More than a travel blog, life fulfillment, or photography blog

Red Dot Blue Dot

Red Dot Blue Dot (RDBD) is about people connecting with each other, primarily through photography and travel. The Red Dot represents the primary photography equipment we use, our Leica cameras (in addition to our phones). The Blue Dot represents the world we travel and the people we meet.

Thank you to everyone that came to Connecting with Place & People: Traveling the World with a Leica at The Rangefinder Gallery during the months of July and August 2019. Connecting with Place & People presented an eclectic mix of both color and black & white photography from 13 different countries made primarily from 2016-2019. Gallery prints remain for sale with 10% of proceeds going to FLYTE. Additionally, gallery catalogs are available.

What is Red Dot Blue Dot?

Red Dot Blue Dot (RDBD) is about people connecting with each other, primarily through photography and travel. The Red Dot represents the photography equipment we use, Leica cameras (in addition to our phones). The Blue Dot represents the world we travel, the destinations we capture (and capture us), and the people we meet.

Red Blog and Blue Blog…Explained

One site, two blogs.

The Red Blog contains images primarily shot with Leica equipment and minimal explanation or words. The lens and location are recorded and often there is a title, but the images tell the story. This blog contains a hybrid of documentary, travel, landscape, abstract, portraiture, and street photography to create Red Blog photography.

The Blue Blog contains content reflecting the mission of RedDotBlueDot (RDBD). Photography. Travel. Culture. People. Art. Food. In-depth travel guides, musings about experiences, shorter location reports, restaurant reviews, and content-packed articles. The Blue Blog travel philosophy is to engage with people and have engaging real experiences that become priceless memories and to help the Red Dot Blue Dot community have the tools to do the same.

“Inevitably you’re going to be delayed somewhere. Always have a book. Always have a movie. Always have a notebook. And then always have a sense of humour.”
