Photography is a hobby that I enjoy. Happily it fits in very well with travel. Some of my photos are intended to record a special place, some to provide a window to a different way of life, and occasionally some make a political or social statement.
Naturally my portfolio contains a large variety of travel type photos. Often these are of interesting or famous places recorded in the best light. Although many of these photos provide a beautiful impression of a place, they are actually a poor substitute for experiencing these places in all dimensions and in person. Reality is both better and worse than the best photograph. In a photo you miss the beggars, the sometimes unsavory smells and the often mind-numbing sounds, but you also miss the real spectacle and wonders. My hope is that my images serve as an entree to travels of your own and don't make up the main course. Stock PhotographyI fund my travels through selling the rights to use my photographs. Images are available through two main sources: I make a large number of images available royalty free. A selection of images are also available rights managed though Alamy. Rights managed images are generally images that contain editorial content and as such are unsuitable for distribution though microstock agencies.My Camera EquipmentI currently use an Olympus Digital SLR camera. This system is well suited to my needs as a traveler. My priorities in selecting equipment are:
