When you return from a trip, do you like to wait a little bit before looking through your photos, or do you open them right away? I admit that I like seeing my photos right away while the memories are fresh – but I also make sure to to revisit those folders several months down the line to sort through the images I might have missed the first time, once the “newness” has worn off. In that spirit, even though I recently returned from a big trip to Nepal, here’s a photo from last year’s Badlands roadtrip that I just found again this week.

I’ve just returned from Tanzania—a fantastic trip, made of 5:00 AM wake-up calls, dust, waist-high grass, and a ton of animals. And photographically speaking? Pure paradise. In this diary, I’ll share my day-by-day experience.
