Daily Photo – Attack of the Wolves I really doubt this guy would stand a chance against all these wolves. I mean, MAYBE he could take out 2 or 3… maybe 4 with a lucky swing. But, hey, maybe he’s an eternal optimist. I think that, while he is being eaten alive, he’ll be really […]

Hong Kong Nights
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
Daily Photo – Hong Kong Nights To get this look, I used my Movie Night Presets pack which I really recommend. It doesn’t work on all photos, but if you want to give your night photos a little bit of an interesting look, I recommend it. It’s heavily inspired by Blade Runner and a lot […]
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 […]
Preparing for the Santiago
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
Daily Photo – Preparing for the Santiago Here’s our group of winsome travelers before we begin the 100km hike from Portugal to Santiago. We were a very slow moving group, and that’s just the way we liked it. One of the surprises of the trip was how mediocre the food was. I was fully expecting […]
Walking in Dalefield
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
Daily Photo – Walking in Dalefield I went over to visit my friend and take some photos around Dalefield. This area is always pretty, but it really has some unique spots that are sprinkled around. Some are on private land, but people are generally cool with you walking around their land to take photos. I’m […]
Tokyo at Night
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
Daily Photo – Tokyo at Night Are there any bad photos of Tokyo at night? Well, actually, yes, and I’ve taken most of them. Those are the ones I delete to hide my secret shame. But, every now and then, I get a cool shot like this and that makes me feel good about myself […]
Heading to Tosca Di Angelo in Hong Kong
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
Daily Photo – Heading to Tosca Di Angelo in Hong Kong When we started the tour across Asia, we began here at the Ritz-Carlton in Hong Kong. It’s quite the showpiece! All of these hotels are nice, but this one was like extra-ritzy. This is one of the restaurants there called Tosca Di Angelo. The […]
Midnight in Koh Samui
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
Daily Photo – Midnight in Koh Samui I stayed here at the Ritz-Carlton and the architecture and scenery were amazing. I have a great deal with them where I get to stay for free (plus some $$ cash), and, in exchange I give them about 10 photos of each location. There is no requirement for […]

Along the coast in Gisborne
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
Daily Photo – Along the coast in Gisborne I was lucky enough to spend about two weeks out there taking photos for a commissioned work. I don’t do a lot of commissions, but this one was pretty epic. I took about 1,000 photos and whittled it down to my favorite 10 to present. This one, […]

Moody Clouds over the Great Wall of China
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
Daily Photo – Moody Clouds over the Great Wall of China We illegally camped out on top of the Wall, but we didn’t realize it was illegal until our guide dropped us off and ran away. He told us what to do if the military came to get us, but this didn’t exactly inspire the […]
Queenstown Gardens
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
Daily Photo – Queenstown Gardens New Zealand has great gardens in pretty much every city. I suppose this is part of the British influence because the USA has very few elaborate gardens like the ones here. Luckily, this one is only about 10 minutes from my home so it’s a great place to go for […]
Hotpot Dining in Chengdu
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
Great Video on Darkness Retreats I just finished watching this illuminating video on darkness retreats. I think I’ll try one. Daily Photo – Hotpot Dining in Chengdu Chengdu is famous for its hotpot restaurants, which basically means you have a pot in the middle of the table and everyone dumps various ingredients inside to cook. […]
Exploring Mosques in Kuala Lumpur
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
Daily Photo – Exploring Mosques in Kuala Lumpur While in KL, we visited a few different mosques. One of the ladies from the Ritz-Carlton was with me and all women need to wear these cloak things. It’s one of those strange religious things that never make sense to me. I know Islam is a fairly […]
Do Not Enter
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
Daily Photo – Do Not Enter How cool is this little pirate cave? I was boating around a bunch of the smaller islands near Krabi, Thailand and came across this little cave. I really wanted to go in anyway, especially when I see a sign that says “Do Not Enter” – that only makes me […]
Monni at the Pond
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
Daily Photo – Monni at the Pond While we were out on the farm, every day we’d hike to a different spot to grab photos. I thought this mountaintop tarn (is it a tarn?) looked pretty incredible and I asked Monni to go stand over there to give it some scale. I don’t often add […]
Floating in Singapore
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
Daily Photo – Floating in Singapore Pretty much the only reason this place exists is for Instagram photos. I guess there is nothing wrong with that, but it does get a little annoying watching people do the same poses over and over again. I mean, you can take like 30 or 45 seconds… but 10+ […]
The UNIQLO Store
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
Passport Sunday Edit Day If you’re one of our awesome Passport Members then you’ll get a fun, quick, and easy tutorial that shows how I made today’s photo. Uniqlo Processing Today I do a pretty extreme treatment with a little overexposure trick at the end to make all the people feel a little more surreal. […]
Queenstown from the Remarkables
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
Daily Photo – Queenstown from the Remarkables I don’t actually head up this road too much because I’m not much of a skier and snowboarder. If anything, I drive up it to go on little hike and take photos. It does give a pretty good overview of Queenstown, though. Queenstown is kind of right in […]
