Korea Feature - Cover Shot

This month's (March) issue of Adventure Cyclist magazine features an article I wrote and photographed about bike touring in Korea.  I was pleased to see that an image of cycling-buddy G-Mack spinning along on "Squid Island"  75 miles off Korea's eastern coastline made the cover.  JIC you missed it, here's a link to a multi-media piece that I put together as a kinda "behind the scenes" look into making this article happen

Hawking 4x6s at the Taj Mahal

I virtually-bumped into a guy complaining about the state of professional photography last week.  He said something like "we're all better off slingin' 4x6s at the Taj Mahal"

I happened to be close to the Taj Mahal a few days ago so I decided to give his advice a try--even though 2010 is teeing up to be the best year of my career.  I must say that hawking photos at the Taj was pretty damn fun...somehow it made me realize how much I really love being a photographer. 

Here's some of the images:

Salsa Cycles New Branding Campaign

Salsa Cycles just launched their new web site and I'm pleased to see that some of the pictures I made for their company re-brand in Cambodia and Vietnam (with their new adventure touring bike, the Salsa Fargo) last Fall are starting to turn up on their homepage.

Have a look at both their new site and branding campaign here.

And thank you Kid for your insider's blog post regarding my KimChi trail video here.

The Road's Edge - On the Kimchi Trail Multimedia Video

Here's a first-look at a video that I put together as a "behind the scenes" multi-media short for an article I wrote for Adventure Cyclist Magazine.  It's about the bike tour I did around Korea last Fall with my partner in crime, G-Mack. The article comes out in the March issue of the Mag.

It's in High-Def., so select that option if you have a fast connection and expand the viewer to full-screen.

And please do take advantage of the free language lesson, "how to speak Korean in 3 hours or less."

Colombian Amazon Photo Essay

http://gbleakney.com/#/Wanderings/Amazonas%20Colombia/1http://gbleakney.com/#/Wanderings/Amazonas%20Colombia/1Last year, I traveled every inch of Colombia's border along the Amazon River.  My first written paper (in 3rd grade) was about "why I want to go to the Amazon"...it took me 29 years but was well worth the wait.
