Born in the United States, Michael Morrissey was initially drawn to Paris in the early 1970’s. Trekking to Kathmandu, he found himself driving the Magic Bus. This led to an increasing involvement in photography as a way of capturing, in an instant, that which could never be explained in words.
As a landscape architect and master of many trades, Michael lived and worked in Brunei, Malaysia, Taiwan, Thailand, and Japan, where he co-founded Refugees International. In Thailand, he worked with the UNHCR developing refugee camps. After creating several real estate management companies based in Bangkok, Mike focused on his passions: travel and photography.
An inveterate global traveler with a penchant for discovering off-the-beaten paths, he has experienced moments of terror and peace, sadness touched by joy, acquiring a deep awareness of the connectedness present among all people and cultures and a deep respect for the poignant, majestic yet fragile natural world.
