Travel Photos & Musings By Nathan W. Allen
I was in the Philippines during Typhoon Yolanda. I weathered the storm with a family in Legazpi, about 250kms away from the epicenter, Tacloban City. I volunteered doing repacking afterward, but at the time, was not allowed to visit the city. 3 years later, I finally got my chance. I flew to Leyte province, and...
Although the Eastern Sierra puts on the best show, I learned that Yosemite Fall Colors are pretty spectacular in their own right! Here are some of my favorite photos from this Autumn season. These were taken in the last week of October. “Leaf Peeping” on The Drive Into The Park You don’t even have to...
Taking photos in India was one of the highlights of my career. However, I was shocked to find some of the same scenes right in the city of Singapore – during my Little India Street Photography shoot! Indeed, with my Ricoh GR II in tow, I once again discovered the colorful sights, sounds, and exotic...
I have to be honest, the Sony RX100 is a great camera. However, the only reason I used it for my Chinatown street photography was because my Ricoh GR battery died! Haha…to tell the truth, I was surprised to learn that the RX100 is capable out on the Singapore streets, too! Words & Photos...
While on a trip around Romblon Island in the Philippines, I made friends with an animated Italian expat in Romblon town. He insisted that we check out a place on the southern end of the island.

I’m not sure why, but somehow I always pictured Leyte as kind of boring…and flat. Instead, as my flight from Cebu prepared for landing in Tacloban, I was shocked to see beautiful, mountainous terrain out the window! Add to that coconut-tree lined white-sand beaches, and you see why my excitement really began to grow…follow along...
There’s no better way to experience today’s global culture than a Singapore Street Photography session. For instance, in the “Lion City” you’ll find a vibrant mix of tradition and activities…where the past and the present collide in spectacular fashion. I hit the streets to see what I can capture with my little Ricoh GR II… ...

Masbate beaches have fine, powdery white sand. Couple this with a complete lack of tourists, and you have yourself a real paradise. Do enjoy this travel guide I’ve prepared… Updated January 17, 2021 Masbate is the kind of place you discover and just want to keep to yourself…but then you realize how much tourism would help...
Of all the incredible places I’ve explored in the Philippines, people might be surprised to learn that Romblon Island almost tops the list. After all, you don’t hear too much about this place. Perhaps it’s because it’s overshadowed by it’s massively popular (and crowded) neighbor Boracay. Well let my Romblon travel guide show you this...
