Daily Photo – Nice Fishing This is the beach in Nice, France and it seems to me to be one of the worst places to try and fish… well, obviously from a scenic point of view it’s a lovely place to fish but busy, noisy, filled with the remnants of the day’s sunbathers. If you […]

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 […]
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 […]

Kyoto Swimparty
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
Daily Photo – Kyoto Swimparty I’m usually too busy in these cities to go for a swim, since I’m running around with my hair on fire taking photos. I often think, gee willickers, I should really have a swim and a relax. But I almost never do! If I have a little extra time, I […]
Midnight Through 1,000 Gates
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
Machine Elves… Machine Elves Everywhere! Here’s a clip from the recent Joe Rogan podcast with Michael Pollan about his new book called “The is Your Brain on Plants.” Back when I named the new company “Machine Elf” it was a super niche word only known to a few that have ever seen them or at […]
The Little Pond Near my Home
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
Daily Photo – The Little Pond Near my Home I often walk over here around sunset to this little peaceful pond in Dalefield. You can’t tell from this angle, but it’s actually in the shape of a heart, which fits many of my Disney romantic fantasies. Speaking of which, I think Disney has messed up […]
Along the Beach in Nice
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
Daily Photo – Along the Beach in Nice While on the bus tour across Europe, we made a quick stop in Nice for breakfast and a beach walk. The beach is super popular, but the only bad thing is there is no sand. It’s one of those beaches with big rocks that makes walking a […]
Gaudi’s Masterpiece
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
Great Interview with Jason Silva and Erik Davis Daily Photo – Gaudi’s Masterpiece We were lucky to get a little bonus access to the Sagrada Familia and were able to get into the upper floors. These are quite hidden from the ground level and I never would have known they were there otherwise. I didn’t […]
The Magical Castle in Sintra
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
Daily Photo – The Magical Castle in Sintra If you ever make it to Portugal, but sure to go here to visit the Pina Palace. Planning ahead, you can reserve this whole place for a few hours of your own personal photography before the crowds come in. It’s not that touristy of a place anyway, […]
Daytime in Roppongi, Tokyo
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
Daily Photo – Daytime in Roppongi, Tokyo Here’s one of the first photos I took with my Hasselblad camera when I got to Tokyo. This is kind of a weird thing to like about that machine: the aspect ratio. I mean, it’s not that big of a deal because I can always crop them any […]
The Wizard’s Hat
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
Daily Photo – The Wizard’s Hat That’s not the official name of this cool rock structure in Skipper’s Canyon near Queenstown, but that’s what I call it. This road around the canyon has many little turnouts and stops where you can see cool formations. This one is right in the beginning, just as you are […]

Daily Photo – A sunset in Mont-Saint Michel While on the European Photo Tour, we stopped in Normandy for the evening while on the way to London. We parked the bus in a car park and I jumped out to walk along the coast to enjoy the sunset. It turned out to be a rather […]
Across the Beach in Okinawa
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
Daily Photo – Across the Beach in Okinawa Okinawa, although an island by itself as part of Japan, is like a country of its own. The culture there is like a small parallel universe of Japan, which is like its own parallel universe. The country does not have much of a “beach culture” where families […]
Secret Food Alley in Tokyo
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
Matt Berry Hilarious Reading I think this guy is hilarious… Daily Photo – Secret Food Alley in Tokyo This is one of my favorite little alleys in Tokyo, and it is very close to Shinjuku. I’ve been there a few times, but I often forget exactly where it is. Sometimes, I purposefully set out to […]

After Brunch in Nice
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
Daily Photo – After Brunch in Nice After we finished our photo walk in Barcelona, we decided to take the bus to Nice, France, to have brunch. That’s a cool thing about a tour bus, is you can kinda make up plans on the fly and the driver will take you there overnight. Then, you […]

Daily Photo – A Morning Walk in Glenorchy If you make it down to Glenorchy in the southern island of New Zealand, be sure to find this amazing walking path through the wetlands. It’s particularly beautiful in the morning just as the sun comes over the mountain to light everything with a yellow light. Another […]
