George Schaub  |  Jul 01, 2010  |  1 comments

The question always becomes: how much gear can I get away with when I carry my camera and laptop on-board an aircraft?

The best way to make sure there are no hassles and no suspense on your part—flying is stressful...

Shutterbugs And The Travel Bug
George Schaub  |  Jul 01, 2010  |  0 comments

Photography and travel have always been inextricably linked. As soon as a camera could be hauled about, by mule, porter, or on the back of the photographer, pictures from every locale were made.

John Rettie  |  Jul 01, 2010  |  2 comments

I woke up startled—I was about to cross the border into North Korea. I was cramped; it felt like I was stuffed in economy class on a bad airline. It was so bad I could hear the rain pounding away outside. It was pitch black. Worse yet, I did not have my passport with me. What was going to happen to me? As I came to, I realized I was not dreaming anymore.
