Ever been to a demolition derby? Ever been to Shomberg? You're missing out, my friend.But luckily I was there last week to capture the twangy, mud-soaked excitement.
All in On the Road
Mexican Mermaids
I've been seeing mermaids everywhere: wood carvings in restaurants, souvenirs in artisan shops, painted on walls. Is it me or does that piece of coral look just like a fish tail?
Slovenia
The infamous Postojna Cave is one of the most amazing places I’ve ever seen—dark, cold and cathedral-like.
Eastman House, Rochester
I still can’t understand how a person reconciles philanthropy with blatant cruelty. But I also can’t help but be thankful for the wealth that allowed Eastman to preserve one of the greatest collections of film and photography.
Lorraine and Champagne, France
A photo diary of a few days spent driving through the region famous for it's namesakes: quiche and bubbly. Yum
Le Weekend: Bromont
at dusk the country side took on the appearance of a watercolour painting, aglow with deep purples and smoky greys.
What to Eat: Hawaii
I’ve heard it said that Hawaii doesn’t have a great cuisine and that truly good eats demand big bucks—but we had no trouble eating our way around the Big Island, and on a budget too
Fruška Gora, Serbia
A day trip around beautiful (and sleepy) Fruška Gora: peaceful monasteries (old and new), a stroll on the pristine streets of Sremski Karlovci, a climb up to Kosmaj mountain and a beautiful home-style lunch.
Sarajevo, Bosnia
For a city that has become synonymous with war for anyone outside of this region, it was incredibly uplifting to see its historic centre, Baščaršija bustling and restored.
The Alps
Natural high is truly the right term! At almost 3000m, the Gavio Pass feels like the rooftop of the world and its beauty is just astonishing.
Sleeping in a Museum
Palazzo Lambertenghi has likely stood in the little Italian border town of Tirano since the 1400s.
The Venice Biennale, 2011
After being knocked on my ass by the overpowering beauty of nature in the last couple of weeks I was hard to impress. As it turns out, the Biennale visit was perfectly timed.
Best Homes Away From Home
Here's a compilation of the coziest, most unique places I've ever laid my head to rest—from campground to hotel
Weekend: New York II
Three haunted nights at the Chelsea, the genius of McQueen and books, books, books.
Barcelona
It’s exhilarating watching a tower of people form, many stories high in the large public square. The “Castellars” from different barrios of Barcelona compete to build the highest human structure
The Netherlands
The Zeeland (meaning sea-land) area of the lowlands plays out like a fairytale. Just peer in any window and you'll find lace curtains, clogs, porcelain kitten figurines and bouquets of wildflowers.
Greek Islands
We set sail for Oia, world famous for its sunsets. The best (but slightly heartbreaking) part was the long and slow donkey ride to reach the top of the cliffs with fantastic views.
Maui, Hawaii
We stayed in Paia, on Maui’s north shore, a one-intersection hippy/surfer town with boasts lots of cute bars and an amazing surfing beach.
A Video Love Letter to Iceland
Our trip in a nutshell, and the best birthday gift I've ever received.
Iceland
Picture this: cliffs dotted with hundreds of puffins at Dyrholay, surrounded by black sand beaches and ocean as far as the eye can see.
