Prairie Flower Pot
A beautiful old wreck west of Winnipeg Beach, Manitoba. If anyone knows of any other old cars like this feel free to send me directions!
Balance
This was taken on a trip from Chile to Bolivia to see the Salar de Uyuni, the world's largest salt flats. I liked how these two flamingos were standing on the opposite leg of the other.
The Eternal Buddha
There was an entire wall of these little statues in a monastery in Penang, Malaysia. I know the shot isn't technically abstract, but I thought the repeating pattern made it qualified, in a way.
Break and Enter
This looked like the tree had slowly broken through the window and left the window frame lying on the floor.
Plymouth Detail
A shot of the trunk area of an old Plymouth I found rusting away on an abandoned farm. I like the contrast of green and pink in this shot.
Polar Bear 1
Churchill, Manitoba, Canada. I liked this shot of a polar bear against a backdrop of its natural environment.
Polar Bear 2
Churchill, Manitoba, Canada. I liked the peaceful feeling of this photo.
Polar Bear 3
Churchill, Manitoba, Canada. Even though they look cute and playful, you don't want to play with a polar bear.
Infrared Plymouth
I tried to get some nice shots of the last rays of sunset hitting the car but I wasn't happy with the results that day. I switched to my infrared camera and wide angle lens for an interesting composition close to the camera. With the low light it was a long exposure. I had to try a couple shots as infrared light is a different length than regular light so focus can be a bit off if you don't compensate.
Relic
An old car just passing the time at the edge of a field in Saskatchewan.
Trouble Under the Hood
I found this old truck while exploring south western Manitoba near the U.S. border. A lightning storm was approaching and after photographing for a few more minutes I had to return to the car for safety reasons. I got stuck in a pretty rough storm, and I was nervous because a tornado had just gone through the area a couple days before.
Rooted in Angkor
This shot took me a long time to capture; there were endless amounts of Asian tourists that not only needed a photo of themselves in front of the tree making the peace sign with their hands, but they all needed to be in the shot individually. This was my favourite temple at Angkor as they have partially restored it but they have left many of the large trees that are slowly reclaiming the temple for the jungle. I believe they used this temple for parts of the movie Tomb Raider.
Ta Prohm, Angkor
This was my favourite temple at Angkor as they have partially restored it but they have left many of the large trees that are slowly reclaiming the temple for the jungle. I believe they used this temple for parts of the movie Tomb Raider.
Jungle Reclamation
An "out of the way" temple at the Angkor complex near Siem Reap, Cambodia. I don't remember the name. These roots were amazing.
Izakaya
An izakaya is a small pub/restaurant found all over Japan. This one is a standing only location that I passed when walking back to my hotel after leaving Akihabara, Tokyo.
Himeji Heron
This is a grey heron perched on a rooftop of a house near Himeji Castle in Japan. I like this ruffled feather/raised leg shot more than the more regular position one that I have. Plus, the bird perched in a perfect spot to show off the unique roof tiles on Japanese houses.
Moai
These are some of the famous stone figures on Easter Island called Moai. Easter Island is part of Chile and is also called Rapa Nui by the local population. These particular Moai are at an area called Rano Raraku, on the edge of a volcano which served as a quarry for the rock used in the making of the statues. There are many unfinished statues scattered around the area and walking along the pathways is an amazing experience.
