or weigh you down, a reminder that no matter where you are going you will always be tied to where you are from. ... read more

Redondo Beach is an amazing place. Me and Angie both agreed that we felt like it wasn't overcrowded like most beaches are, but instead a cozy town that has a cheerfull setting. It was a quick drive there and back without getting stuck in traffic. The weather was almost at its best. It was in the upper 60'S and was sunny on saturday, but overcast was apparent on Sunday, making both days gorgeous. We arrived at Redondo at 11:30 am and checked in at the url=http://www.crowneplaza.com/h/d/cp/1/en/hotel/redcp?crUrl=/h/d/cp/1/en/hotelsearchresults&rpb=hotel&start=nullCrowne Royal. After checking in we decided to find Samba because we had made reservations online. When we arrived at Samba it looked pretty empty, but then again it was Saturday morning. The good thing about saturday morning is the Brazilian Brunch they served. I... read more

I am a Photo Journalist from Los Angeles, California, and have been an established photographer for over 35 years. I specialize in subjects associated with adventure, travel, and expeditions. I employ a unique style that involves blending rich colors and natural light into my compositions depicting landscapes and cultural phenomena. I have spent over 40 years exploring this Earth of ours which we share. My travels have taken me to lands that are blessed by affluence as well as to those stricken by poverty and, at times, are ravaged by conflict. It has always been my wish, using my camera lens, to share my experiences with others. In 2006, I published a book, Faces of the World, to share these experiences. My hope was to share this visual compilation of my travels and my personal experiences ... read more
