A photo & travel blog with a difference: Instead of strict focus on photo how-to, gear and the like, I'll pass on knowledge about the places and cultures photographed. I believe the more deeply you come to know a place, the better your pictures will be.
My past careers as science teacher and geologist mean that I can't help but teach about the natural history of photogenic places around the world. But photography is not forgotten. You'll also see practical tips about where and how to photograph the destinations. And once a week, Friday Foto Talk gives photography tips and how-to on a selected topic, for novices on up to expert.
What you won't find here is endless discussion about me braving dangerous weather, terrain or wild animals to get the shot. Nor will there be cheerleading gear talk or marketing pitches. I promise to leave that to other blogs, of which there are many.

Beautiful capture.
Thanks a bunch!
Perfect lighting.
Thanks Mike!
The lighting in this shot is great.
What a beauty she is! Great portrait.
That’s a beauty in both capture and subject..light in this makes her even more a lady 🙂
Thank you very much! I actually did not think much of this capture at first.
Great photograph, handsome horse and good title.
Thank you Mary.
That’s a good crop to add effect. I’m often challenged when I’m trying to figure out where to cut of the body and not seem like a harsh edge.
Thanks Lyle. Yeah I just went with the easy thing here, rule of thirds. Also she was very relaxed so her ears were looking too floppy.
Gorgeous subject and take!
Thanks Paula. She’s a diva but she’s my diva!
I wondered if she was yours :).
