Good morning, Bangkok. I’m always looking forward to these 8 hour layovers in the City of Angels.

A tip for travel writers and photographers:

Make friends everywhere you go. Keep in touch after you leave. Are the locals impressed by or interested in the stories you’re telling about their home town? If yes, you’re probably doing an alright job. If not, maybe the story you’re telling doesn’t need to be told. Maybe it isn’t even a story at all.

Keep yourself accountable. Do good work.

One of my images got some love on Fotojournalismus today. I shot this nearly three months ago on the third day in Myanmar. It remains one of my favorite portraits to date.

Shamelessly taking a break from the world to catch up on the internet. Okay, and chow down on some delicious 400 rupee crab curry. Jaffna, you’ve been good to me.(Yes, that’s a Sitka sticker on my MacBook Pro. YYJ Represent!)

Dalhouse, Sri Lanka.
Six months today since I boarded that first plane. If the next six months look anything like the last, this trip could last forever.

A big thanks to those of you feeling my travel photography. It’s probably worth mentioning that I’m banging these guys out over at the Keyboard + Compass : Appendix blog like three times a day.

Lately, all I’ve been doing is hiking. I’m okay with that. Here’s sunrise at 2,243 meters from Sri Pada (known colloquially as Adam’s Peak) in Central Sri Lanka.
