Malaysia: Bajau Fisherman

In Kota Belud, in the  Malaysia’s territory of Sabah, in north Borneo, this ironic Bajau fisherman was smoking a cigarette rolled in a leaf. He seemed to wonder what I found so interesting about him. Few people know what is interesting about them, but every person is worth a portrait, and photographers can make such portraits read like books.

Acadia: Bay Of Fundy

In Canada’s Acadia, the beautiful rock-studded Bay of Fundy boasts the world’s highest tides, averaging heights of 47 to 54 feet. I photographed it at low tide, when people were walking around the rocks, but at high tide I would have seen them kayaking around them. Unfortunately my schedule did not allow me this.

Though the sun still shone brightly on the surrounding park when I got there, the bay, at the bottom of steep cliffs, was already bathing in the purple light of dusk. The sea looked reddish from the sediments it was dragging back and forth.

Bolivia: Altiplano Stone Forest

In Bolivia’s southern Altiplano, an often beautiful if bitter cold 10,000 feet-high plateau between two Andean cordilleras, hundreds of rocks sculptured like these by erosion form what the locals call bosque de piedras, or stone forest.
