Travel Challenge Day Seven: Faces

January 16th, 2021 Happy Saturday! Travel Challenge Day Seven takes us to the U.S. I captured the photo above while at the Great Reno Balloon Race way back in 2011. As I learned while I was there, handlers stand around the balloons while they’re inflated to make sure nothing gets in the way or impedes the process since the pilot

Travel Challenge Day Six: Oman

January 15th, 2021 Travel Challenge Day Six takes us to Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque in Oman! Contrary to the challenge, I’m finding it really hard to not explain why the selected shots are my favorites. 🙂 I love this photograph because this family walked into frame at just the right moment, providing more context for the location.

Marrakech Memories

January 9th, 2021 Wrapping up our virtual tour of Morocco, today we’re exploring Marrakech through a handful of old photographs. I captured these images on a trip in 2007 — back when you could order a CD of the images from your camera. Remember those days? The early technology shows in the grainy quality of the images but somehow it

Plage Malabata

January 8th, 2021 We’ve completed a full circle tour of Northern Morocco, from Tangier to Asilah to Fez to Chefchaouen and back to Tangier. Before we depart the region, I thought I’d share some photos of the coastline. From the port in Tangier, a beautiful wide beach called Plage Malabata circles east, bordered by a promenade — a fantastic place
