Tattooed Girl with Umbrella One hard thing about Burning Man is not "getting used to" everything around you. Believe it or not, after a few days, seeing interesting people wearing crazy clothes and doing wonderful things becomes quite commonplace. It's kind of like living inside a non-stop Cirque-de-soleil!I was riding by on my bike and there was another photographer taking photos of this girl. He had just finished, so I swooped in, jumped off my bike, and took a quick photo. I felt a little bad about jumping in at the end of his photoshoot, but I figured that the Burning-Man-chill-attitude would make everything okay... and I think it did!- Trey RatcliffRead the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
The Man Burns I was able to get up on a crane during the main event at Burning Man. Before I got on, they made 100% sure (and then double-checked) that everyone had gone to the bathroom. Once you are up on the crane, you're up there for two hours. I can only assume the crane operator was very serious about this because the worst-possible situation had occurred during an earlier Burning Man when he was at ground-level.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of the post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
Across the Top of the Old Village The old town of Lijiang has these old rooflines that go forever to the horizon. Part of the problem getting up above the roofline is, well, getting up above the roofline. You have to head a bit out of town and walk up a hill to get this perspective. I found the spot thanks to Stuck On Earth.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
The Village of Lijiang I tried to get this shot for almost a week!It turns out there is a hill/mountain that requires significant planning and calories to ascend for this dusky time falls. And I kept miscalculating the time with Tom. We always thought the sunset would be a little later than it was. And then we would start to get up into position, and we realized it was too late -- so we went to go do something else instead.This evening, I would snap a few photos and then sit down with my sketch pad and work on a few drawings. I'd wait about 10 minutes for the light to change between photos... and it was nice just to listen to music and play around with some sketching-ideas...- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the entire post at the Stuck in Customs blog.

Old Man on Steps near Drum Tower While I was circling the Drum Tower in Beijing, there was a small community of people that were outside exercising, milling around, talking, and watching the world go by. Many of the homes in the little houtong had their doors painted red, and that was a common element that tied everything together. I had my hip-shooter with me too so I could capture this one.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of the post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
The Nest I took this photo while I was outside another tower in the open air with Joe McNally. It was a great time.. It was also a bit scary.For this one, I took my 28-300 and turned it upright to portrait mode and zoomed in quite tight. I liked the way the layers of the city stacked upon one another into the distance, and that was lost in the wide-angle landscape mode.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the entire post on the Stuck in Customs blog.
Father and Daughter in Beijing I was in one of my favorite artsy/bohemian areas of Beijing with my D3S doing some people-photography. It’s some of the best people-watching in the world around there.This area is full of all sorts of galleries, shops, curio-stores, antique shops, and other various unique Chinese shopping. The crowd ranges from the wildly artistic to families out on a little escapade. While I was weaving through the crowd myself, I spied this father and daughter walking in my direction…- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
Neo-Gypsy in the Desert I was walking across the playa at Burning Man with Tom when we came across this gypsy of sorts. She was kind of dancing through the desert eating a bag of chips. That was surreal and everything, but then it felt even stranger when she pulled out her iPhone to make a few notes about our meeting. She typed in stuckincustoms.com so she would be sure to visit when she got back to civilization.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
