After shooting many rock concerts, it was a special and exciting job for me to accompany Jamie Cullum on his promotional tour for his new album “Momentum.” I had backstage access with him and his band in Cologne, Berlin, Amsterdam and Paris.

The romantic districts and glorious museums of Paris, the booming economy and ethnic energy of London, but what about Brussels? Capital of Europe? Flemish and Walloon tension? Beer? Waffles? Definitely not the capital of sunshine. In the shadow of its bigger, more outwardly impressive sisters, Brussels continues along as a quieter and largely unknown city, [...]

I am originally from the West Coast, so bodegas were a strange and curious thing to me. Entering my local corner store is like being transported to another country: the smells, [...]
I could use the new Leica M camera with a few special lenses all day. To try it out, I had the world’s best standard lens, the Leica APO-Summicron-M 50 mm f/2 ASPH. and the super bright Noctilux-M 50 mm f/0.95 ASPH. To try the new Live View focusing capability of the camera, I got [...]

We are born on Earth… We press the shutter… We look at the pictures… Photo remains after we have died and The same applies to these photos. After the water has fallen, After the car and man has passed, After the icicle fell. 私は ひとり遊びが好き. 写真は 私にとっての ひとり遊び. 前 瞬間 後… それらは私に 無限の想像力を与えてくれる。 そして 私の喜びは あなたと共有する事で頂点に達する. I like to play lonely games, [...]

My work for Orion Expeditions takes me to some genuinely exotic parts of the world. My last Leica Blog post about Eastern Russia is a good example of that. Back when I first started shooting with the S2 I was conducting a photography workshop on board the ship as part of a visit to Papua [...]
For many years I carried around a huge backpack loaded with lots of things that I “might need.” The problem with this is that even the smallest bag or pack has the ability to act like Grannie’s magic handbag and can hold an incredible amount of “stuff.” The sides can be stretched, dividers cut, bent, [...]
Last year on an assignment for Facebook Stories I had the opportunity to travel to the small town of Iqaluit, the capital of the Nunavut territory in Arctic Canada. The population of Iqaluit is very low, about 7,000 people – 60% of whom are ethnically Inuit. The town is quiet, small, the community is tightly [...]
