What It’s Like: To Have A Poisonous Cobra On Your Back in Varanasi India (Video)

March 6th, 2010 | 2 Comments »

Starring Down A CobraWe present the next in, a crowd favorite, our video series ‘What It’s Like’ (Raw, un-cut, unscripted videos showing you what it’s like). This video comes from my adventures on the streets of Varanasi, India, the holiest Hindu city in the world, a pilgrimage destination that houses one of the most eclectic collections of people in the world…including real snake charmers and poisonous cobras.

Where our paths last crossed: New Delhi, India

In past ‘Guest Traveler’ posts we’ve featured the writings of many (one of my favorite from Chen Luan in Shanghai), the videos of Davey Dance and the music of road warrior David Strackany (aka Paleo), now I’d like to share with you some guest travel photography from India.

Shikha and I met through a friend-of-a-friend-of-a-friend and our mutual interests in photography and creativity helped forge a quick friendship.

Traveling The Streets: Why Obama Deserves The Nobel Prize

October 10th, 2009 | 4 Comments »
It comes as a surprise for me to sit back and watch the reaction to the awarding of the The Nobel Peace Prize to President Obama. Not because I think he doesn't deserve it, but actually because I think he does.

Taken for a Ride – Part 1

February 9th, 2009 | 6 Comments »
The story of my epic overland journey from Kathmandu to New Delhi on a bus with 42 Nepalese men and a monk. It does a pretty good job of capturing what its like to travel alone and independently off-the-beaten tourist path and how travel can test your resolve and give you unmediated, face-to-face encounters with humanity.

It has nothing to do with my skills as a photographer, it has everything to do with the natural beauty of Tibet. It is impossible to truly capture the expansive grandeur of Tibet with a camera, but these photos are my humble, vain attempts to do just that.

The First American In China

November 5th, 2007 | 4 Comments »
After 9 hours on buses, taxis and a ferry boat, I stepped onto the beach of the small island of Jin Xua, China. I was, reportedly, the first American to ever visit the island’s small fishing village of 1,000 people, of which exactly none spoke English...

Marching for Democracy in China

July 28th, 2007 | 3 Comments »
When you wake up in the morning intent on joining a pro-democracy march in China, its one of those things that sounds impressive to brag home about. So, I put on my best fitting running shoes, protective long pants, and of course, grabbed my camera before heading out of the door. This is what I learned.
