HANDS AROUND THE WORLD
Rather than photographing faces, photographing hands around the world helps to show the range of talents, skills and cultures we encounter when we travel.
USING REPETITION IN COMPOSITION
Using repetition in composition is a great exercise to practice when you’re photographing new scenes. Read about what to look for in this blog post.
STREET PHOTOGRAPHY IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES
One of the most challenging, yet fascinating genres of photography is street photography. Read photographer Laurie Cohen’s advice on the Think Orange blog.
USING A VPN WHEN YOU TRAVEL
When we travel out of North America, we don’t always take our Internet freedoms with us. Using a VPN when you travel will help make things feel like home.
PHOTOGRAPHING PEOPLE IN ASIA
As a Westerner spending time in Asia, I am often drawn to the everyday sights around me. I don’t mean the temples and monuments or historical sites. I am drawn to the neighborhood streets and regular people who walk them.
ICELAND+CUBA (14 DAYS OF DISCOVERY)
ICELAND+CUBA (14 DAYS OF DISCOVERY): Can you imagine experiencing and photographing these two polar opposite countries, back to back in 14 days time? BTW, we’ve conveniently included an overnight stay on the island of Manhattan while traveling between Iceland and Cuba. So technically that’s three islands in 14 days.
CHASING THE MILKY WAY IN THE DOLOMITES
CHASING THE MILKY WAY IN THE DOLOMITES: Do you know that 80% of humans can’t see the stars anymore? Light pollution is a sad phenomenon of our present-day civilization. In Europe one has to search the mountains for clear skies, while in the United States there is still some dark places where the night sky is more visible. Allow me to show you the real night sky, and hopefully, it will inspire you to go out at night to chase the Milky Way…
EXCITING NEW ADVENTURES & UPDATES
EXCITING NEW ADVENTURES & UPDATES – I would like to take this time to tell you about several exciting changes we’ve made at PWA.

WORLD PHOTO DAY
WORLD PHOTO DAY – This past Saturday we celebrated WORLD PHOTO DAY by paying tribute to our amazing team of talented photographers from around the world. Our campaign ran throughout the day on Facebook and Instagram and was so successful that we decided to share the collection on Think Orange™. Please explore and enjoy, and feel free to share.
ALGILA ORTIGIA CHARME HOTEL
ALGILA ORTIGIA CHARME HOTEL – Our preferred hotel in Syracuse on our Sicily Photo Adventure, and the one we love the most is the Algilà Ortigia Charme Hotel on Ortigia Island in Syracuse, Sicily. There is something very special about the Algilà. We stay at hundreds of hotels around the world on our photo adventures, and Algilà is right up there with some of the best. Perhaps it’s the European elegance, charm and wonderful location, combined with the level of comfort often found in bed & breakfasts.
