Extra! Extra!...

Here's a link to a fantastic must-read article in this month's issue of Digital Photo Pro... (of course I might be slightly biased).

A link for clicking...

Here's a site featuring one of my favorite images from last year...

Terminal 3, Charles De Gaulle Airport...

Must have been the pressurized cabin...

I'm sitting in Air France's business class lounge on the way home from Johannesburg. Plane's boarding a few and I'm about to spend the next 22 hours in transit. I've been flying mostly business class lately, which makes a HUGE difference when you have to walk off the plane and get straight to work. But I noticed a funny thing on my last flight out here to South Africa. There are a lot more bald heads in business class than in economy. It's not hard to figure out why that would be, but I realized last time I was seated directly behind one of those bald heads, it reminded me of the old ice bridge between Siberia and Alaska. Hair on the sides of the head with a bald bridge separating the two, much like the Bering Strait separating Asia and North America. I imagined the man's remaining follicles braving the high winds and exposure of the his dome like ancient Inuits, marching across his scalp in a poorly executed comb over, trying to find a better life in another land.

I have no idea if that makes any sense outside my own head. But it made me laugh.

Just in time for a summer swim...

I finished up shooting Great Whites down in Cape Town last week, now I'm northeast in Soweto. But here are some of the shark photos and a link to a slideshow on CNN's blog...

Bored and restless...

Sitting in a hotel in Johannesburg. Finished photographing Great White sharks in Cape Town last week (can't post photos yet-- they're under embargo). Now waiting to shoot in Soweto township on Monday. There's a b-movie on the tv and an unread newspaper on the nightstand. I've never quite figured out what to do in hotels.
