Whenever I travel to a new place, the desire to soak up every last detail with my camera is apparent. If you’re a photography enthusiast and planning an exciting trip near or far, I hope these few simple photo tips for traveling will help you prepare for an easy-going and memorable experience.

September 18, 2012 - 6:52 am - Hi Hannah - So glad to hear my post was helpful! Enjoy every minute in Bali (i'm sure you will!) If you happen to post some of your photos online, please share the link - I'd love to see!
It’s hard to believe it’s been a year since this amazing trip. In my continual efforts to print and archive my photographs in a meaningful way, I recently decided that the 500+ 4×6 prints filed in a box would not be enough. So, I’m gearing up to make a Fine Art Photo Book …
as i look out from our porch, i see nothing but green upon green upon green. our room is called Beji 2 and you enter through the squeaky, traditional Balinese carved doors, which lock from the inside with a simple piece of wood. i feel like i am someplace at another time entirely. someplace imaginary. from the labrynth of stairways leading you every-which-way to the river rushing below, i certainly could never have dreamed of a place quite like this..
this ceremonial cock fight was a very spontaneous stop en route to Amed in the village of Sidemen. i was engulfed by the complexity of it all. there was so much going on in every direction, i hardly noticed the actual ‘cock fight.’
June 29, 2011 - 10:44 am - The passion for your work really comes through in all of your Bali photos, Teri. Very beautiful.
June 29, 2011 - 12:16 pm - Thank you, Jennie. I really appreciate all of your kind, encouraging words!
continuing along in my series of Bali photographs.. here is a glimpse into the Balinese way of traveling about…
June 16, 2011 - 12:54 pm - Loving your Bali photos, Teri! So vivid, full of life and spectacularly colorful!
June 16, 2011 - 12:56 pm - So happy you are enjoying them! There are many more posts to come!
the phrase “life is an offering” was painted on the side of a building somewhere between Kuta and Ubud. it caught my eye on our very first day and, in that moment, i knew we were someplace very special.. i couldn’t wait to understand more.
at 1am on Sunday, May 8th after about 36 hours of travel, we landed in Bali, Indonesia. within the first day alone, i was moved to tears as i absorbed our new surroundings.. struggling with how in the world i would capture the pure magic of this place, these soulful people, and this beautiful culture, unlike any other, in just 10 days..
..but i tried, oh i tried.
June 21, 2011 - 10:47 am - Your blog site was sent to me by Jennie McCashin, who was my next door neighbor in Pasadena, until I moved to NYC in mid-April. She thought I would be interested in your photos, since I spent this past February and March in Bali. I must say, you have certainly captured that aspect you went looking for. Being a comedy writer, I focused more on the ridiculous and the sublime. Anyway, thank you for your photos and commentary and I look forward to hearing and seeing more.
June 21, 2011 - 11:24 am - Hi Arnold - Thank you for your thoughtful comment.. I really appreciate it and would be very interested in reading your comedy writing! I hope you had an amazing time in Bali, as well.
August 1, 2011 - 9:21 am - Hi Teri -- It's Marnee from Bali Institute. I just returned from my 3 month Bali journey. Which, by the way, didn't feel like enough time to digest or capture it all. Your work is AMAZING! I am so looking forward to following your upcoming posts... Oh how I longed for a "real" camera (and some photography talent) while I was there.
