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 […]

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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Cute Kids in Africa
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
Daily Photo – Cute Kids in Africa How adorable are these kids? I’m not sure where they get these shirts, and I’m 100% sure they don’t speak English, but how cool is that kid in the middle that is wearing that shirt that says “Chicks Dig Me.” It’s true, probably. Just by wearing that shirt […]
Waterfall Along the Routeburn
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
Daily Photo – Waterfall Along the Routeburn I think we passed this on the very first day of the Routeburn track along the South Island of New Zealand. I had a feeling we’d pass a few waterfalls, but I didn’t expect anything quite this majestic. It was one of those cool waterfalls where basically everyone […]
Art Tour in Shanghai
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
Daily Photo – Art Tour in Shanghai Here’s a rarely visited area of Shanghai where this old factory has been converted into an art space. Unfortunately, we got there too late and we could only kinda look through the window. There was a lot of contemporary art in there that looked completely confusing, so it’s […]

Lighting Lamps in Shanghai
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
Daily Photo – Lighting Lamps in Shanghai As part of my “thing” with the Ritz-Carlton, they let me take whatever photos I want to take, which is great! They usually have a few suggestions here and there that might be photogenic. Some are good ideas, and some kind of come out to be duds. Anyway, […]

Prepping for the Shanghai Photo Walk
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
Daily Photo – Prepping for the Shanghai Photo Walk This monolith along the Bund, Shanghai is where the whole group met for the photo walk while on the Asia tour. Besides all the great people I met there, it was also amazing to run into Liam Gowing, who was a guy I went to Jesuit […]
Air-Conditioned Singapore
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
Daily Photo – Air Conditioned Singapore Singapore can get up to over 100 degrees for a lot of the year, so someone came up with the idea to put cold air conditioning in this outside mall. I think my electricity bill is big, but I can’t even imagine what this one is! To tell the […]
Random Walk Around Beijing
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
Daily Photo – Random Walk Around Beijing When I got to Beijing a day early, I decided just to get lost and walk around randomly. It’s incredibly safe there, so there was no danger except for a few crazy drivers and wild people on bicycles. It’s one of my favorite places to take street photos, […]

Moody day on the East Coast
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
Daily Photo – Moody day on the East Coast New Zealand has such a beautiful coastline. You just can’t go wrong no matter where you are. You either get stunning beaches or dramatic cliffs. This was my first time exploring the East Coast so I was naturally quite excited to see how different it was […]

Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
Daily Photo – The Milky Way in Gisborne For most of my first week in Gisborne, the weather was terrible and rainy. This was our first crystal clear night… so I made the best of it by staying up till about 4 AM taking photos… I kind of wanted to stay awake all the way […]
Lonely Clouds and Trees at the Hills
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
Daily Photo – Lonely Clouds and Trees at the Hills I think maybe photographers have a particularly fun life because perhaps we notice things more than other people. I mean, I see non-photographers notice interesting things too, but I am usually thinking, “Yeah, I saw that ages ago.” Haha… not in a dismissive way, but […]
