Bosnia’s one of those countries you just never feel warm and comfy in, so we didn’t stay too long. But on our way out of the country by car, we were still looking for interesting shots of the culture…and this lady was perfect. She was gathering wood just outside her meager home in war-torn northwest…

GPS is Not Enough When I saw our pilot pulling seats out of the plane, as well as emptying some of the fuel, I realized weight must be a major consideration. Okay, so how many batteries and tapes do we really need to bring? Renaldo, our Brazilian bush pilot, had been flying in this region…

I had just joined Reel Productions and was going along to assist on a local outdoor shoot. I don’t want to brag, but I know the finished product would not have been the quality it turned out to be had I not been there, doing important things like sheep rustling, keeping the star-struck llama out of…

After arriving in the ancient city of Axum, Ethiopia, we checked into the YeHa (“Yee Haw!”) hotel. We dropped off our gear and went straight to the marketplace where we immediately met the town’s children/salesmen. They have all kinds of useful things to sell like porcupine quills and rocks…(hmmm…) As no one on our crew…

“The Sighting” We squinted our eyes as we stepped off the escalator leading up from the subway in downtown Paris, France. Yet again, it was my esteemed colleague Bryan and I looking for cultural shots in the most romantic city on earth together. Whoopdeedo. “But the subway sign said this was our stop.” “Yeah, but…

We deserved a break that day! Having lived in Amsterdam for several years, I wanted to show Dave, my colleague, some of the sights and a few of my favorite eating establishments. We were midway through a twenty day, seven country intensive shoot schedule and were in definite need of a break. The first restaurant…

Riot in India We had just spent two weeks in Russia in freezing cold weather and now found ourselves on a plane heading for Bombay, India, and its 100-degree sweltering heat. Now, my partner Bryan and I are no thrill seekers, but what lay ahead of us on this trip could be characterized as nothing…

Lion Bait It’s necessary to lay the cameras down from time to time. It’s especially necessary when you’re on the back of a Honda dirtbike in the remote Masai region of southern Kenya. It was our last day there. We’d seen rhinos, giraffes, elephants, zebras, and herds of other wild animals. But we hadn’t seen…

“Bryan, come here and take our picture.” Border crossings between Hungary and Romania are supposed to take a long time. It takes awhile to search a car and interrogate its driver. They never know if they’ll find forbidden guns, pornography, or bibles. This time, however, the border guards wanted photos taken of us arm and…
