There’s something about adding that delicate layer of texture that … Lire plus
I’ve photographed 47 glacier destinations across four continents, from Patagonia’s Grey Glacier to Norway’s Svartisen. Here’s what no cruise brochure admits: Iceland’s Jökulsárlón delivers the glacial drama Alaska’s Tracy Arm promises, with 70% easier access, volcanic black sand beaches, and sapphire icebergs you can walk beside instead of viewing from distant ship decks.

I stand in pre-dawn darkness at Balloon Fiesta Park, watching 500 hot air balloons inflate across 78 acres of high desert terrain. The silence breaks at 5:47 AM when the first propane burners roar to life, and within 90 minutes, the entire New Mexico sky transforms into a floating canvas of color that exists nowhere … Lire plus
I still remember the day I pulled out my favorite navy and white striped shirt from the back of my closet. At 62, I’d convinced myself that stripes would make me look wider—like wearing horizontal lines was some kind of fashion crime. But after years of avoiding them, I decided to give stripes another chance. … Lire plus
I first stepped onto these terraced slopes at 5:47 AM on an October morning, and the silence stopped me mid-breath. The $2 entrance fee felt almost absurd for what unfolded before me—amphitheater walls of emerald green dropping in perfect steps toward the valley floor, each tier catching the first golden light like a mirror reflecting … Lire plus
After two decades exploring over 900 tidal islands across five continents, I thought I’d witnessed every permutation of sand, sea, and tide. Then I sailed 32 kilometers east from Manama into the Persian Gulf’s turquoise expanse, watching a white sandbank materialize from nothing.
