Turkey - The Photo Journal (July/Aug 2004) : "Often I feel I go to some distant region of the world to be reminded of who I really am. There is no mystery about why this should be so. Stripped of your ordinary surroundings, your friends, your daily routines, your refrigerator full of your food, your closet full of your clothes-with all this taken away, you are forced into direct experience. Such direct experience inevitably makes you aware of who it is that is having the experience. That’s not always comfortable, but it is always invigorating. I eventually realized that direct experience is the most valuable experience I can have. Western man is so surrounded by ideas, so bombarded with opinions, concepts, and information structures of all sorts, that it becomes difficult to experience anything without the intervening filter of these structures. And the natural world – our traditional source of direct insights – is rapidly disappearing. Modern city-dwellers cannot even see the stars at night. This humbling reminder of man’s place in the greater scheme of things, which human beings formerly saw once every twenty-four hours, is denied them. It’s no wonder that people lose their bearings, that they lose track of who they really are, and what their lives are really about. So travel has helped me to have direct experiences and to know more about myself." - Michael Creighton – “Travels” To Order, Please Contact me by Phone at 512-228-0995 or by email at greg@gregdavisphotography.com

South Africa - The Photo Journal (Aug/Sept 2004) : "Not a shred of evidence exists that wandering is irresponsible. One trip can change everything, and every trip should try. Attack boredom. Boredom is the fiery assassin. Sadly, modern humankind has become a prisoner of time and technology. We've been seduced into abandoning our innermost nomadic callings. The art of traveling is ancient, like cave art. A fresh nomad steps onto a globe that's been spinning for an unfathomable cycle of generations before he or she even opts to make the move. When it comes to choosing to stay or go, you've got to know who's talking - your heart, your mind, or perhaps your DNA. You don't need to know what your predecessors found while wandering about - but you wonder, what were they looking for, and what did they find? Hints and cues have been passed down from generation to generation, to the people you will meet traveling. You can't learn it ALL, but go meet them - and dare mighty things. Today is a gift." - Bruce Northam - "Globetrotter Dogma" To Order, Please Contact me by Phone at 512-228-0995 or by email at greg@gregdavisphotography.com

Swaziland and Mozambique - The Photo Journal (Oct 2004) : "Even in literature and art, no man who bothers about originality will never be original: whereas if you simply try to tell the truth (without caring twopence how often it has been told before) you will, nine times out of ten, become original without ever having noticed." - CS Lewis.

Nepal - The Photo Journal (November 2004) : "A Master in the Art of Living draws no distinction between his work and his play, his labor and his leisure, his mind and his body, his education and his recreation, his love and his religion. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence through whatever he is doing and leaves others to determine whether he is working or playing. To himself, he is always doing both." - quote from the Zen Buddhist Texts To Order, Please Contact me by Phone at 512-228-0995 or by email at greg@gregdavisphotography.com

India - The Photo Journal (Nov/Dec 2004) : "Don’t know squat? What gets lost, I think, amid all the fretting and complaining about toilets in the so-called Third World is this: it’s just a hole. A hole, and nothing more. It’s an undeniably elegant design, brilliant in its simplicity – a place to poop, I posit, that far surpasses anything we have in the US. This notion is reinforced on almost all of my trips. Usually, the last place I use the bathroom in the US is at the airport. You know the type of stall – one where you have to place a sheet of what looks like deli paper on the seat, and the lower yourself gingerly down so the paper doesn’t become a slip’n’slide, and then sit there while the electric eye flush mechanism is triggered three or four times for no apparent reason, often dampening your nether regions, and then, of course, with all this careful hygienity, you have to grab the lock on the stall door – the one spot you can be certain that every unwashed hand has been placed – and then head to the sinks and hope the electric eyes work there, and then finally, dispense yourself a paper towel by grabbing a level that, once again, everyone has touched, thereby negating your hand washing. After I land – in Africa, Asia or South America – my toilet facilities usually consist of this: a hole. A hole, and nothing more. A place where no fleshy parts make contact with any toilet parts. Why it’s no common knowledge that Third World toilets are superior to all other toilets comes down to one notion – we don’t know squat. That is, we don’t know how to squat. We come from a baseball land – we squat like catchers, up on our toes. This is wrong. Proper hole-squatting technique demands a flat-footed stance. It’s difficult at first, I’ll confess, but if you work on it at home it’ll soon become second nature. So, first get the squat down. Next, go travel. And then you, too, will learn to love the hole."

Thailand - The Photo Journal (January 2005) : "Very many people spend money in ways quite different from those that their natural tastes would enjoin, merely because the respect of their neighbors depends upon their possession of a good car and their ability to give good dinners. As a matter of fact, any man who can obviously afford a good car but genuinely prefers travels or a good library will in the end be much more respected than if he behaved exactly like everyone else."-Bertrand Russell To Order, Please Contact me by Phone at 512-228-0995 or by email at greg@gregdavisphotography.com
