PhotoMann Travel Photography features pictures from 30+ countries around the world.

I am PhotoMann (a.k.a. Doug Mann). I'm an American engineer currently living and working in Misawa, Japan. Prior to relocating to Japan PhotoMann at the Tiger's Nest in Bhutan. in July 2001 I lived in Wiesbaden and Berlin, Germany, as well as Okinawa, Japan. I have traveled extensively for both business and pleasure.

Travel, photography and technology are my addictions. The creation of my PhotoMann web presence was the blending of the three addictions. The site dates back to 1995 with the photomann.com domain being registered in 1997. The web site curretly has images from 30+ countries out of the 56 I've visited. Recent destinations include Rio de Janeiro and Machu Picchu. Thailand is one of my favorite countries. I've been there frequently as my wife, Roongnapa, is from Chiang Mai. Be sure to visit the coverage of our traditional Thai wedding. Those images were not taken by PhotoMann but it was his one of his most harrowing adventures! Explore other destinations via the browse option or navigate directly to a particular destination from the menus. Be sure to check out the option to travel the world using the PhotoMann Map

I hope you enjoy traveling the world with PhotoMann. Many of his early images were shot as 35mm slides. My primary film body before converting completely to digital was the Minolta 9Ti (Titanium version of Minolta 9). The slides are scanned using Nikon's line of Coolscan's. My most recent one is the Coolscan V. In Nov 2003 I made to tough choice to change 'religions' and switched to Canon digital SLRs. My inital one was a 10D. That was followed by the Canon 20D, 5D and 5D Mark II and the 5D Mark IV. I recently went mirrorless with the EOS R. I also use a Canon G1X Mark III and my iPhone when I don't want to carry all my gear. I shoot mostly in RAW and convert to JPG for the web as necessary.

Converting to all digital for my travel photography was a great experience overall. The biggest benefit is having instant confirmation that I probably have the image I want versus waiting for film processing after I return home. I no longer had to worry about the impact of xrays on the tons of film I used to carry. However, now I have the challenge of storing the many Gigs of images on the road and sorting/processing them when I get home. I have averaged 50+ Gigs on some recent trips.

Sayonara,
Doug...
