Monk in the light A monk kneels in solitude deep within Tham Poukham Cave. One of my all-time favourite photos.

The sun rising over Bagan, Myanmar. Bagan is situated in the dusty central plains of Myanmar, and is arguably one of the worlds most mesmerising sites. In the small area of Bagan Archaeological Zone, there are approximately 2,200 temples. Yes, absolutely astonishing! Though from the 9th to 13th century when Bagan was the capital of the Kingdom of Pagan. During it’s reign, the area housed over 10,000 Buddhist temples, pagodas and...

Pak Ou Caves in northern Laos is located 25 kilometers from it’s closest city Luang Prabang. It is revered to be one of the most holiest sites in Laos, resulting in grand pilgrimages from all corners of the country. The caves are famous for their hundreds of Buddha sculptures, and the amazing view that overlooks the Mekong River. The photographs below I took from the local village. The sun had just set and the sky was lighting up a...

30 kilometres south of Luang Prabang in northern Laos, enshrouded in the jungle is a beautiful cascade of small waterfalls and dozens upon dozens of bright turquoise lagoons, called Tat Kuang Si. Consisting of many different levels, the upper begins as a huge 60m waterfall broken up by large golden coloured boulders. This then disperses throughout thick enshrined jungle in which the sun penetrates only occasionally to lighten up the many...

Far up in northern Thailand lays the little town of Sukhothai, which is home to some of Thailand’s best preserved ruins. The world heritage site and historical park of Sukhothai, covers approximately 70 square kilometres of land, encompassing 193 ruins that consist of palaces and temples. Some of which are amazingly preserved. Sukhothai is pretty dusty and can be extremely hot depending on the time of year. However the 6 – 7 hour...

Hey all, I know it’s been quite a while since I’ve last posted. But what can I say – I’m enjoying myself :-) Good news though, I haven’t been completely unproductive in the photography world. My NEX-7′s shutter has been working overtime, and taken several thousand photographs in which I’ve post processed the majority. It’s just getting them online that’s the hard part. So for now here are...

On the latter end of my long haul cycle across Europe last winter, I made sure I took the detour to visit Turkey before returning to Australia. What a fantastic decision that was. Having a little bit of an idea of what to expect, I was not disappointed. Heading straight into Istanbul that spans both the European and Asian continental division, I was immediately awash with culture, gorgeous architecture, busy streets and let’s be honest...

With the new wave of full-frame sensor cameras that have recently hit the market, I was thinking about upgrading from the Canon EOS 7D that I travelled through Europe and backpacked northern Africa and the Middle-East with, and get my hands on the new Canon EOS 5D mark III. A magnificent, but heavy beast with the body alone coming in at 1kg. With the addition of 3 lenses, tripod and other photography equipment that I’d be taking, my...

I really don’t mind sounding like a broken record on this subject, so I’m going to say this with a grin… “Here I go again!” Yep, I have in my grasp another one-way ticket! My first one-way passage sent me barrelling into Latin America in 2007/2008; the second to North Africa and the Middle-East for 2010; my third was recently when I froze my ass off cycling across the European continent, and now this ticket in my hand...

DAY 1 Well it started off getting picked up in traditional Latin American style – late, and driven to the take off point in Santa Marta where we finished the formalities and squeezed in the back of a 4WD jeep and headed off. There were 2 Jeep’s in the convoy with 5-6 of us in each.  Our packs roped up on the roof, we all were instantly bonding as we bounced around the backstreet’s exiting Santa Marta.  30 minutes later...

The highest city in the world, Potosi, Bovliai. At an altitude of 4,100 metres, Potosi is well known for its silver ore that’s mined daily by indigenous miners that work in the most abysmal conditions imaginable. Once a worker comences work in these mines they basically have a decade left to live due to lung disease that forms due to the arsenic and asbestos that’s riddled throughout the mine. Purchase...

Trekking high up in the Cordillera Blanca, my porter that is carrying 6x more weight than any of us just keep keeping on. Far more mightier than any of us.

In the middle of the Salar de Uyuni (Salt flats of Uyuni), lays a small island full of Cactus that are hundreds of years old and stand several metres high. This photo is taken from the highest point of the island, looking out across the mesmerising alien like environment that lay in front of me. Purchase...

Many indigenous locals live on the islands in the worlds highest lake, Lake Titicaca. Here they grown corn, and live off small patches of land where they farm cattle. This photos is of children running and playing amongst the mornings...

Life in Iquitos can get pretty rough in outer Iquitos where land is lost for nearly half a year as the Amazon floods. Their houses (built on wooden logs) float, with decaying planks of wood and canoes being the only way to move...

On the slopes of Machu Picchu, looking back towards the terraces of the once thriving lost Kingdom of the Incas. Purchase...

The sun rising over the Salar de Uyuni, in western Bolivia. Over 14,000 square kilometres of salt lake that floods for 6 months of the year. As the sun peers over the horizon, the hexagonal salt crystals light up bright red, illuminating all around us. Absolutely Beautiful. Purchase...

The heart of Iguazu Falls – the “Devils Throat”! Here in the wet season, over forty million litres per second can fall here. Creating a thundering roar from miles away. A mesmerizing site. Purchase...

Iguazu Falls. One of the worlds most magnificent waterfalls that stretch kilometres on the Argentina/Brazil border. You’ll spend all day going from one spectacular view to another. Purchase...

On the west coast of the Peruvian desert is a little town called Huanchaco. Possibly home to the very first surfers on the planet (that scooted back in after a days fishing on their Caballitos de Totora), approximately 3,000 years ago. Long before it was even dreamt of in...
