About PhotoCitizen.com

TRAVEL. PHOTOGRAPH. REPEAT.

Hi, I’m Alan Haynes, photographer, publisher, writer and webmaster here at PhotoCitizen. I’m a travel photographer based in sunny San Diego, California. I specialize in the USA and I’ve traveled to and photographed all 50 states.

I’ve traveled abroad, but find there is plenty right here in America to keep a travel photographer busy for life. Beautiful national parks, busy urban centers, quirky events, and interesting people; they’re all fair game. No passport required.

My work has been published worldwide and it’s still a blast to discover new uses of my photos across the globe. My photos have appeared in more places than I have: Europe, Asia and the Russian Federation to name a few. They’ve been used in books, magazines. TV shows and newspapers like the Wall Street Journal.

In a prior life, I received a degree in business computing and information systems and spent 26 years working in the telecommunications industry. Now I’m dedicated to travel photography and helping to educate an ever-growing universe of digital photographers.

PhotoCitizen contains information for traveling photographers of all kinds. You don’t need to be a pro: anyone who travels with a camera and cares about photography will find something useful here. My goal is to share years of photographic and computer knowledge. I’ll review products that I’ve used, help you navigate the sometimes messy world of computing for photographers, talk about places I’ve photographed and share general tips on travel photography.

About Sponsors

Since I’m the head honcho and sole employee of PhotoCitizen.com, I don’t make a dime from what I write. All of the information here is free to read. My only chance to recoup some of the expenses involved in running a site like this is to entice my readers to click on the ads.

Every time you visit a sponsor by clicking on one of my links and then actually buy something from them, you help me pay for webhosting and, of course, all the time I put into PhotoCitizen.

All of my sponsors are companies I have personal experience with. The only exception are the ads by Google: these advertisers are provided by Google based on the content included on my site and are not pre-screened by me.

Thanks For Visiting
