Locations across China, Laos, Vietnam ...
From the cities to the hinterlands, original writings and photos available for the locations plotted out. Click-to galleries range from Shanghai to Lhasa and cross country to Mount Everest; Beijing to Kashgar and the Pakistan border region; Dandong to Xishuangbanna and a Mekong border crossing ... plus Southeast Asia.

Soon to Publish:

In late July the writer and photographer completed the on-site stage of an assignment in Southwest China, laying the groundwork and shooting photos for his most recent book project. The text, completed in late September, and approximately 220 images cover regional ecological protection efforts, culture, industry and the land and people of Guiyang, the capital of Guizhou Province. Set for 2013 publication, the total work is tentatively entitled:

GUIYANG
The Philosopher City

Intelligent Design and Progressive Growth Mold a Metropolis

Nearing Completion:

Set for 2013 publication: A book of photography and writing on the modern and increasingly cosmopolitan metropolis of Beijing. That work, written under contract, is tentatively entitled:

BEIJING INTERNATIONAL
An Ancient Capital's Renaissance in the Age of Globalization

Advance excerpts are available for publication subject to publishing house approval. The project's 240 images are posted on a non-public, non-search-indexed web gallery and may be viewed by request.
