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 […]
Abu Dhabi, UAE
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
I arrived at the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque just before the sun was setting and it was absolutely majestic. To get these kind of shots, I need to use a tripod, and I often get in trouble for using my tripod, so I was a bit worried they were going to kick me out. I […]
Worship
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
A new NFT Collection on Foundation Sometimes in moments of fear, or from fear of death, the root from which all fear begins, people turn to faith and religion to try to give it all some sort of meaning. As I’ve traveled around to all seven continents, I’ve talked to many people I meet about […]
Flat Earth. New Zealand.
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
Daily Photo – Flat Earth. New Zealand. I always have weird and surreal experiences on this golf course. Firstly, of course I take my camera all over the place along with my clubs so that looks a bit odd to everyone. Also, as it is a private club there is often no-one else nearby on […]
Up and Away. USA.
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
Daily Photo – Up and Away. USA. I was lucky enough to be invited by NASA to the final few launches of the Space Shuttle. Wow that really was one of the most impressive things I’ve ever witnessed. What really surprised me is when the wall of sound hit me and how it shook my […]
Distant Mist. Iceland.
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
Daily Photo – Distant Mist. Iceland. While in Iceland, I traveled through a lowlands area early in the morning. A mist, a video game like mist, started moving quickly across the ground and through the distant hillocks. It was all so surreal that I barely remembered that I should be taking a photo of this. […]
The Blues. New Zealand.
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
I wish I lived closer to this lake in Tekapo so I could go out there more often to see all the pretty sunsets across the glacier-fed blue water. Whenever I do drive back and forth to Christchurch, though, I usually stop here for a bit! It’s actually one of the reasons I prefer the […]

A few months back art3.io and the British Journal of Photography got in touch about an online exhibition and auction they were putting together which focused on life during the pandemic. This is the image that I chose to submit and you can see the OpenSea […]
The First Time I Ate Horse. Iceland.
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
Daily Photo – The First Time I Ate Horse. Iceland. My friend Helga has been wonderful enough to invite me to her farm in Iceland many times. It’s always a fun trip up to the north to see her. But I always get a little lost. Finding the particular turn-in along this fjord is constantly […]
Until the Cows Come Home. New Zealand.
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
Daily Photo – Until the Cows Come Home. New Zealand. The South Island of New Zealand is absolutely huge. It looks tiny on the map, but it feels as big as California. Something else that makes it feel so big is hardly anyone lives on the South Island, so you can literally drive for hours […]
Bora Bora Bora. Bora Bora.
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
Daily Photo – Bora Bora Bora. Bora Bora. Here in Tahiti is one of the first places I took my family on an exotic location. The kids loved it. They basically stayed in the water 100% of the time. When I wasn’t playing with them, I would sneak away to take photos of this incredible […]
Geothermal Genie. Iceland.
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
Daily Photo – Geothermal Genie. Iceland. I’ve never really been the kind of person that attaches too much mystical meaning to shapes, but in this picture, I think I see a genie coming out of that geothermal vent. This was shot in Iceland on a rather chilly day. Here’s a fun fact. “Geysir” is the […]
