The “Blue City” in northern Morocco is one of the most visually appealing I’ve visited. Walking the alleys of this small hamlet in the Rif Mountains is almost a religious experience. Northern Africa in its purest form.

Delineations of Prague
The historical capital of Bohemia proper leaves too many photos to be taken. With that, it also seems impossible to capture the full beauty of modern Prague. The 4th Czechoslovakian Writers’ Congress in 1967 took a strong stand against a controlled state, this gallery is in honor of that meeting and the beginning of the “Prague Spring.”
Moscow in Captures
The northernmost mega city on earth has enough to keep a photographer busy for a lifetime. History, architecture and culture are on constant display in the capital of Russia. Nine train stations link Moscow to Europe and Asia. All cities are under constant change but Moscow is even more so. The transition to a market economy has made living in a small flat unbelievably expensive. Mix in current politics and there is always something to discuss at a local cafe.

Lennon Wall
Since the 1980′s, the John Lennon Wall in Prague has been filled with graffiti. Under the former Communist regime, led by Gustáv Husák, the wall was a place of peaceful, written demonstration. Czech authorities often engaged in clashes with students who were marked as agents of Western capitalism. Today, the wall reminds us of past accomplishments but also serves as a notice of current geo-political problems.

Auschwitz & Auschwitz II Birkenau
Excerpt from Night by Elie Wiesel
Never shall I forget that night, the first night in camp, that turned my life into one long night seven times sealed.
Never shall I forget that smoke.
Never shall I forget the small faces of the children whose bodies I saw transformed into smoke under a silent sky.
Never shall I forget those flames that consumed my faith forever.
Never shall I forget the nocturnal silence that deprived me for all eternity of the desire to live.
Never shall I forget those moments that murdered my God and my soul and turned my dreams to ashes.
Never shall I forget those things, even were I condemned to live as long as God Himself.
Never.
عرق الشبي
The Erg Chebbi in pictures. Staying in a Berber tent after a camel trek is a visual treat. Morocco affords many types of unique terrain and hospitality. Watching the sun come up at 5AM is quite a sight. Shredding some fresh powder on the dunes was pretty cool as well. Photogs get to the desert ASAP.
St. Peterburg, Russia
Lenin, Tchaikovsky and Rasputin…the echoes of Leningrad hold onto a labyrinthine history. Today, this historic seaport of revolutionaries and playwrights offers a comfortable area to experience Russian culture. From a local coffee shop to the world famous Hermitage museum, St. Petersburg has plenty to do. If you enjoy reading Russian authors such as Tolstoy and Chekhov, walking around St. Petersburg is the perfect ingredient to refresh your imagination.
