  • How amazing would it be to swim with wild Manta Rays in Komodo National Park? Simply put... INCREDIBLE! While I am out here working on a few photography projects involving venomous snakes and Komodo Dragons, I couldn't help myself getting a little snorkeling in while I am here. Luckily June is Manta Ray season...which means there are plenty of them around in the waters out here. While Komodo has world class diving sites, some say that snorkeling here is better than diving in many other spots around the world!

  • The Keel-billed toucan is easily one of my favorite colorful birds found in Latin America (from Mexico to Colombia). These birds are not solitary birds as you can almost always find them in small flocks hanging out looking for food. Have you seen one before?

  • The entire world knows about "The Grumpy Cat"...now it's time to meet "The Grumpy Frog", otherwise known as the Malaysian Horned Frog.

  • One of my favorite accessories to use with landscape photography has to be a CPL or Circular Polarizer. In a situation like this, it can cut the light reflecting off the water, allowing you to easily see through the water to the incredible rocks below in the foreground. What is your one must have photo accessory?

  • The Resplendent Quetzal is arguably one of the most beautiful birds in the world. The males, seen here, have these long beautiful blue tail feathers, that make the easily distinguishable from the females. We see this beautiful species during my Costa Rica Photo Workshop each January.
