If I could only visit Central Park once a year, I would choose a day in the Fall. In Winter it’s a snow-capped wonderland. In Spring and Summer, a flower lover’s delight. But in the Fall, it’s utterly magical. There’s nothing like wandering the park’s winding paths and […]
I don’t think much of him at first, he isn’t particularly big or even that muscular. He just stares at the ground swaying a little from side to side. What’s so intimidating about that? He looks up and I make the mistake of holding his gaze. He doesn’t like […]
Standing on the hill above the ancient nursery, Wendy Sloboda squints into the afternoon sun, her wild mane of blonde dreadlocks resembling an elaborate headdress. Her short, muscular frame is adorned with tattoos: a naked woman surrounded by roses; a huge dragonfly; a portrait of a dog. An illustration […]
People do the craziest things. Just look at reality television. But who am I to judge? I joined the ranks of over 74,000 other nut jobs who’ve downed the famous Sourtoe Cocktail in Dawson City. (If you haven’t heard, that’s a whiskey shot garnished with a desiccated human […]

The Wildlife Conservation Society states that over 800,000 elephants […]
I opened the door of the tiny plane and hopped out, sinking into the wet snow up to my shins. Squinting behind my sunglasses, I scanned the sea of snow-covered peaks glistening against a blinding blue sky. We were completely alone. Tiny specs of life standing in the middle […]
I love a beautiful silhouette. It rarely matters of what. Every silhouette is shrouded in drama and mystery, and more than a drop or two of romance. I love silhouettes for what I don’t see as much as for what I do. Sure you can see more when the […]
(This shot could only be achieved with a long lens from where my vehicle was positioned) Wildlife on an African safari is nothing less than spectacular, but creating truly memorable images can be challenging. Animals don’t appear on command and when they do, making sure we get a […]
Ever thought about floating above an exotic destination in a hot air balloon? You should. No matter how many adventures you embark upon you’ll never forget a ride in a hot-air balloon. There’s no feeling of speed or ascension. It’s as if you’re your basket is resting on […]
