A constant question during the #SkyTeamRTW journey was enquiring how I was editing my photos for real time social media publishing. As the round the world social media campaign was created by, and undertaken by, a long time professional news photographer (namely Me) , the logical answer would have been Photo Mechanic to sort and…
Choosing what stays with us as we travel has changed. You used to keep a wallet in your pocket, maybe a notepad and a pen, and you were off. If you were so inclined, you tossed a camera on your shoulder. The nature of travel has remained the same, but what comes with us has…
The past few weeks have been intense, interesting, and filled with ever changing logistics … similar to building a jigsaw puzzle on top of a constantly moving Rubik’s Cube. This morning, 13 days after project launch something I have worked hard to build went wheels up. This morning with the 7:00am Delta Air Lines…
This past week it became widely known that the U.S. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) had begun a new security measure to be implemented at a number of overseas airports requiring passenger power up their electronics before boarding flights bound for the United States.

Klout scoring is based on a complex alogarithm that factors in nearly 40 variables to measure an online entity’s true reach, amplification probability and network score. Klout’s numbers fluctuate along the scale of…
The last day of the year is a good time to stop, take a moment, and think back over the past year. It’s also probably not the best day to write about the year in review because you’re likely to forget a lot of things … but I’ll give it a shot anyway. 2010 was…
Typically I do not respond to trolls. Engaging a troll can generally bring about no good, but an unconventional troll hiding behind anonymity has been following my every move and must be addressed.  I have addressed this on Twitter, via email and in conversation … but at this point I should just put it here,…
Last night while finishing my work I was sent a link to a video curiously named “100 hours around the world” from globe hopping DJ, musician and record producer Max Graham.
