Photography is one of my personal passions, and I've been fortunate to be able to pursue my hobby all over the world. I've captured subtly beautiful landscapes in China, fascinating cultures in East Africa, and elegant architecture in Europe. But for the past 20 years, by far my favorite photographic subject has been my wife. My wife has a classic feminine...
Skirts were a bad idea. But to be honest she never intended to go on a camel ride. The hotelier kept telling her every day that beyond that first dune were unending rolling dunes like they showed in the movies. After a day's sightseeing and shopping of forts, museums and the palaces of the Maharajas she finally decided it was a good idea to be in place wher...
It was the summer of 2008, the week of the 4th of July, and I was on vacation with a couple of friends on a little island off the coast of Carolina. Even during the tourist season, the island is often secluded, making it easy to spend an entire day at the beach without seeing anyone else. That's exactly what we went for. My friends, Daniel and Amy, a married...
It was the third day of my holiday and I was now well into exploring my surroundings. I had walked along the cliff tops I was on my way to Porto Christo, intending to visit the Caves of Drach. I had heard that the stalagmite and stalactite formations were not to be missed. I had left the hotel early after breakfast, and intended to make a day of it. The tr...
A few days later I got another email from Vince with his idea. He told me how the two of them had always wanted to have someone take shots of them during love making but Fiona was just too shy to do it. She considered it borderline swinging and was something she refused to descend to. Even though she posted such explicit pictures and discussed them with admi...
Warm day, not a cloud in the sky as I passed the last house on the beach. Fifteen more miles of black top, all arrow straight, through the deserted undeveloped beach. The ocean, all various colors of blue; dark blue, turquoise, light blue, so lovely. Today the water was calm, small waves, nothing much. The top was down on my triple black Corvette, my hair p...
He sat alone at the top of the sand dune. The beach was empty, yet teaming with life. There was a line of pelicans gliding along on a wind current skimming across the top of the water, gulls high overhead, calling to each other and the tiny terns running along the edge of the shore line. It had been so long since he had been this alone. Every day, all day lo...
Nakafjiya, Ar'Raq 15 miles from the Kafjiya Mountains of Northern Ar'Raq 1st Lieutenant Ace Diwa the tank commander of a Leopard A2EX and leader of a PUMA Cavalry Fighting Vehicle, 2 Boxers Armored Personnel Carrier, and 2 six-man teams of 12 infantry troops lazily relaxed at his advance position, kicking his legs up as he sink back to an old recliner insi...
We were spending the weekend at a resort in the town of Duck on the northern outer banks of North Carolina. At the time, just north of the resort were a few houses, and then a bit farther along was a stretch of undeveloped beach. It was late September and the weather was still fairly warm. I had heard this part of the beach was known as a place to find good...
"I think he is finally waking up Lady Lygia," Mithra, one of the acolytes of Aphrodite, cried as she gently prodded Demetrius with her bare foot. "Wha, what..., where am I?" Demetrius croaked, his throat dry and his mind just brushing away the fog of his temporary insanity and unexpected nap. "Don't you remember? You are on the island of the temple of the...
