Travel the world and capture the many communities, landscapes and cityscapes that make up this planet.  From barren deserts to icebergs floating in the sea the natural environs are numerous, then take into account the human societies continually evolving in these latitudes: from bustling metropolises to single room dwellings.  And what of the anthropological side of things? How do the multitudes of communities forge their lives? What is the underlying current that makes each tick?  The rituals that make up a culture's daily schedule defined by the colors, materials and textures: the sensual complexities of a community.  Photography has been documenting this world, with it's melting pot of people and places, since the advent of the art-form. Travel photography allows us to go places and see sights without ever leaving the comfort of our own armchairs.
