Wherever I go, I typically have a camera with me... and I'm often asked how I take the images that I do.
So I decided to open my bag (so to speak) and let you have a peek inside. So come and check out my current camera gear setup, from camera bodies, to tripods, to all sorts of odds and ends.

The drums: pounding. The crowd: dense. The colors: vibrant.
In a word,
It was after 5:00pm, and I had spent the day on nearby Bilugyun (Ogre) Island in the heat of Myanmar (Burma) summer. I was exhausted. So exhausted in fact, that when I caught a glimpse of a line of 150-odd monks walking toward us on the other side of the road my first instinct was to just move on.
Then, something I'd never seen before.A row of people walking on the other side of the road. Brightly colored garland draped over-top of an apparatus some were Read More
So the 45th round of Travel Photo Roulette has come to a close. First off, thanks to everyone for entering. All in all, we received 29 entries on the "surreal" theme. It was a tougher-than-usual theme, but there were so many great entries from many different angles on the topic.
Before we get to the winner, I'll count down my top 5:Read More
That beautiful beachfront resort you're staying at? Well, where you're sleeping was probably once a jungle, or at least something wilder than your semi-hard mattress.
Taken near the sleepy seaside village of Kuala Penyu, this photo is just one example of the rapid development taking place in Malaysian Borneo.Read More
Lost. Well only kind of.
My travel partner had a thing for the Lord of the Rings, and apparently some filming was done in the area in and around Mt Potts in New Zealand's Rangitata Valley. I can't say that it was for sure, but I can say that...Read More
A little wink. I'm sure he would if he could (he can't, no eyelids).
Snapping photos from a distance, keeping as quiet as I can, while he waits for that one move that will have him frightened and running off. Such is the game we play.
This time, I won. I got this shot before he jetted off, maybe to check the sunrise.

Shot on New Zealand's Bay of Plenty, this photo brings out all of what I was feeling on that warm summer eve. Warm rays of sun glaring over the mountains in the distance. Long shadows letting me know that with time, how much things change. The cool ocean waves, and the endless beach. When I was there, I was only there.

I recently covered The ZoneFC 8: Inferno for UK mixed-martial arts site YourMMA.tv. Although I wasn't planning on shooting, I did snap a few of the action with a 35mm lens I had on my camera that evening. It was an exciting night of action in Gothenburg, Sweden. After the jump, you will find a selection from the action, and you can also read my event report over at YourMMA.tv.Read More
As the winner of the first ever Travel Photography Roulette, I was planning to announce that there would be no other Travel Photography Roulette competitions so I can retire as the one and only champion! Alas, the torch must be passed and the show must go on!
While the first competition was "Animals," this week we're going with one of my favorite travel finds: Road Signs! Nothing says too funny like a "Penguins X-ing" sign, especially when they mean it. I know you've all been holding back your quirky signs so people don't think your travel blog is too low brow, but now is your time to shine! I'll be choosing my favorite road sign of all the submissions received for one week, with the contest ending on November 24th.
