Maldives
November 1, 2009
Please forgive the tragic cliche of a headline above, but truly, I found one of paradise’s costumes right here in the Maldives. This long strand of islands, or Atolls as they’re known, out in the middle of the Indian Ocean features some of the most picturesque island-fantasy scenery I have ever imagined. Lo [...]

The November Issue
The feature is on the superlative Molori Safari Lodge in South Africa, which I visited last November. The photo spread in the magazine looks beautiful and clearly illustrates the elegance of this Bush oasis.
Many thanks to the fabulous editors at Town & Country. Below are some of my own pics from my [...]

Grumeti Reserve, Tanzania
September 28th, 2009
Our first overnight in Tanzania was by far the most formal and least intimate with nature’s nighttime creatures (bugs, reptiles, monkeys, etc.) of the entire trip. Oh the things I would have better appreciated had I known what was coming. However, despite Sasakwa’s formality, California-desert style exterior, and hilltop location, it’s [...]

TANZANIA
September 27th, 2009
It’s pretty wild that in three days time I went from Cebu in the Philippines to Amsterdam to now, the Grumetti Reserve in Tanzania. I know, I know, my life is charmed but, I must admit – I’m exhausted. Fortunately my four-poster bed at Singita’s Sasakwa Lodge beckons with fluffy promise.
But before that, [...]

SUZHOU, CHINA
September 14th, 2009
Here in Suzhou, a smaller city in China (though still 6 million people), I’ve discovered what my buddy Ben in Hong Kong had forewarned about traditional Chinese business dinners. As Ben rattled off lore (lazy susans, chicken feet and hideously potent alcohol) I absently shook my head thinking there’s no way our [...]

SHANGHAI
September 13th, 2009
So, as customary, I returned the following day to retrieve my custom designed, tailor made selections; a brown cashmere coat with added detail on the cuff and pockets, a purple cashmere dress with added pockets, a green and gold wool dress and a silk print shirt. What felt like a giddy foray into [...]

SHANGHAI
September 13th 2009
First off, HOLY MOLY! The FABRIC MARKET in Shanghai, located now at 399 Lu Jia Bang road, is one of the most alluring and dangerous places I have ever been. It was Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory and I embodied every single one of the bratty child characters at one point, including Charlie, [...]

SHANGHAI
September 12th, 2009
Am so excited to be here in Shanghai. Once again the Chinese dazzle with night lights and towering skyscrapers to keep man humble…or something like that. I’m staying as a guest at the Shangri-La in Shanghai on the Pudong side of the river. So far I’ve learned that “Pu” means river and [...]

HONG KONG
September 10th, 2009
The bustling streets just above the financial market area in Hong Kong. Rest assured, I blended right in (especially when taking this shot)

HONG KONG
September 10th, 2009
As fitting of a tourist, I went up to the top of the Peak Tram to check out one of the city’s best views. Leaving from about mid-peak level, the surprisingly steep tram is an easy 10 minute ride up to the summit of the peak. Its not the actual top – [...]
