In the spirit of VH1, I am going to start taking time each week to tell the stories behind some of my favorite photos.
This week I want to tell the story behind the photo of the red shirt protester I took in Bangkok in 2010.

Monday Travel Update – Guat I’m Doing in Central America
Ruins of Tikal
I’m on my first G Adventure tour of the year: Mayan Ruins & Culture. Since I checked in last week in San Salvador, me and my group have:
- Spent two nights in the quaint village of Suchitoto, El Salvador
- Visited the archeological site of Joya de Ceren in El Salvador. The Pompeii of the Americas.
- Visited the ruins of Copan in Honduras.
- Visited the Archaeological Park and Ruins of Quirigua in Guatemala.
- Spent the morning in the amazing Tikal National Park in Guatemala.
- Spent an evening on the peaceful Rio Dulce river in Guatemala.
Photo Essay : Italy
This May 11-24 I’ll be leading a travel photography tour through Italy with G Adventures. We will be traveling from Venice to Rome visiting many of the highlights of Italy along the way: Florence, Pisa, Cinque Terre, Sienna, Vatican City, Naples, Pompeii and the Amalfi Coast. I’ve previously visited most of the locations on the tour and have had the pleasure to photograph them already. Here is a taste of some of the photos you will be able to come back with if you join me on the tour.
I selected Italy for the 2013 tour because it is a travel photography gold mine. Almost every village and train station has some photogenic quality about it. Not only will you walk away with great image, but I’ll also be working with you one-on-one to help improve your technique.
Sales pitch over. Enjoy the photos!

Monday Travel Update – Thawing Out in El Salvador Edition
Starting line of the Yukon Quest
Traveling from Central America to northern Canada in the Winter and back has to be the most jarring change in climate that I’ve experienced in all my travels. Nonetheless, I managed to handle the transition pretty well. I picked up cold weather gear in Texas that had been sitting at my manager Amy’s house since I got back from Antarctica. That plus the gear I was able to borrow in Whitehorse made the experience very doable.

Monday Travel Update – Let the Bed Bugs Bite Edition
Bed bug bites on my elbow. Not the best photo, I know.
While not life threatening or dangerous, bed bugs are really annoying and I have no desire to have them again.
