Category Archives: All Travels There is nothing quite like the captivating colors, sounds, and aromas of Oaxaca. When you travel here, it feels like being in a whole different country within Mexico. To start off, Oaxacan cuisine is quite different from other regions of Mexico. When was the last time you went into a Mexican restaurant and saw these on […] 
 When you climb the rooftops around LA, you get some pretty nice vistas. This was taken from a parking lot in Chinatown. As I was waiting for the sun to set, a slow fog began to encroach engulfing the downtown skyline. Just when I thought all was lost, it opened up momentarily and I was […]
 I was up pretty early to catch the sunrise along the famed malecon (seawall) of Havana. I rose about an hour before dawn and made my way along the malecon while the waves crashed mightily against the rocks. After I finished taking photos of the sunrise I turned to leave and loved the scene that […]
 I previously posted about the castle that sits up on a hill in the middle of Mexico City. Among the many attractions of Chapultepec Castle are the lovely gardens in one of the open patios. This is the tower that at one time served as an observatory and also a lookout point for invading armies. […]
 One of the sad aspects of traveling is coming face to face with the poverty in many regions of the world and the people who live with it on a daily basis. I recall one night in a subway in Paris where a beautiful sad voice was echoing through the underground tunnels. As I kept […]
 The redwood trees in Northern California are so immense they will make you dizzy if you stare at them to long. If you have ever walked around New York City while looking up at the skyscrapers, it’s pretty much the same feeling. And there are probably more Redwood trees here than there are skyscrapers in […]
 There was a bright full moon over the beach in Playacar, Mexico and I just had to stop and take some photos. The colors of the water are constantly shifting between different hues of blue & aqua. I played around with a long exposure not sure of what the result would be. I was hoping […]
 Just another ho-hum evening in Southern California. I have mentioned it before, but if you have never visited LA, forget about visiting Hollywood or the expensive amusement parks. The Griffith Observatory should be the first destination on your list. From here, you can enjoy sweeping views of LA that extend from the downtown skyline all […]
 Centuries before the Aztecs ruled Mexico at Tenochtitlan, there was another ancient city that rose up with temples and pyramids that extended to the stars. The grand city of Teotihuacán emerged on the outskirts of what is now Mexico City beginning in the 1st Century AD and reaching its peak in the 7th Century AD. […]
 I was in San Diego to take a post-processing class with a photographer whose work I have long admired, Elia Locardi. I learned some great Photoshopping techniques which I plan to implement from now on in my workflow. Check out his awesome work over at his web site: Blame The Monkey. After class, I headed over to nearby […]
