There is just so much to shoot in Dublin, and so much to love about it.  I really enjoy my visits there, and always come home happy (and with a few memory cards that are bursting at the seams!).  Today I share 22 photos from my most recent trip to Dublin.  Lots of street scenes and pubs in this one, so beware...you might want to hop on a plane after this!

Well, I finally have left Aperture behind and moved over to Lightroom.  It was a challenging process in several ways, but I am on the other side of it now and Lightroom is great!  Click on in to read about all the fun I had making the switch!  (That was a joke - it wasn't really very fun at all. But it's behind me now, YAY!)

I love signs and graffiti - and sunset, 'natch! - and caught all 3 on a recent outing here in Austin.  It's great to travel and shoot in various spots around the world, but it's also great to shoot interesting things near home.  It's easier to get there, too LOL!

Do you enjoy good graffiti as much as I do?  Well then you will like what I have for you today!  I went out in search of interesting graffiti on my recent trip to Glasgow, and came back with some cool stuff - have a look!

There is a LOT to see on the Champs Elysees in Paris.  It's a big, crowded street that famous for shopping, but in my opinion you can also make some great photographs in places like that - you just have to look a little harder!  Here are 14 photos as proof!

There is just so much awesomeness in Paris - starting with that iconic symbol of the city, the Eiffel Tower.  On my last trip there, I shot it a LOT, starting with today's photos which are from The Trocadero.  It's across the River Seine from the Eiffel Tower and as you can clearly see, offers up a pretty incredible view!  Have a look and enjoy!

On a recent morning in lovely Copenhagen, I headed out with just one lens (my 15mm f1.7 prime) and just one purpose - to capture some beautiful photos of this city that I just love to visit.  Did I accomplish my goals that morning?  Was my self-imposed limitation of just one lens "good enough"?  Well, here are 23 photos that show you what I came back with.  Click on in and you be the judge!

On my recent trip to Copenhagen, I got up early one morning to head over to Nyhavn, their historic harbor front entertainment area.  It's quite beautiful, and I fired a lot of photos.  I made a concerted effort to shoot it differently than I have in previous trips, and I think I succeeded.  Take a look at these 12 photos and let me know what you think!

On my recent trip to Copenhagen, I had hopes for good shooting, but the weather forecast did not look promising.  Couple that with a missed connection in London, and I was sure that my first day there was going to be a bust.  But sometimes Mother Nature (and travel complications) work out for the best!  I ended up shooting a fabulous sunset - and here are 22 photos (count 'em!) to illustrate just how great it was.  Have a look!

Today's post is a showcase of 18 images from my recent visit to Falkirk, Scotland - specifically to a pair of sculptures known as The Kelpies.  They are quite impressive!  Take a look and enjoy the photos!

I have spent the last four weeks on the move, and in that time I fired about 9000 photos.  It's been productive, amazing, fabulous, and a little tiring.  I drove a long way, and flew even further.  I have so much to share here that I fear I am already behind!  So today's post is an iPhone summary of these 3 trips and all the fun that I had on them.  Enjoy!

If you are like me, shooting a bunch of old gas pumps and other antique memorabilia is your idea of an afternoon well spent!  I did just that in Embudo, New Mexico at the Classical Gas Museum, and it was absolutely awesome.  Here's a visual tour of the inside of the museum - 14 photos in all.  It should keep your eyes busy for a bit!  :-)

I absolutely love to get up and shoot the sunrise, and even if it isn't that great, I always feel good getting some creative time first thing in the morning.  But on a recent trip to New Mexico, I planned to sleep in, but I guess Mother Nature had a different idea, because I woke up in time to shoot an absolutely amazing and colorful sunrise.  Here are 12 photos that will give you a good sense of just how beautiful it was!

This Japanese Garden in the heart of Portland, OR is absolutely gorgeous!  I spent some time there with a few friends a couple of years ago (yep, Jim's a little behind in processing my pics!) and boy did I ever come back with some winners!  Sadly, it's taken me over 2 years to get around to sharing them...but finally...here they are!  Hope you enjoy the view!

Ah, the good life at Eastern State Penitentiary in Philadelphia!  Haha, ok, I suspect life in this prison was not so good  - I mean, take a look at these 23 photos and form your own conclusions.  This old prison is now a museum and such a great place for photography.  I fired like crazy here, and walked away with a lot of pics.  It was great!  Come have a look!

My family and I spent a recent week in Abiquiu, NM - in this wonderful casita perched high on a hill with a commanding view of the surrounding countryside.  It was beautiful, and of course I took a lot of photos.  Today's post has 14 pics that I took on the evening we arrived, so dive on in and enjoy the sunset and the pics!

Today's post is an ode to that wonderful city in the Pac Northwest - Seattle, the Emerald City.  I love it there, just absolutely love it.  I hope to return someday soon (but it's not currently in the plans, darnit!).  Take a look at all 22 photos - yes there are 22, count 'em! - and let me know if you love the city as much as I do!

Austin is a great town to live in - just ask anybody.  But it's also a great town to take photos in.  I've been doing that for years, but all of these were just collecting virtual dust in my library.  So I dusted them off, polished them up, and now they are presentable.  :-)  I hope you enjoy this little visual tour of Austin as much as I enjoyed taking the shots!

I really love the city of Amsterdam.  Most people think of it as a place to go party, but not me - it's a place to take beautiful photographs.  There is just so much loveliness in Amsterdam - have a look at today's crop of 12 photos and let me know your thoughts! 

Dallas is a big city - no surprise there - and as such, I always overlooked it as a photo destination.  But I came across a bunch of old Dallas photos in my library recently, and it gave me a new appreciation for the Big D as a photo destination.  There's actually a lot to shoot there!  So click on in and have a look - there are 17 photos that prove my point!
