WELCOME to Paul's travel
photography show.
For the past 45 or so years I've roamed the world, from time to time -- listening, observing, encountering, avoiding or trying to avoid, engaging or trying to engage, well or ill, comfortable or not, homesick or content -- being, in other words, a traveler. When I crossed the Atlantic for the first time, in 1967, on a passenger-freighter bound for Tangier, I couldn't have known that it would be the start of a type of adventure I would return to repeatedly. I was away for 6 months that time and I came back with a lot of memories -- bedbug bites in Tangier, first view of the Parthenon, the Wailing Wall and then sick from too much halvah in Jerusalem, drinking out of the Ganges in Rishikesh, stoned on hash in Hong Kong. A lot of memories and no pictures. I resolved to remedy that -- and this website is one result of that resolution.
Eventually I bought a camera. I learned (and am still learning) how to appreciate a subject -- having an exotic and fascinating subject helps -- and to convert that appreciation into a fine photograph.
Most of these photographs have been taken since 1975 although the earliest photos in the show date from 1962/1963. The photographs before 2004 were taken with a variety of cameras using Kodachrome and Ektachrome slide film. The slides were scanned with a dedicated slide scanner. Photos from 2004 were taken with a Canon Pro 1 and, most recently, with a Canon XSi using a Sigma 18-200mm telephoto lens or a Canon 50mm prime.
Come travel with me through the world. It's easier I know -- and more rewarding -- than sitting in my living room listening to me guide you through 2 hours of slides from my latest trip.
ENJOY!
