Every year I post 100 of my favorite photos from the year’s travels. As part of my photo-editing process, I edit my photos chronologically. This means that the more travel or photo-intensive my trips are, the longer it tends to take me to close out a year. This is why this post comes in November, though it features photos from 2021. I hope you’ll enjoy the mixture of landscapes and destinations. 2021 was all about a mixture of local photos in the first half of the year, and then good travel photos in the later months as I was finally able to go back out into the world and resume my exploratio ..read more

Every year I post 100 of my favorite photos from the year’s travels.  It goes without saying that 2020 wasn’t exactly conducive to travel on the scale of previous years. I’ve actively taken a conservative approach to movement, and focused on best practices. This has meant that most of my time spent photographing in 2020 focused on Denmark. However, during July Governmental guidance created a “Green” corridor for approved travel and freedom of movement within Denmark, Norway and Svalbard. It was during this window that I visited Svalbard and the far north of Norway as part of a road ..read more

Whelp. That was a year. As I re-read last year’s birthday blog post, I get goosebumps. Published on March 31st, a few days after my birthday, the company where I work had just announced a three months 20% salary reduction/one day a week furlough. COVID cases were skyrocketing. I had just jumped on an early flight back from London a few days earlier, cutting a business trip short, and was still pondering if I’d been exposed to COVID during my December visit to the Anhui, Fujian, and Hunan provinces.  I closed out the post by saying, “So… who knows where this year will take us. Some things ..read more

Every year I post 100 of my favorite photos from the year’s travels.  Ordinarily, this post comes around the New Year. I’m extremely delayed in getting this post (photos from 2019) written, but had an extensive backlog to work through and have been delayed with work and travels. Now, fully caught up, I’m happy to pull together 100 of my favorite black and white shots from 2019 to share with you.  This year’s post includes photos from Georgia, Oman, China, The US (Colorado), Scotland, Denmark, and Norway.  After falling in love with my Sony A7RII, for 2019 I upgraded to a Sony A ..read more

Every year I post 100 of my favorite photos from the year’s travels.  Ordinarily, this post comes around the New Year. For 2018 I was a full year delayed due to issues with WordPress.

The tragedy and challenges of the current moment aside, it’s a fascinating period. Are we on the edge of a major paradigm shift?  Will things return to normal?  Is it the end of the world as we knew it over? A look through the headlines and the majority of conversations taking place suggest dire changes. Many also include exciting ideas and innovations—though many of these seem extremely impractical or unlikely to reach adoption due to unpleasant side effects. As a student of history and human behavior, travel blogger, adtech professional, and lazy futurist, I thought it would be an ..read more
