For one reason or another, I always find myself back in NYC…and always walk (limp) away with too many blisters. Just a few observation shots from my visit last month to the Big Apple to see some friends.…
Didn’t realize Amarillo, TX, has a little more to it than being a convenient pit stop location in the middle of the desert (and the yellow rose of Texas…♪♪). I’ve been through Amarillo before but had no idea what I was missing out on along I-40 and the old Route 66: a bunch of old cars shoved into the ground as an art display with free-for-all spray paint. I made it to Cadillac Ranch just before sunset and a storm.…
Making a cross-country drive isn’t so bad when you can stop and see good friends in the middle. Spent some time in Shreveport, LA, to visit my old college buddies–my first roomie (awwwww) and her husband (double awwwww)–and dusted off the camera to take some family portraits. It’s been a long time since I’ve done a family shoot, and I kind of forgot how crazy little toddlers can be sometimes and how it’s nearly impossible to have them sit still.…
Winter is and isn’t the most ideal time to visit Rome: If you hate crowds (like me), winter travel is great, but you will have to deal with a lot of scaffolding covering famous landmarks as this off season is also the ideal time to do restoration and maintenance work. If you imagine romantically enjoying a gelatto while sitting near Trevi Fountain, you’ll have to be ok with trading the sound of water for the clanging of construction workers. You…
Finally getting around to posting some photos from my visit to Italy. It was so strange seeing these famous landmarks in person. Everything seemed smaller than I imagined–except for the Statue of David. My pictures really don’t show just how impressive the iconic artwork is. The Leaning Tower is definitely very lean-y. Also, if you ever go, I recommend taking advantage of AirBnB rather than the traditional hotel route (if you don’t mind sharing a bathroom with a stranger). You’ll stay in…
Nom nom nom… I always enjoy the Japanese deliciousness my mom puts out on New Year’s. I’m sure my love of sashimi will eventually give me mercury poisoning. It’s always a colorful assortment for oshogatsu, although I have to admit, I’m not the biggest fan of some of the items… Happy New Year, everyone!…
