Its a little strange trying to tell a story when you don't know what the story is. On our way to Tioman Island off of the coast of Malaysia just north of Singapore (more on that later - we can't wait to share the images from this AMAZING place), we had to stop in a...
I rode my first subway system in Washington DC when I was eight years old, and I can only imagine what my mother went through as she pulled this wide-eyed Idaho farm child through the underground tunnels of a big city. I remember clutching my disposal camera and...
