Trinity University Dublin’s famed Old Library Long Room
Earlier this summer I had the honor of being a panelist and presenter at MojoFest, a wildly impressive and inspiring conference about mobile journalism in Galway, Ireland. I was excited to meet a few of my social media friends in real life. Much thanks to Brendan O Se, the award-winning Cork-based photographer who was in charge of arranging the mobile photography panel, for including me.
Boxer with mouth guard
This spring I went to Cuba on a People to People Cultural trip led by my friend, photographer Ralph Velasco. Ralph runs Photo Enrichment Adventures and this was his 17th trip to the Caribbean island. Ralph is a great tour leader and I jumped at the chance to explore Havana and the Viñales with him, knowing he’d have a great itinerary planned.
Sunrise fishing
Ukraine isn’t a particularly popular tourist destination, although it has a plenty of wonderful sights- like the Black Sea coast with sandy beaches and great local wineries, and the Carpathian Mountains with their striking natural scenery and beautiful small villages.
1st Place Travel Category
I was thrilled to learn this morning that my image Snow + Fishing Cottages = Win won 1st Place the Travel category of the 2017 iPhone Photography Awards (IPPAs). I took this image in February in Norway and it is one of my personal favorites, so I am excited it may find a new audience. After perusing the gallery of winning images I am humbled and honored have my photograph included in this mix of truly amazing shots.
White on white landscape in Norway’s Lofoten Islands
I’m currently in the middle of a week long photo workshop in Norway’s Lofoten Islands. I visited this spot back in October and truly loved it. It’s a winter wonderland in late February. I wanted to share this cloud lapse video I made so you could get a sense of the beauty of this special Scandinavian spot.
