It’s been getting harder to find willing participants for my weekly photography interviews. I also haven’t had the same amount of time to commit to my blog, as I’ve been busy since returning home to Canada The good news is the big rush is coming to an end and hopefully I’ll have a new home [...]
After the 2011 Foundry Photojournalism Workshop in Buenos Aires, I took a week off. I barely looked at my email and I didn’t do any work. Instead, I went to Uruguay, walked around Buenos Aires, and visited family & friends. Unfortunately, that all adds up to a missing interview. Fortunately, I met lots of great [...]
A Night Amid the Stars This image was fun to make and it represents what my 52 Week: Go Outside and Explore project is all about: learning new techniques, getting out from behind my computer, and connecting with nature through adventure photography. It’s my favorite image in a few weeks and I hope it motivates [...]

Who Needs Waterproof Panniers When Adventure Cycling? After our week in Salta, it was finally time to climb back onto our warn Brooks Saddles and pedal south. Despite cloudy skies and the threat of rain, I found a different way to get wet. Leaving Salta, we thought we had 20 km of two-lane highway to [...]
A Rest From Riding After a peaceful stop in Humahuaca, we continued down the Quebrada to Tilcara and Purmamarca. While both towns are beautiful, they’ve both changed in their authenticity badge for a tourist-trap version. Even the artisan markets take Visa. We kept cycling south to Jujuy, across La Cornisa, to Salta. In Salta, known [...]
To Bolivia and Back After we coasted down the Cuesta del Portezuelo and landed in Catamarca, we decided we’d had enough headwinds for one bike tour.
