Daily Photo – Stewing Away It looks like this lion is just kind of naturally angry. I suppose that is some sort of a natural selection trait. Lions that look super friendly and happy may be easily slain by other lions. However, I wonder if animals that look happier (like dolphins and dogs) are actually […]

Boat Action in Thailand
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
Daily Photo – Boat Action in Thailand Out on the island of Koh Samui, pretty much everyone seemed to have a boat, and pretty much everyone had a perfect upper body from moving the boat around all day. I thought, man, it might be fun to move here for a year and just get in […]
The Ritz-Carlton in Tianjin
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
Daily Photo – The Ritz-Carlton in Tianjin These hotels are always nice, and the Chinese sometimes take them to the next level of palatial. This is not even a ballroom or anything. It’s just one of a ton of different hallways… I’m amazed at the level of decor and quality in these places. It reminds […]
The Watering Hole
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
Daily Photo – The Watering Hole We found a beautiful tree in Botswana where we decided to have a picnic in the wild while we waited on elephants. We didn’t know if they would actually come by, but, lo and behold, they did. There must have been about 50 of them, a collection of a […]

Machine Elf 37 in 360! Here is the epic 360 version of Machine Elf 37 – String Theory. You can watch on YouTube and aim the camera in any direction. If you have a fast connection, and a powerful system I recommend choosing the 8K version. Enjoy, and for an even cooler experience, check out […]

Awesome People in Madagascar
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
Daily Photo – Awesome People in Madagascar Here’s another photo I got with my Pixel 4 while I was stuck for a few days without my big boy camera. Air Madagascar lost our luggage for a few days and I had forgotten to hand-carry my Sony. This sucked, but it also forced me to use […]
Afternoon Autumn Walks
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
Daily Photo – Afternoon Autumn Walks Another day in Autumn means another day for a walk to a new place. I feel really lucky that all these places are just a short walk from home. One of my favorite things about New Zealand are all the various sorts of trees… and they all go through […]
Floating Over and Under the Farm
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
Daily Photo – Floating Over and Under the Farm Here is another photo from Gisborne that I took with the drone. It wasn’t until I got high above this estuary when I realized even more beautiful shapes. It reminds me that I should really get that drone up and out more to see all the […]
Walking on the Dock
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
Photos in New Zealand I just saw this funny video about people that take the same photos over and over again in New Zealand. Daily Photo – Walking on the Dock I probably should have photoshopped all the bird poop off that cool dock first… I don’t know why I didn’t. It would have taken […]
Sunset on the Farm
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
Daily Photo – Sunset on the Farm We spent about two weeks at this amazing farm in Gisborne where I was taking photos on a commission. The first week or so, the weather was terrible and there was little or no sun. It made for some very moody and cool photos, but I was really […]
Editing Photos from the Singapore Bar
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
Editing Older Mobile Phone Photos I’ve been having a great time going through older photos I got on my mobile phone and processing them in Aurora. If you’re a Passport Member, then today, you’ll get to see me edit these two previous photos from Singapore. I went a little extreme with the HDR, but I […]
Anachronisms in the Steampunk Museum
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
Daily Photo – Anachronisms in the Steampunk Museum When I was in Oamaru, New Zealand, I stopped at this rather eclectic Steampunk Museum. It was a quirky place, for sure, as one might expect. There were a bunch of asian tourists there dressing up in Victorian steampunk outfits, and I found the whole scene to […]
The Angels Watched Over Me But Only Gave me Octopus
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
Comparison of the new Sony A1 with my camera When Sony announces a new camera and I explore the specs in the press release, it’s honestly too much for me to assess compared to my currently Address a7R Mark 3, so I use this site to compare the two. After seeing this, the only advantage […]
Exploring Tara Iti
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
Daily Photo – Exploring Tara Iti I’m working on a cool project for Tara Iti and I’m excited for it to move forward. I think I’m working on too many art projects right now. They are all moving forward, a little more slowly than expected. But, that’s okay… I’ve never been working on so many […]
Over the Farmland
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
Cool Art from Pulse What a clever idea this is! Daily Photo – Over the Farmland While I was in Gisborne, I got my quadcopter up and around to explore the hillside as much as possible. I hiked around these hills quite a bit, but that gets to be quite exhausting. So, instead, I decided […]
Cool Kids Hanging in Madagascar

Machine Elf 83 – Clockwork Zimmer | Trey Ratcliff & Hans Zimmer Music In my journeys into the DMT spirit world of impossible unfolding geometries where I encounter everything from machine elf entities to understanding the slippery veil of life, I’ve seen and felt all sorts of things. This is one of my new favorite […]
Midtown Manhattan
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
New Fuji 100-megapixel camera Man, I must say… I don’t really want to jump the Sony ship to get on the Fuji ship, but this new camera looks pretty dang sweet! Daily Photo – Midtown Manhattan It was one of the final stops on our worldwide tour, and New York City was a great place […]
Lighthouse with the Pixel phone
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
Daily Photo – Lighthouse with the Pixel 4 phone No, this is not product placement for the Google phone! I just love this thing so much and I think it’s fun to share photos with it. It’s not as awesome as my Sony, but, honestly, 99% of the general public who knows nothing about cameras […]
Dalefield in the Autumn
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
Daily Photo – Dalefield in the Autumn I would try to go on hikes every single day in while I was in lockdown. Luckily, it was only about 8 weeks of lockdown here in NZ and it was the middle of Autumn, so that made for some very nice scenery. Every day, I would try […]
