We bought this car on a whim in 1993 and it served us well for 20 years. When we retired it, we bought a beautiful 2000 model, but it just wasn’t the same, so we sold it. I like this infrared shot because it looks like the car is part of the earth beneath its […]

Leela in England. If there’s any story here, it’s that my heels are hanging over the edge of the platform as I try to get far enough back to frame this properly.

Of all the infrared photos I’ve taken, this is perhaps my favorite. The charm of infrared photography is that it lets you see things in a different light: people look a bit alien, clouds become dramatic, foliage turns white … as this colorful lotus with its green leaves did. To see lotuses in color, you […]

Or medinilla magnifica from Java and the Philippines. This one lives at the Penang Hill Hotel and if you open this post, you’ll find a small family of them.  

A 14mm lens is an interesting way to capture a great deal of the lift you’re in. This first image is from the inside of a round lift, and the next photo is from the outside.

If you consider the Apple Store to be heaven, that is.

Sort of clockwise from left: iPad, iPhone in JBL speaker/charger, MacBook Pro on Rain aluminum stand, Nikko teacup, Okion USB hub, Toolbar vacuum flask with Chinese tea, clock given to me by Leela in celebration of our monthly anniversary on 3 May 1996 (we met on 3 January 1992), LaCie 4TB Thunderbolt hard drive, Magic […]

Ok, so I wrote on one of my photos, but it seemed appropriate at the time. After looking at the brands available in Hong Kong and checking their credentials online, we decided on Frenz eggs from New Zealand. We know there are legal discrepancies in what “free-range” means, so we just looked at what free-range […]

Photographed through the glass and into the glass on the 10th floor of Hysan Place in Causeway Bay, Hong Kong.

Leela and I were walking down a narrow path in Shimla and darkness was falling fast. I love markets and they were just on either side of the path, so I put on a 14mm lens and increased the ISO and shutter speed … because we were walking, not stopping and framing and gently pressing […]

It’s catching them that’s the problem.

Thanks to Leela, we have papaya trees on our terrace. This particular tree grew so tall that we could no longer easily harvest the fruit so we left it to the birds. They poke a hole into the fruit with their beaks and then eat for several days before the fruit falls to the ground […]

Some of the best photos for me are the ones that simply present themselves. You’re sitting in a post-production house waiting to be called into the recording studio and you look up and there’s your photo — all you have to do press the shutter. Later, when you look at it, you’re pleased that Touches, […]

Seeing this young lad confronting the world face-to-face makes me wonder who I might have been had I not been pushed around the park in a pram lying on my back staring at the sky, nibbling my toes and seeing people only when they loomed in for a grinning gape or a tummy tickle. What […]

Penang has quite a bit of public art and it’s always a treat to round a corner and find a new one. We were just a few minutes late for this one, however; there was a family of five taking photos of all three children posing with the wall painting. So we waited … and […]

This was the original image on my website … an insightful dog. (I’m a Dog in Chinese astrology and that’s a real replacement human eye.) Now that I’ve changed the website, my first thought was to give him a home of his own … my first post.
