Do you like sunsets? I like sunsets. They signal an end to the day almost like a rite of passage, where things start over again. They’re also beautiful and make for ideal photo opportunities. For instance, this one of me and Oliver in Fort Myers on Father’s Day. See what I mean? I often travel...Read More

“What I like about photographs is that they capture a moment that’s gone forever, impossible to reproduce.” ― Karl Lagerfeld I love holding a camera. It’s often the closest I get to living in the moment. And my skill as a photographer changes each time I snap a shot. As Henri Cartier-Bresson put it, “Your...Read More

This post is a complete rip off from Gear Patrol’s essay titled, The Best Shave I Ever Had. I’m a big fan of their site and as I read this essay, it got me thinking about the wet shaves I’ve had in Palermo, Capri, Kusadasi, Indianapolis, Goa, and Mumbai. So this is my experience sitting...Read More

My driver overtook a hundred cars, mopeds, trucks, 3-wheeled cars, bicycles and avoided disenfranchised cows. It’s a stunning drive with lots of...Read More

Goa’s been on my list and I’m finally here. What a gift. Such beautiful beaches. I’m at Agonda Beach in Southern Goa. It’s more laid back than the northern beaches. This is a beach where dogs, cows and horses wander freely. And Europeans. Where the colors of India overflow into all areas of life. And...Read More

I love Sundays in big cities. They take a chill pill and it makes for great wandering. Mumbai got a good dose of sedatives today, despite it being India’s Republic Day, commemorating the 65th anniversary of the Constitution of India. It’s obviously a proud and important day to Indians. I felt lucky to be here...Read More

The traffic is considerably lighter on a Saturday in Mumbai. It’s now on par with rush hour in Los Angeles. Again I spent lots of time in a car and despite no regard for any traffic rules, I witnessed zero accidents. There’s something to be said for that. My first visit of the day was...Read More

It’s definitely been an eye opening day. 29 floors up in my nice hotel room, I can still hear the hustle and bustle including the never ending honking of horns. It’s the language of the streets. And those streets may have been designed for 2 lanes but they now make room for at least 5...Read More
