Exploring South America This is probably one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been. I knew it was going to be pretty beforehand, but I wasn’t really prepared for the non-stop grandeur of the landscapes. We chose the perfect time to go, right in the middle of Autumn. The backpacking took about twice as long as expected. I couldn’t stop myself from holding up every few minutes to set up for another photo. It was irresistible!  - Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
The Tetons, Revisited This area is not too far from Yellowstone. Just outside of the south exit, there is a fairly short drive to this area of Wyoming. It's on the way to Jackson Hole. This is also an amazing place if you are into Bison. There are hundreds and hundred of bison in this area. A free one was roaming about while I took this. They're actually quite dangerous for something that looks like a giant silly stuffed animal.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
Road to the Woolshed After shooting the sunset, the entire class and I walked down this road together to have dinner at the Wool Shed. It was a fun, catered event, and a great way to wrap up the week. We didn’t end up walking down the road at the same time. In fact, I’m surprised everyone found their way here. We were spread out all over creation (although I invited people to stay near me if they wished!). A few people stayed with me, but others went off to seek their fortune on other faraway hills around Bendemeer. I had trouble finding the spot, so maybe they did too!- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
 France, Through the Centuries I'll be arriving in France soon, and I can't wait.  There is something very comforting about some of these places where time seems to stand still through the ages.  Notre Dame on the Seine is one of these places.  I take photos every time I go... - Trey Ratcliff Read the rest of this here at the Stuck in Customs blog.
Alone at the Raging Waterfall of Gulfoss After two weeks of being alone I was getting a bit, shall we say, lonely. I was getting in the habit of waking up around 4 or 5 PM, having a leisurely dinner, and then jumping in the car to explore new parts of Iceland throughout the white nights.  On this particular day, I decided to head deep into the center of the island.  My goal was to go to the parts where all the major roads do not.Along that path, I arrived here at Gulfoss about 11 PM.  I've been here many times before, but there was always a few people around admiring the falls.  This time, I was alone.  It's so strange walking around a place like this while the sun is setting and no one is around.  The feeling is like those apocalypse movies where all humans have just disappeared...  just me... my gun... a trusty dog... maybe a few Icelandic elf-zombies lurking about...  the more and more time I spend alone, the more reasonable this begins to sound...- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
Play in Beverly Hills, Shop in Beverly Hills Well, those signs pretty much say it all.  The city council voted down the less-popular alternatives, "Get Mugged in Beverly Hills, Get Ladyboy Hookers in Beverly Hills".  Those were right out.While I was shooting this, a stretch limo pulled up beside me.  The driver and I had a nice conversation...  He had someone in the back, but the screen was up to keep out noise and wandering eyes.  - Trey Ratcliff Read the rest here at the Stuck in Customs blog.
The Lotus Sunrise These delicate shapes are seen on a variety of temples all over southeast Asia, India, and other parts of the Far East.  It is the shape of a Lotus Blossom, a timeless symbol, and it is repeated over and over here at Angkor Wat.  The lotus represents the purity of body, speech, and mind.  Like the lotus, these should float above the muddy waters of attachment and desire.  The shot was taken around 5 or 6 AM in the morning.  While shooting, I was attended to by a small Cambodian girl that would bring me strong Vietnamese coffee whenever I ran out, which was often.  I don't know where she would go to get it -- she would disappear off into the jungle and come walking calmly back every 15 minutes or so, smiling. - Trey Ratcliff Read more, including some info on my upcoming London photowalk (and vote on some locations for shots!) here at the Stuck in Customs blog.
The Wormhole Shanghai has this incredible tunnel that goes under the river to the Bund.  It's just wild inside!  They have a series of robotic trains that shuttle people back and forth.  Robotic doors whir open then shut again.  The front of the capsule has a bubble-window that allows for a stunning view as you dip below the river and back up again.  Colored lights in every lighting configuration fly by in beautiful colors.  This is an amazing experience that I recommend if you ever get to Shanghai!  - Trey Ratcliff Read the rest here at the Stuck in Customs blog.
