Here’s a weird one… 60% of people can’t have a 10 minute conversation without lying at least once. ~ 8fact. I guess this is just evidence of people worrying about what other people think. But really we don’t control what anyone else thinks. It’s just easier to be yourself. Here’s a shot of Tegalalang rice fields Indonesia. One of the cool things about rice fields in Indonesia is that they stack them on levels making them completely epic for any type of shot.
One of the things I love experiencing most from my travels is connection. Being able to hang out with locals in their culture. Being invited onto their land to take epic pics then sharing some freshly picked snake fruit in a hut not saying a word. There is a peaceful calm between us. It is a spiritual moment when a few souls can just be. No agenda. No drama. No control. No payment required. No conversation. Just a bond formed between the energy of the land, the universe, God and us. Here’s a shot of me entering another cave. 😃 ✌🏼to the right you can see some of the gang at the bottom already. What’s your favorite trip and why? —— #bealpha #sonyalpha #alphacollective #sonyimages
Spectacular traditional village of Jodipan Indonesia. Beautiful rainbow houses joined by a bridge to cross the river. Which color would you live in?
Spending this time in Indonesia so far has been incredible. I love to submerge myself within cultures and learn about the people and their way of life. I’ve been eating mostly at traditional villages and in many places these “eating establishments” are an extension of peoples homes. They cook meals and have a small restaurant established in-house in order to help feed their families and cover costs in life. I have a very Asian tongue. I am able to eat a ton of spicy food and eating traditional dishes that are prepared by women who are so amazing I call them “auntie”. They chuckle but don’t mind the term of endearment.
If you’ve ever wondered how glamorous adventure travel photography is... I’ll fill you in. This shot came from two hours of sleep after four hours worth of driving. 3 Hour Drive up a mountain in a Jeep off-roadIng the last hour. Hiking down a side of a mountain to find a place to catch the sunrise. Setting up gear in the dark. Trying to keep warm as it was cool at the top of the mountain. Waiting for the sun to rise and catch our shots. Don’t forget the 5 hour tour in traffic to the bottom of the mountain but did manage to stop for some desert footage until one of the jeeps got stuck and had to dig it out. Mt. Bromo Indonesia witnessing the low clouds as they scrape over the town below. Shot on @sonyalpha #a7riii using 16-35mm GM lens. #bealpha . . . . . . . . . . . .
What it is that makes you explore? What are the reasons for traveling the world? As we began this hike it started as a normal hike. About half way up the trail began getting muddier. We then had to brace ourselves with tree roots or anything we could grab onto. After rounding some narrow walls and ridges we kept going up. The trail kept getting narrower until it began straight up climb with ropes, mud, falling rocks and any footholds we could find to get us up. … It was totally worth the view. Hanging with @sonyalpha fam @theanthonycastro @vincelimphoto and his partner in crime @jessicafang —- thanks Jess for the shot!! And thanks fam for your hospitality. Shot using @sonyalpha A7rIII with my 12-24mm G Series lens.
Around the bend. #oahu caught this shot from a Heli. We were going to land on a mountain ridge but the cloud was so low that we couldn’t. Instead, we ended up flying around the island. This is one of the highways that disappears into the mountain range. These roads make for an interesting composition. . If you love green lushlandscapes there is still one spot left for our epic Scotland Workshop. We have an massively well scouted schedule planned and the detailed itinerary is provided on my website under /workshops. You will also be able to get your hands on the latest @sonyalpha gear - cameras and lenses.

One of the things that I learned a long time ago was to adjust my methodology but still achieve my goals. A lot of us try to achieve to be happy. I learned it’s best if we happily achieve. What this means is while you are achieving your goals soak in those moments, take in deep slow breaths and actually just be. . Believe me if you are goal orientated don’t worry about it you will achieve your goals anyway. It will be much more valuable if you balance along the way every day. During my latest travels I consciously made sure I balanced. I had fun, got the footage but also took time for the only real thing that exists ... the moment. Keeping the balance while absorbing culture and really understanding why i even traveled to these locations in the first place was much more impactful and ultimately a more meaningful experience. This is a shot from #oahu . Hiking straight up using tree roots for foot/hand holds and ropes to make it to the ridge for this view.

I can’t say enough about Oahu. Definitely one of my favorite places I’ve ever seen. From crazy ridge hikes to mind blowing Heli rides this place has amazing greenery and textures unlike any other place.

We don’t really realize how small we are until we see shots like this. Can you see us below? @stanmoniz showing me his bangers on his a7rIII while we plan for Milky Way.
