Writer

Jack London, Ernest Hemingway, and Mark Twain, were required reading in school. I keep reading them today. A popular advice given to new writers resonates with me. It says “If you struggle to write about interesting things – put down your pen, and go do interesting things.” I just hope I remember to pick up the pen again later…
It’s 3 a.m. and I’m the last fare for the red eyed party town tuk-tuk driver. Our destination is 45 min away and under the full moon we ride towards the the temples of Angkor Wat (Cambodia) for a sunrise. The muslim prayers from a thousand men and women begin to echo in unison across the ponds as the first rays of sunlight break over the top of the jungle…

It seems I enjoy moving as much as living. I’m back on the western side of the Mississippi again. Back at 7000′ elevation where the aspens grow green in late spring, the elk bugle late fall, and the snow piles up a few months each winter. It’s good for my soul and certainly my health. I’m a 4 seasons kind of guy. And, after living as far north as Alaska, east along the beaches of Virginia, and down south just an hour from Mexico I think I’ve found home. Sometimes you just need to see for yourself – and you’ll know it when you find it.

A few stops along the way…

The powerfully spiced foods, the unabashidly boisterous music, and saturated colors that drip off the scenery nearly over stimulated my senses! Subtlety is not a concept practiced here.

From accidentally arriving in Harlem after dark, to my AirBnB's "not so sure about this part of town" vibe, to trekking across Central Park in the morning fog with hardly a person around...

American West

You can't help but think about the American West Landscape when the words "road trip" are whispered... her open roads, fresh air, and beauty beckon to the hearts of everyone at some point.

I was using film, and I was dangerously close to firing blanks with this particular roll. Thankfully, the bird jumped on her shoulder and started playing with her hair. In that split second I ...

The sheet of water falling from the sky was heading straight for me. On one hand it made for a beautifully layered image with the distant mountains, on the other, I knew it was going to cost me my dignity as I sloshed back through the campground to my truck. On lookers from under their protective tarps and rv awnings looked on at me with sympathy. Little did they know I happily paid the price for the image captured.
