In the district of Exarcheia in central Athens you never know quite what to expect along the narrow streets which are full of shops, restaurants and bars … Hipster musicians and communists, high school students out for some fun and drunks on every corner. University students coming and going between the all night kebab shops [...]

Croatian Olive Oil
Posted in Uncategorized on 27-October-2010 | 1 Comment »
Just a little more than a year ago I was starting my way down the Dalmatian Coast and one of my contacts, a friend of a friend, turned me on to the idea of doing a story on olive oil. It occurred to me that most of my friends and family in the USA cook [...]

Travel Note: Head Space
Posted in Uncategorized on 16-December-2009 | 3 Comments »
The News Of My Demise Has Been Greatly Exaggerated. Especially so since there has not been any news of such kind. Rather, I have not been posting much since leaving Athens. To be frank, have been (still am) in a bit of a weird head space and not really feeling all that up to sharing [...]
Travel Note: Athens
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged Athens, demonstration, Greece, Grigoropoulos, photojournalism, police, riots on 5-December-2009 | Leave a Comment »
Getting to Athens has been an interesting experience, but I made it safe and sound although a bit wet as the weather has turned a bit. While Athens may be a big destination for a normal tourist I am really here for one just reason: to cover the demonstrations (riots) to commemorate the one year [...]

Just the other day I posted about how impressed I was with both the LAPD and #OccupyLA. Well, LA has certainly taken an ugly turn over the last couple of days. On Wednesday night the LAPD overran the Occupy encampment that had taken root in the 1.7 acre park attached to the west side of [...]
