Machu Pichu’s Carved Mountaintops

Talking about terraced fields sent me digging through my image archive looking for other photos I’ve shot showing human ingenuity. Below are a few early morning photos from Peru’s Machu Pichu, with clouds rolling up the mountain from the nearby … Continued


Terms of Abandonment

  Abandoned mansions crumbling and fading under the glaring Bangladeshi sun line the once prosperous street in Painam Nagar, a forgotten village near Dhaka. Built by wealthy Hindu merchants between 1895 and 1905, their former owners fled the country after … Continued


Angkor Wat’s Dancing Walls

A while back I posted photos from the Burmese city George Orwell – the famous and infamous author – grew up in. About 300km from Yangon, Mawlamyine is Burma’s 3rd largest city and a lazy town with a meandering boardwalk reminiscent of … Continued
