I fell in love with Morocco last year when I first visited. It’s a wonderful country rich in culture and traditions. So when I knew I was coming back for a second tour, I truly got excited. There were some places that I wanted to go back to, and had some images in mind that…

One Photo | Palazzo Il Vecchio in Florence, Italy
This photo was the result of a short stopover in Florence. I was on my way from Venice to photograph villages, and the rolling hills of Tuscany and the “Cradle of the Renaissance” were on the route. Needless to say, I wanted to stop at least for a bit and try to see and photograph…
Announcing Photo Tour to Myanmar
Hearted people, ancient traditions, and golden pagodas, all convey in Myanmar. Better know as Burma or the Golden Land, this corner of South East Asia allure all senses. Anyone interested in getting to know and experience South-Eastern Asia’s people and culture should visit Myanmar now. Myanmar is going through a wake of political and economic reforms, and…
Myanmar 4 Years Later | Photos
A pleasurable aroma of burnt incense fills the chill of a clear blue night. A myriad of brightly lit candles illuminate pathways and the hundreds of beloved figures around the gigantic stupa; covered with millions of tiny squares of gold leaf, it glitters. Devotees roam around and pray. It’s all familiar to me. I am…
The Fuji GFX 50s as a Travel Camera | Thoughts from the Field
A Convert to Fuji I am just back from a scouting trip in Myanmar for a future tour I am co-leading for Digital Photo Mentor; this marks my last trip of the year and over six months spent shooting with the Fuji GFX 50s Mirrorless Medium Format Camera. Mainly for travel – in this…
Fez in Photos | Morocco
I can barely fit. Still, I move forward and follow our guide; we are roaming through medieval alleyways and corridors. At times the maze of winding ways becomes dense, dark and narrow, almost crushing, so tight that only one person can walk at one time. It’s hard to imagine and describe, but to this day…
Around Rabat in Morocco | Photos
A couple of weeks ago I shared some photos from Chefchaouen, an enchanting little city. We got there driving from Casablanca, during the 2017 Digital Photo Mentor Moroccan tour. It’s a long journey, but interesting, and of course we made some stops on the road, to photograph some iconic and well-known places around Rabat. The…
Casablanca to Chefchaouen via Rabat | Photos
It was a long day of touring from Casablanca; the route was curvy, passing Rabat, some small villages, and some mountainscapes. Our guide announced that we would make a 15-minute stop in a scenic spot. We went down, crossed the road, and there she was, perched beneath the Rif mountains, surrounded by high peaks: the…
Jodhpur in Photos | India
The mighty fog awakens a sea of blue rooftops. It is past seven a.m., and the day-star is already high in the “Sun City.” The mist is so dense that I barely notice it, but I am having chai on the terrace of a restaurant and enjoying photographing panoramas of the city below. This is…
Casablanca in Photos | Morocco Photo Tour
A modern city, a mythical kingdom, Casablanca is not as evocative as other cities in the country; still, for someone like me visiting the nation for the first time, it’s an essential place to explore. I was here as the co-leader of the 2017 Digital Photo Mentor Morocco Photo Tour; as such, I wanted to be here…
Udaipur in Photos | India
Known for its history, culture, scenic locations and the Rajput-era palaces, the city of Udaipur really amazes. It’s a totally different scene from the other cities I’ve been visiting in India. Surrounded by lakes and secluded palaces, it feels rich and prosperous. The palaces are incredible. The old town is full of small alleyways and…
Morocco in Photos | Highlights and Photo Tour
First, the honest truth, I’d never thought about visiting Morocco, and I’m not sure why. I mean, I covet a big list of “must do” or “I’d love to see” places, and Morocco was on none of those. It wasn’t until I received a call from Darlene Hildebrandt of Digital Photo Mentor with an invitation…
