Why? To get some photos out there without using facebook. Also, please note, these photos are low resolution versions. Generally speaking, I am completely willing to share hi-res versions free of charge, as long as I am credited and they are not sold or otherwise used to make money. Just send me an email.

Slovenia by iPhone Summer, 2025
Recently, I was in market for a new phone and a new underwater camera. In the end I decided to buy an iPhone 16 pro and scuba housing. I don’t dive enough to need a camera strictly for diving and the housing I bought is rated to 130 feet. I started my photo habit on… Read more

Angkor Wat and around in B&W 13°24’46.8″N 103°51’56.6″E January 2024
Just like the color shots, it was hard to choose and B&W does so much for structure.

Angkor Wat and around in color 13°24’46.8″N 103°51’56.6″E January 2024
My family and I have been fortunate to be able to see a lot of the world. Angkor Wat and the surrounding temples were about the most impressive place I have been. I would love to go back. I took about 2,000 photos there and it was hard to pick which photos to post. I hope you… Read more

Hồ Chí Minh 10°46’17.2″N 106°41’54.4″E December, 2023
Saigon that was, was as busy Hanoi but much more vibrant. It was not at all what I thought it would be like.
-
Hà Nội 12/2023-1/2024, 21°01’39.2″N 105°51’08.7″E
I was impressed with Hanoi. Saying it was busy would be an understatement. And the color could be overwhelming. Also, bikes. Lots of bikes.

Ha Long Bay, 12/2023 20.724258, 107.049399
We ended up staying in and around Cat Ba Island for about 5 days. It was wonderful. I took more photos than one would believe possible. Here are a couple but it hurt not to include a lot more.

Tiny Slovenia June/July 2023
I know it’s a little country but here are some shots of small things in Slovenia that I sometimes walk right by. Also, I have no idea what kind of flowers/insects/gastropod/amphibian any of these are.

Big Slovenia! June/July 2023
The Schlinks hit up Slovenia for about three weeks this summer. I took a lot of photos. Think about how much that might be and, double it. So I decided to do a few posts categorized by how big the subjects were, here are the big ones!

The Aral Sea, October, 2021 44°52’46.3″N 58°11’29.3″E
The Aral Sea used to be the 4th largest freshwater lake in the world. There is not a lot left and is, is so salty only a certain species of tiny shrimp actually live, allegedly (I did not see any). What’s left starkly beautiful, if tragic. In some ways it reminded me of the Etosha… Read more

The Maldives, under the water, 5°14’12.5″N 73°06’27.5″E July, 2021
I have never done much underwater photography and bought an Olympus T6 (somewhere between what I am used to using and a point and shoot). I got better as time went by but still need practice.

Bukhara in Black and White, March 2021 39°46’22.2″N 64°25’11.8″E
In both Samarkand and Bukhara (and I suspect in Khiva) I was overwhelmed with both color and structure/texture. B&W is way better for showing off the later and check out the previous post for color.

Photos that did not make the cut. All over the place, 2020
I lug my camera and assorted equipment all over the place and take thousands of photos a year (counting on the law of averages to get some keepers). Here are some photos that did not make the cut in 2020. In the mean time, please check in from time to time. I have a good… Read more

Samarkand (and around) Thanksgiving, 2020 39°39’17.6″N 66°58’32.3″E-ish
We just returned from our first trip Samarkand-there will be more- and it completely lived up to its billing. So much so, that I had trouble fitting everything I wanted into any given shot. As such I used a fisheye lens with 180 degrees worth of visibility (every now and then I accidentally include my… Read more

More of Tashkent in Black and White November, 2020 41°19’05.7″N 69°16’09.8″E
Last weekend we got snow here in Tashkent, which I am told is not normal. we took advantage to go out into the city and take a long winter walk. We will go to Samarkand soon, and there will be color! But in the mean time, Winter lends itself nicely to B&W.

Tian Shan-ish Halloween 2020 41°24’35.2″N 69°51’58.5″E
This was our first (of many) trips outside of Tashkent. We headed to the mountains to climb an extinct volcano. Mostly, these are landscape shots without the best light but just to get the feel of the terrain was wonderful. We were on the very edge of the Tian Shan range and can’t wait to… Read more

Kolmannskuppe, October, 2017 26°42’14.0″S 15°13’58.2″E
Kolmannskuppe is an abandoned town that has been swallowed up by the desert. It is about 15KM from Luderitz in southern Namibia and well worth a trip, if you are in the neighborhood.

Garganta del Diablo, February 2016, 41°11’17.9″S 71°50’15.5″W
We visited here on a day trip from Bariloche and it is well worth it. By the time we got there the sun was pretty much directly overhead, making photography somewhat tricky. Still a stunning place and thanks to the black and white weekend blog (https://blackandwhiteweekend.blogspot.com/) I took another look at the photos for B&W… Read more
