It’s the golden age of photography, and the golden age of travel. LUQ combines those two popular passions, offering real-world insight into cameras and other equipment, practical advice, destination guides, insider travel tips, and of course the weekly photo contest.

Where have you been recently? And what photos did you capture?

Or where do you want to go?

J.M. Hoffman

A prolific writer and avid photographer, J.M. Hoffman picked up his first camera when he was eight years old. And even though he abhors a cliche, he never looked back.

Acclaimed as a “master raconteur” who writes with a “flair” (Times Literary Supplement of London), Hoffman authored two non-fiction books and contributed to over a dozen others before writing The Warwick Files. He continues to write fiction and non-fiction.

In addition to writing and traveling the world lecturing about his books, Hoffman has also directed a dance troupe, taught darkroom technique, and explored Patagonia on horseback. From time to time he can be seen playing table tennis poorly at the WTCC. He lives just north of New York City.
