And all of a sudden, I landed in Sao Paulo
February 23, 2016
The entirety of the next few days was shot with a 28mm lens.
It’s been a while since I’ve shared stories of my journey through this increasingly complex ride down the river of life. I left you in the thick of the forests in Mysore, India, learning about the complex…

David and the 1,000 Steps of Chamundi
February 6, 2015
Outside of the temple in the Chamundi hills.
Is everything too easy? I mean, I often feel like every step is comfortable and every move is close. In our youth we learned of the struggles humans in the past had to face: harsh living conditions, endless work creating food sources…

The Eternal Light of Fort Kochi
January 10, 2015
The sun just refuses to leave.
There are a lot of things I try to do while traveling - but more generally in everyday life. I try to get myself into a headspace that is a mixed cocktail of wonder, curiosity, compassion and action. It’s hard to maintain that train…

The Keralan Backwaters
January 3, 2015
From trains to boats, the journey continues.

The best way to get around.
The majority of our trip was through the south of the Indian subcontinent. India is monumental - it is enormous and very diverse. Throughout my travel I learned that India is incredibly multicultural and ethnically diverse. 1961 census of India showed that there are…

The Black Taj Mahal
November 28, 2014
The Taj.
There are fewer things in the world harder to photograph than the Taj Mahal. Everyone knows what it looks like, and everyone’s seen this photo:
The classic Taj shot.
It’s ubiquitous, and it pervades culture throughout the world. So on the weary morning ride I was fretting about…

The Humans of New Delhi
November 26, 2014
Legions of people mosey through impossible to find spaces.
Beneath the crumbling and rising buildings, and in the alleys and throughways the humans of New Delhi populate the landscape in every dimension. They sit on roofs, they lay on floors, they drive TukTuks and sell spices; they beg for money…

New Delhi … and a little bit of Old Delhi
November 24, 2014
<p>There hovers the sun, a distinctly massive glowing orb in the Delhi sky - diffused by layers of thick grey haze. It hovers silently lighting the city’s cracks and alleys, both shining light and throwing darkness onto the people of New Delhi. I stepped into a world of scintillating smells…
