These images will be added to the database as soon as possible.

You can see some of these images already in the existing galleries for the USA, Canada, and Australia.

The countries visited were England, France, Germany, Czech Republic, Austria, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Turkey, Iran, India, Nepal, China, Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, and Australia. The journey took seven months, and in that time Tim took many thousands of new images for his portfolio. If you are interested in any specific shots along the way, please contact him.
After spending a few months in Australia visiting friends and camping through the Nullarbor Plain, and a month in Sri Lanka on assignment at a top Seafood Processing company, he spent 6 months in India, enjoying a once-in-a-lifetime visit to the celebrations at the Kumbh Mela Festival near Allahabad with an estimated 100 million other attendees, then headed to the Himalayas and completed the Char Dham Yatra just days before the 2013 floods struck.
Currently, Tim is on a round-the-world adventure visiting the Ukraine, Armenia, Turkey, Tajikistan, Afghanistan, Thailand, Myanmar, Brunei, South Korea, New Zealand, quite a few Pacific islands, and possibly a bit of Central America too. If you are interested in any specific shots or assignments along the way, please contact him.
