National Geographic Traveler’s blog, Intelligent Travel, just posted a photo of mine in their Global Eye series. It is a photo that I took in Peru of some Quechua women hand-dyeing alpaca yarn.

Another of my photos was chosen for Gadling’s Photo of the Day series.
I took the picture less than a week ago in Seattle’s Pike Place Market. Here is the big version.
One of my previous photos was picked in June.
A news piece of mine titled Machu Picchu: Threatened by Tourism? was just posted by Ethical Traveler.
Deforestation, landslides, and urban development are threatening the site. The number of visiting tourists has more than doubled in the last ten years and is now at around 800,000 people.

The Traveler’s Notebook published an article of mine called Ten Travels (and their Tales) that Made History.
It is about my favorite old travel books. I read a lot of books about world exploration, and it was nice to put that to use in this piece. Every book I mention is over 100 years old - Marco Polo, Ibn Battuta, Lewis & Clark, Sir Richard F Burton, and so on.
Julie (a regular on the Matador network) already left a comment:
Fantastic article. What I really liked about this piece is that you include books that are obscure to many readers, even those of us who consider ourselves pretty well-read! The only problem is that I already have an impossible stack of books to read!
