The First Obama Inauguration in Burma
Four years ago today I had the great good fortune to be on assignment in Mandalay as part of This Day of Change. The project documented what the world did on the day the United States inaugurated Barack Obama – a globally significant change of government no matter how you feel about the the guy in [...]
What Does a River Look Like?
Photos from my continuing project on the Rio Grande. You can see more in the scrolling gallery on the front of my site.
UXO in Gastronomica
File under: Better late than never This was in the Winter 2011 issue of Gastronomica magazine, a wonderfully produced and thoughtful publication about food, in all its permutations. Thought you might like it. If you do (or even if you only think you do), go get yourself a copy.
East Timor
It seems like it has taken a couple of days short of forever, but I am nearly done gathering and preparing photos for Karen’s upcoming book of Asian travel stories. It’s a pretty darned good book, If I do say so myself. She (and apparently I) covered a lot of ground in the last 14 [...]
Rio Bravo, Rio Grande
About a year ago I began a project photographing the Rio Grande, the not-so-grand-or-wild river that runs near my house south of Albuquerque. It’s polluted, it’s smelly, and it’s over-utilized, in political lingo (i.e. there’s often not a lot of water in it). The river’s traditional Spanish name, Rio Bravo (Wild or Brave River) [...]
Bali Kite Festival
Here is a photo I have always liked, but haven’t had a reason to scan it in until now (a SE Asian travel magazine just bought the story) These kites are like hawks: ungainly on land, powerful and fast in the air. They can easily lift 2-3 men off the ground in strong winds, which [...]
Nicest Guesthouse Ever
Photo from a book project containing 10 years of Karen’s travel writing from all over: Hard beds, no hot water, mosquitoes, ten feet from the high-tide mark, no other guests, amazing fish every day, unbeatable snorkeling. Thought of putting a link to the place in there, but no. It’s no longer under the same management [...]
Back to Bali
For the last couple of weeks I have been combing older photos for use in Karen’s upcoming book of travel writing. This is from Bali, in 2002. It’s a photo I’ve always loved, partially because I came across the beach procession completely by accident, partially because I think it’s a good photo.
Burma/Closer
I am finally getting a handle on scanning and working up a series of big, close-up portraits I took when we were last in Burma. It’s all on 6×6 film, which seems great fun to use until I have to scan it in and work on it. But the files are huge, the details crisp, [...]
Child Labor in Cambodia
Tuamada – It’s Normal There is nothing special in this exhibit; nothing special about the kids in the photos. There is nothing particularly special about me, or the equipment I used. The pictures, the kids, the camera, the photographer; all are pretty normal. For the kids, that can be unfortunate. The idea for this exhibit [...]
Review Review Santa Santa Fe Fe
So I went to Review Santa Fe, with two projects (An Eternal Harvest and Be Unscared), and received pretty phenomenal reactions from the various editors, gallery owners and art buyers I met. While no one immediately bought anything, at least a few of the leads should end up as gallery shows, or as parts of [...]
