Once daily images from around the world.

Daily Travel Photos is supported primarily by advertisements. To help ensure the site's survival, I request that you occasionally glance at the ads and click only on an advertisement that genuinely interests you. Clicking haphazardly on ads helps nobody in the long run. In addition, PayPal donations are swiftly and shamelessly accepted.

Thanks for supporting Daily Travel Photos.

Who:   Pius Lee (aka travel guy). In my previous life, I worked as a database guru & web app programmer at CNET Networks.

What:   It began as a quest to backpack around the world but with the purchase of my first DSLR camera, I've redefined my travels to revolve exclusively around photography. With these photos, I hope to relate the beauty and uniqueness of far-away countries that most viewers won't experience first hand.

When:   In 2003, I left my position at CNET to pursue my dream of backpacking around the world. At the time of writing (January 2009), I've completed nearly 6 years of continuous travel in 58 countries.

Where:   My initial plane ticket was a one-way trip from New York City to Casablanca, Morocco. Since then, I've reached the Eastern end of the Indonesian archipelago, mostly overland.

Why:   Travel and photography are two of my greatest passions. A budget traveling lifestyle allows me a way to pursue what interests me most in life. Without photography, I wouldn't travel. Without travel, I wouldn't photograph.

I intend to keep the site updated daily. However, problems tend to arise when a website's upkeep competes with the inconveniences of budget traveling. The RSS feed or mail notifications should suffice to keep you updated on newly posted photos.

Update: After one year of maintaining this site, I've more or less settled on a style of photos. Whenever possible, I attempt to upload real-time photos of the country I'm currently traveling. Weekends, I take a break from that country to upload archived photos from the past.
