It’s no secret I love doing photography. Talk about a big duh, right? Doing photography underwater is a bit more of a challenge, though. Yeah, you have that whole breathing underwater thing, but that’s really relatively easy. Buoyancy can make it a challenge sometimes, too. And those damn fish tend to not want to sit …

This is the turtle release. The baby turtles rush to the water to survive. These were premature.

A few years ago, shortly after Tigger’s adoption became final, Thanksgiving was upon us. Usually we had a house full of friends, but that year people had other plans, needed to spend time with their own families, etc.,and so we ended up just having a very small dinner at home with one of my coworkers. …

While Cozumel, Mexico, is an island, the more inhabited side does not have as much of an easy access to the beach. The western side is fringed with reef which means little to no waves, and popular swimming areas are also full of all sizes of rocks. The southern beach areas are filled with resorts …

Just over a year ago we visited the famous Chichen Itza ruins outside of Valladolid, Mexico. The constructions are really quite amazing when you consider the lack of technology compared to today. I’ll be writing more about our visit there, along with tips you won’t want to miss if you’re planning on going there, but …

I fell in love with riding the metro while in Paris several years ago. While visiting a friend in Virginia, I had the opportunity to go to Washington, DC, and we rode the metro while touring America’s capitol. I loved the energy and vibe as well as the performers. I was a bit nervous taking …

You probably remember that in mid-June we endured 30 hours of bus rides to go from Olón, Ecuador, to Lima, Peru. Both of us were dreading the ride. I was probably even more reluctant than Tigger since our last really long bus ride was a very rough experience. The ride felt a little less daunting, …

I’ve had a longtime love affair with Alaska even though I had never been there before a few years ago. Every so often I get in an Alaska frame of mind and have to go through pictures from my last visit. It is one of the few places I’ve visited where I felt like I …

Ever since we began our journey, Tigger has been gung-ho to take surfing lessons. Cozumel’s waves were great for body surfing and Boogie boarding, but that was about it. Utila . . . stick with diving there. So once we were in Ecuador and I discovered their coast had good surfing, we headed there to …

We came to this area for Tigger to take some surfing lessons. We “discovered” this little beach town (Olón) while staying at a nearby resort and immediately fell in love with it and moved there after our stay at the resort was done. Tigger and I both agreed this town has made it onto our list …
