A recent trip took me to the Alor Archipelago in Indonesia for a week of scuba diving. Yes, I know there are going to be questions about why there aren’t any images from the dives and I’ll be the first to admit, I don’t shoot underwater. At least not yet. Diving is about flow and meditation for me and the last thing I’ve wanted to to do when I’ve been underwater is to think about f,stops and exposure and composition That being said, it has been creeping into my mind lately, and I may…. maaaaaaay try to get into some underwater photography the future. No promises though. In any event, this little bit of paradise is just as stunning above water as it is below water, so during the times between dives, I wandered around and took some little travel snaps to keep my creative juices flowing. Incredible vistas, traditional markets, and mountain villages are all the things I love about travel. Meeting new people and watching new horizons. These are just a few of my favorite frames and I can’t wait to get back. Perhaps there will be some underwater shots next time a post goes up about Alor.
