Daily Photo – Symmetry Sabotage I think photographers often spend time setting up shots to be as symmetrical as possible… i certainly do. Then you get back and notice that some administrator has put a big sign in the area… hey, administrators, can you not just add a second? If the architect a few hundred […]

Mirror Stairs
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
Daily Photo – Mirror Stairs I love it when designers get to go a bit nuts around escalators. I don’t mind if it’s some sort of classic architecture vibe, or something wild like this one in Tokyo. So much fun and way better than your average staircase! Mirror Stairs Photo Information Date Taken2013-10-03 09:21:29 CameraNEX-7 […]

Exploring the Future (and fear of the new)
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
Daily Photo – Exploring the Future (and fear of the new) I think it’s probably obvious to those who read this blog, even occasionally, that I’m delving deep into NFTs. One of the more interesting aspects of the whole experience has been the negativity towards them from some people. It reminds me a lot of […]
Exploring Tibidabo
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
Daily Photo – Exploring Tibidabo It’s not often that people pair churches with amusement parks. Maybe that is the way forward for religion though given numbers are dropping all over the place. Lure in the kids… Speaking of Tibidabo it reminds me of Friends, which reminds me of my Russian friend Olya who learned a […]
Milan Styles
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
I was looking back through my photos from Milan recently and it served as a good reminder of just how much styles can change. Below you’ll find 2 images from my trips to Milan, one from 2006 and one from 2017. Ahhh… 2017, the good old days when travel was easy… 2006 2017 Just a […]
Brihadishvara Temple
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
Daily Photo – Brihadishvara Temple When we toured India a few years ago as part of a wider journey, one of the goals was to visit a range of religious locations. They are always interesting from an architecture point of view but broadening the kid’s knowledge was also beneficial. Here (i think!) is a section […]
Phoenix Ancient Town at Night
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
Daily Photo – Phoenix Ancient Town at Night If you ever make it to China, try to take a week or so to explore the more rural areas. Some of my best adventures have been outside Beijing, Shanghai and the like. Even the Great Wall is in many ways better in the more overgrown parts. […]
Temple of Psychedelic Awakening, Burning Man
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
Daily Photo – Temple of Psychedelic Awakening, Burning Man Every year Burning Man has a different “temple” that represents a wide range of spiritual groundings. While not the official temple, this “Totem of Confessions” held some of Timothy Leary’s ashes that Susan Sarandon brought along. I think she just travels with lots of ashes of […]
Prambanan, Indonesia
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
Daily Photo – Prambanan, Indonesia A huge storm was washing over Java just as I arrived here at Prambanan just outside of Yogyakarta in Indonesia. One thing I’ve come to know about big storms in the late afternoon: if you’re patient, you may end up with a crazy sunset. It rarely happens, but if the […]
Cologne, Germany
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
I walked into this amazing cathedral and was amazed to see this surrealist scene. On a huge screen, they were showing deep views of the universe while atmospheric Phillip Glass music droned heavily, bouncing and echoing around the stone. People would sit in the pews and just watch slow animations of the universe unfolding. There […]
Hagia Sophia, Turkey
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
Daily Photo – Hagia Sophia, Turkey The Hagia Sophia in Istanbul is like no other religious structure in the world. It was originally the patriarchal cathedral of Constantinople and has gone through many changes over time. For a while, it was the city’s Catholic cathedral and then after the fall of the Ottoman Empire, it […]
The Temple of Heaven, China
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
Daily Photo – The Temple of Heaven, China The Temple of Heaven is one of the most famous pilgrimage destinations for Chinese people who come to Beijing to visit structures upon the central axis. It was originally built in the 1400’s. I was invited by the Chinese government to come take special photos of their […]
The Basilica de la Sagrada Familia, Spain
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
Daily Photo – The Basilica de la Sagrada Familia, Spain Gaudi’s masterpiece here in Barcelona is probably the most stunning religious structure I’ve ever been inside. I was lucky and I was given special access to a few areas only the Pope gets to visit. He has like is own “Papal Balcony” where he can […]
Kyiv, Ukraine
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
Daily Photo – Kyiv, Ukraine Ukraine is a strange place to take photos. I was in Kyiv for a few days while on a journey to photograph Chernobyl, so I took some time to wander around the city. It was the middle of winter and the snow was up past my knees. I found this […]

The Disney Store in Shanghai
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
Daily Photo – The Disney Store in Shanghai This entire area of Pudong completely empties out at night. I was like literally the only person walking around the streets. It was kind of eerie in a post-apocalyptic kind of way. It did make for some great photos… I just had on my earphones and was […]
