THE Castle
Ahhh yes, the amazing Edinburgh castle! This is the spot I’ve always wanted to visit in Scotland… well, there are MANY places I was excited to visit. I’m pretty well-traveled, but Scotland has always evaded me! You evaded me no more, you awesome country, you!
Now, I’ve been posting some extremely ridiculous and probably inappropriate and mildly offensive videos to my Instagram stories and assembling the funniest ones atop my profile in “Funny Scotland,” should you want to be a fly on the wall of some of these adventures. I’m not afraid to post offensive stuff. People gotta develop thick skins nowadays, hey?

Daily Photo – Edinburgh!
What a month and a bit. I’ve had a blast exploring here and have so much to share. Today I fly out from Edinburgh and can’t wait to share all of the images and thoughts with you. For now, this was my first image from the trip… exploring the magical streets of Edinburgh at night shortly after arriving.

This reminds me that some of the coolest art at Burning Man has some of the simplest concepts. One of my previous favorites was just a tree that lit up in the middle of the desert that was green in the day and multi-colored at night. This one, I wish I had also taken photos of it on the first day before it got all dusty, The reflection was perfect, and I did not expect it to get so dusty. That said, it still came out pretty cool and probably more reflective of the reality of the experience in the end. 🙂

Starting to Think of Burning Man

Wow, the last year has flown. I think things being back to a bit more of normality after Covid has really thrown my concept of time passing. It feels like only a couple of months ago I was back in the desert for the first BM in a few years. This was a particular highlight from that trip… can’t wait to see what Michael Benisty does this time round!

Searching for Oysters In Koh Samui
Daily Photo – Searching for Oysters In Koh Samui
The sun was setting over the Gulf of Thailand as we arrived on the other side of Koh Samui. The fishing boats were already coming in, their colorful sails waving in the breeze. But I was drawn to the oyster farmers who were working in the shallow water. I waded out to join them, curious to see how they worked. They were using a simple technique: they would make a small clicking sound with their fingers, and the oysters would react in the sand below. I didn’t know why this worked, but it did!

On a previous trip to Hong Kong one of my goals was to explore as much of the government housing as possible, getting away from my usual haunts in the main city. My new friend Simon, a local Chinese guy, was the perfect person to show me around.
We started our day in the Tsing Yi district, which is home to some of the most iconic government housing estates in Hong Kong. The estates are massive, towering blocks of concrete that are home to thousands of people. They may look a bit intimidating at first, but Simon assured me that they were full of life and character. We wandered around the estates for a while, taking in the sights and sounds. We saw people of all ages, from young children to elderly grandparents, going about their daily lives. We saw people playing games, chatting with friends, and just hanging out. It was clear that these estates were more than just places to live; they were also individual communities.
After exploring the estates, we headed to the nearby Sham Shui Po district, which is known for its vibrant night market. We wandered through the market, snacking on street food and browsing the stalls. We found everything from fresh produce to electronics to souvenirs. It was a great way to experience the local culture. Here is one of the final shots of the night, as we continued to explore, just before I headed off back to the hotel with sore feet but a mind racing with memories of the day.

Here’s Baba Yaga’s Book Club by Jessi Sprocket Janusee. I’ve always said you can’t have a book club in the desert without some robotic chicken legs holding it up and it seems I was right…

With Full Sails

The Monaco is one of the best art cars to follow around the playa in the middle of a dust storm. They actually use the wind to move it around the place. All these cats on board the frigate are super hardcore and they are yelling out commands right and left to the crew to make sure they get to the place they want to get to. They do everything pirate-ish except for the raping and pillaging.
The Rainforest Inside

This place in Singapore is awesome and really easy to photograph. There’s sort of a path everyone walks along. Right in the beginning, you come to this very still little pond. The reflection was so perfect that I set up for a nice vertical shot here before moving on to find so many more images.
