The Infinite City at Sunrise A crystal clear day in Shanghai… I had to whip out the camera for the occasion! - Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
Bistrot de Lyon I went out to dinner with a bunch of cool Russians after the conference on Tuesday. We went down one of the most popular streets in Lyon to have some seafood. Afterwards, the founder of this other company and I went out to shoot photos.. I think we walked the streets for about 3 hours until 2 AM. It was a big mistake since my flight left early the next morning! Although, it is better than going out drinking with the Russians… - Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
The Artist Takes a Break In Buenos Aires, there is a very artsy area called La Boca.  It's filled with tiny little studios, restaurants, tango in the streets, and all kinds of life.  The colors are bright and vibrant, so, of course, I went crazy with my camera there.  While exploring, I found this cool artist's studio on the second floor of an interior section.  I had on my 24-70mm, and I was admiring her studio at f2.4.  Then, by luck, she came to the window to peer out.  I grabbed a quick one.This was edited with Nik Software, so I took this opportunity to write a Nik Review for y'all!  It's very cool software, and I have put a bunch of new images inside of there...  Many of them are "in progress", and might not show up in their final form on the blog for a few weeks.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
The Trouble with Iceland is That There is None This is a river fed by the high mountains of Iceland.  I took a trek across a field on a hunch that the river would have some nice curves and reflections.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
Stampede of the Wild Horses After a long hike through the mountains of Yellowstone, I came across over 40 horses sprinting from one meadow to the next.  I stepped behind a tree to get out of the way and shot this one.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
Magnetic Anomaly in Yellowstone on the Solstice I didn't change the colors here!!!!  Let's get that right out of the way.  I came to visit a friend in Yellowstone National Park over the weekend and for a few days next week.  He has a beautiful ranch on the edge of the park in Montana and is inviting up a fairly eclectic group of intellectuals, mostly associated around various Libertarian think-tanks with which I am involved.  I know it all sounds a bit heady, but it's one of my fun academic cerebral diversions.  There are daily and nightly TED-like talks from plant biologists, entrepreneurs, geneticists, paleontologists, artists, and yours truly (who is giving a possibly-in-comparison presentation on humans evolving into a super-organism via online games and social networks).The picture here was taken on the summer solstice in thin-crusted geothermal hotbed of the Norris Geysers.  This particular place was not too far from something called the "whirlygig" (or somesuch).The various colors are made from two merging rivers, each one with a dramatically different temperature.  Different color bacteria live in each temperature of water - the red bacteria was over 160 degrees  and the green was below 160. If anyone else was there during this same time, they can confirm the quirky nature of these dual rivers running in the same channel!- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
Heart of Satan  What it looks like when fireworks explode inside of a storm cloud over a river.On this particular night, there was one of those looming thunderstorms, when the clouds are alarmingly low to the ground and black/green in color.  They launched the fireworks from the same spot as usual, but they would actually explode inside the cloud.  The lower half would burst downward, carrying a trail of fire behind it.  The scene reminded me of a giant electric jellyfish of sorts.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
This is Secret I found her walking with her hooded ilk around the back streets of Mumbai.  Usually when I see a cadre of the enshrouded, they are accompanied by Muslim man that is glaring at almost everyone.  This time there seemed to be no alpha around, so I asked her for her name.  She looked at me and smiled (I think) and then looked furtively around to see if anyone was watching.  I got the distinct impression that since I was a white oddity that actually spoke to her that she wanted to talk, but then thought better of it and made a slight bow before gliding away.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
The Grassy Roof in the Central Icelandic Farms While driving from one side of Iceland to the other in what was supposed to be winter, I spent a fair amount of time in the grassy inlands where some sort of heat inversion kept the ground green and fertile.  I came across a few of these homes with these thick peat grassy rooftops.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.

The Artist Takes a Break


In Buenos Aires, there is a very artsy area called La Boca. It's filled with tiny little studios, restaurants, tango in the streets, and all kinds of life.

This was edited with Nik Software, so I took this opportunity to write a Nik Review for y'all! It's very cool software, and I have put a bunch of new images inside of there... Many of them are "in progress", and might not show up in their final form on the blog for a few weeks.
