January 2026, Cuba was hit with an oil embargo that stops all oil from entering the country… immediate impact will be no gasoline, power, etc. The blackouts were constant and one never knew when or for how long they would last. Along with other major inconveniences that would make it unbearable for most people, the…
The Color Moment… is a term I have always associated with San Miguel from the very first time I came there in the 1980’s for an assignment for Coca-Cola. And beginning in 2001, I have continually taught my workshop in this magical colonial town of cobblestone streets, quintessential architecture, cultural events, and of course, the…
It had been eight years since I was last in Portugal. From the get go, I have loved this country and it’s people. My first trip in 1971 wasn’t even planned but isn’t that the best way to stumble on a place? This trip would include many of the places we had been before but…
I have traveled to Cuba every year since 2012 (sometimes more than once a year). And, my last trip was in December of 2019, just before the pandemic. Little did I know (or anyone else) how that event would change everything. Five years later I made my return. As always, it was worth it. Cuba…

Finally in May of 2022 the opportunity…
In January of 2019, I made another trip to Cuba but this time it was a mini road trip. We began in Havana but then traveled throughout the countryside exploring cities and towns that we had not ventured too before. As always this tropical island continually produced wonderful imagery. And in an effort to keep…
In the fall of 2018, I co-led a group of photographers with George Nobechi of Nobechi Creative to Japan on our third tour… this one aptly named, The Color of Japan. New places provided new work and new experiences all of which we attempt to do each time we take a group to this magical…
