Invited by photographers Scott Kelby and Mimo Meidany, I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to be among a small group shooting in Venice, despite the 12-hour time difference and the fact that I spent as much time getting there and back as being there.

The investment in infrastructure has payed off handsomely, since they created the first bike lane in 1892! Today, year-round, 50% of all trips to work and school in Copenhagen are taken by bike.
Read MoreWhen I joined seven other photographers for a four-day experience in New Mexico led by Muench Workshop expert instructors Wayne Suggs and Pam Dorner, it was January and the temperature was in the teens.

Read MoreThe Liljestrand House, on Tantalus Drive in Honolulu, is an outstanding example of architect Vladimir Ossipoff’s work and of mid-twentieth century Hawaiian modern architecture. His iconic design is known for seamless integration of building and site, clever management of views, and a creative mix of modern and natural materials.
While this house has been photographed by dozens of professionals and thousands of visitors, it was my aim to capture its timeless allure, accentuated by the later afternoon light and shadows that lead the viewer into the scene.
Read MoreA native of Kyoto, Dr. Genshitsu Sen is the 15th-generation Grand Master (Iemoto) of Urasenke, which is one of the most widely-known schools of Japanese tea.

He credits his health and longevity to a daily dose of green tea.
Read MoreRecently, I was summoned to Italy by Scott Kelby and Mimo Meidany – both well-known shooters and excellent instructors – to attend their 10-person travel photography workshop. Toscana was, in a word, bellissima.

Read MoreDuring a portraiture workship in Brooklyn last year, I was fortunate enough to spent a good part of it with Tyler, an extraordinarily photogenic young man. This image of him was my favorite; it’s that moment between poses —the pause—that somehow reveals a soul, in a quiet way.
Read MoreThe couple in “Waimanalo Gothic” are actually dear family friends.
When they told us they were engaged to be married, I jumped at the chance to memorialize this milestone. I love that their playfulness emerges without even a hint of a grin in this formal composition.
