traveling photographer

Picture yourself, camera in hand, in the vast Serengeti ecosystem of Tanzania, where millions of zebras, wildebeest, and other grazing animals migrate annually—in the shadow of their predators. Or the Masai Mara in Kenya, where lions are so accustomed to human company they’ll frequently rest in the shade of Land Rovers.

I am not the world’s most religious person, but wherever I travel I make an extra effort to visit places of worship. What draws me to them is partly their history and sense of elaborate mystery, but also their sheer photogenic charm. From the adobe mission churches of the Southwest to the sweet white steeples of New England, these spiritual gathering places make a terrific travel subject.
