[ October 14, 2009; 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm. ] A&I Photography Hollywood Few things are as alluring, or seem as glamorous, as travel photography. From lush tropical jungles to windswept deserts and glorious ruins, travel photography promises adventure and immersion in exotic lands for both the photographer and their audience. But how do you get started? Continue reading El Nur: Capturing the Light of Foreign Lands On our last trip we docked near a small village in upper Egypt and went into the town (this is one of the advantages to sailing on a private dahabeya) where we ran across a wedding celebration. The local woman were dancing in the streets and they just spontaneously invited us to join them. It Continue reading HD Video: Wedding Celebration, Egyptian Village near Kom Ombo Here’s a 7 minute promo video about our private luxury Nile cruise-ship “The Afandina.” Spirit Quest Tours’ next three trips will feature this incredible experience.

We’ll doing a spiritual pilgrimage through Egypt and to Sinai, sailing the Nile Continue reading A Trip to Egypt: The Spirit of Moses During our last tour, with Houston Baptist University, I ran into my friend Robert Bauval over breakfast at the Mena House and he reminded about a spectacular phenomenon: the “solar rebirth” at the Temple of Karnak in Luxor which occurs at dawn on the morning of the winter solstice. I was familiar with this, but Continue reading Karnak Temple at Dawn Near the Winter Solstice Here’s a Flickr slideshow of some new shots of Luxor Temple (shot during Spirit Quest Tour’s recent HBU trip to Egypt and the Continue reading New Photos of Luxor Temple For the last eleven years in Egypt, independent travel to places like Abydos or Denderah was forbidden by the government. Numerous cities could only be visited by tourists who traveled together in armed convoys. Happily this decade-long restriction has been lifted. This might seem like ironic news in light of the recent horrific events in Continue reading Tourism as an Act of Bravery Here’s a video slide-show of hundreds of beautiful shots from our recent “Sacred Mandala Pilgrimage” to Continue reading Video from Spirit Quest Tours: The Spirit of Bali I’ve just discovered a terrific video streaming/sharing technology for HD video called Vimeo. Since we’re shooting and editing in High Definition these days I was extremely happy to find something that it offered much better quality than Google or You Tube (all the way up to streaming HD), and I decided to repost the “Spirit of Egypt” video using Continue reading HD Video from Spirit Quest Tours: The Spirit of Egypt |
