I have some good friends carving out niches in the relatively new field of travel blogging, and as I keep a watch, their writing skills evolve. I also see them sharpening other native talents as they venture off to distant lands. Anil Polat, the proprietor of the great travel blog FoxNomad, is on a quest [...]

The Quick Look – Estació de França Train Station
Even with all its issues, its overpriced beer, dramatic unpredictable economics and its on again off again romance with the tabloids, I do love me some Europe. The legacy of its history makes it fabulously photogenic and those that are keen enough with the lens know just how to make it timeless. I’m in an [...]
They Draw and Travel – Artists as Mapmakers
Map making ain’t what she used to be. Especially since they let those creepy artist types at it. The website They Draw & Travel from brother and sister wanderlusters Nate Padavick and Salli Swindell features a massive collection of city maps, but not what you expect a city map to be. These are cities as [...]
If Waves Were Jewels – Surfing Fiji
If you happen to love pretty things (and who doesn’t?) the water in this video will mesmerize you. It’s clear, with the unmistakeable look of something unspoiled, and the waves rolling over the top will make you wish you weren’t locked in your little room with a jacket on. While yes, this is a surfing [...]
Sicily Shows Us How to Drink a Glass of Wine
The question “Do you know how to drink a glass of wine?” is posed innocently, innocuously, as if such a pretentious question – of course I know how to drink a glass of wine! – was somehow endearing. But then it starts, poetic it comes with scenes of the good life in Italy, grapes, vineyard [...]
Cartegena on a Buzz – photo find of the day
Cartagena is a travelers’ city. When you step off the plane, the heat instantly puts your brain stem in the microwave, but stepping into the Old Town you realize exactly what you took that plane ride for. The city opens you up, devours you. It promises you a sensual rendezvous with the exotic, dances with [...]
Photography on the Open Road, England
One of the great things about England is how accessible it all is. Just about every airline on the planet flies there, they speak with a peculiar little accent and the entire country can be explored by wheels or rails in less time than it takes to say, “Bob’s your uncle“. And on top of [...]

This is the second of the series of five collages of the 10 Times One World Collage Project, wherein yours truly is puzzled into collages of famous landmarks around the world. The above is taken at the Hagia Sophia in Istanbul in December of 2008. This particular collage was assembled from about 25 photos at [...]
Travel Photo Roulette Round 15: Piousness
Welcome to the 15th edition of Travel Photo Roulette! Last week’s edition was hosted by Shutterfeet and just happened to be won, amazingly with the stiff competition, by yours truly. So by virtue of the rules of the game, 10 Times One will be hosting this edition. For those of you who don’t know, Travel [...]
World Collage Project #1 – The Taj Mahal
Back in 2002 on a visit to Hawaii I decided to take some pictures of Hanauma Bay, one of Oahu’s most famous and picturesque shorelines. I thought it a unique idea to capture the bay with a half dozen images so I could collage them together later on. When that was done I happened to [...]
Space Invaders Found in Varanasi
The best part about Space Invader graffiti is that you can come across it no matter where in the world you are, and when you do, you feel like you’ve made a huge discovery, the tell-tale tiles popping up in front of your eyes like some new country. I was in Varanasi, a couple weeks [...]
