Coron in Pictures – Leaving our Worries Behind

Lots of isolated beaches.

We had no idea what would be waiting for us in Coron, our first stop in Palawan, Philippines. What we found was the joy in living. View the slideshow…

Weekly Photo Challenge: DREAMING

I usually only select one picture for the Weekly Photo Challenge but this week’s theme seemed appropriate for two. 

Weekly Photo Challenge: MOVEMENT

Welcome to Cape Spear, Newfoundland, the most easterly point in North America. 

Photos from the Shoebox: Kovalam Beach, India, 1991

If you had a 35mm camera you probably have a shoebox full of pictures that you never got around to sorting and putting in an album. In this series “Photos from the Shoebox” I take them out of the closest and shine light on them once more.

Sagara ’91

My shoebox of photos sits under my desk. Lately, it’s been calling me. I know I’ve neglected it so I guess it’s about time to let a few of the photos out again. Back in the 90′s it was easy to detach yourself from everyday life. You could traipse half way around the world and lose yourself in adventure without distraction of the internet, e-mail or text. 

Weekly Photo Challenge: FLEETING MOMENT

We will always have Paris. 

Weekly Photo Challenge: CLOSE

You’re probably wondering why I have a picture of a van for this week’s Photo Challenge.

Photos from the Shoebox: Philippines – June 12, 1998

If you had a 35mm camera you probably have a shoebox full of pictures that you never got around to sorting and putting in an album. In this series “Photos from the Shoebox” I take them out of the closest and shine light on them once more.

The Grandstand.

Today is Philippines Independence Day so I thought I’d share my photos from June 12, 1998 when the Philippines celebrated its 100th year of independence from Spain. There was a big celebration in Manila so we started the day early knowing we’d be competing with millions of people wanting to get a good spot for the parade.
