Two versions of a lovely blue hour in Rome for ya today - color and mono.  Either way, it was a gorgeous night to be shooting in Rome!

If you are looking for the best view of the skyline of Florence, Italy you can find that in today's blog post.  But it's not a secret - I had to share it with a few hundred of my closest friends.  :-)

I found myself on a quest while in Florence, Italy - a quest to capture as much of the work by street artist "Blub" as I could find.  I discovered 16 works by the artist, so here they are.  They all feature either a famous work of art or a famous person (real or imagined), each fitted with a swimming mask.  It's a fun diversion from all that other art in the city!

Just a quick shot of a cool store in Austin - Room Service Vintage.  I have driven past it for years and always wanted to shoot it.  So, I finally did it and am glad that I did.

Even though I am currently in Italy, I still have a lot of Oregon photos to share with you.  Take a quick peek at this trio from that lovely state way out West...

I always wanted to shoot a gorgeous sunset from this spot in Rome, and as luck would have it, it happened to me last week - by accident.  I wasn't even out on a photo hunt, I was just walking home from dinner with the family.  Then, this!

Sometimes you just show up at the right time and get lucky.  That's exactly what happened to me one evening in Seattle.  I'll take it anytime!  ;-)

Don't you love it when you get a wonderful sunset at the place you have always wanted to photograph a wonderful sunset?  Yeah, sometimes it happens, and when it does, IT'S AWESOME.

Sometimes you have to give up looking for original shots and just join in with the crowd to get the shot you want.  And sometimes it's worth it to do so.

An amazing-looking restaurant I found while wandering in Sydney.  Well worth a quick stop for some HDR brackets!

Despite the exorbitant heat of summer, Sedona really does seduce the senses.  There are some incredible landscapes nearby that offer great photographic possibilities.  Today I show you Cathedral Rock.

We recently spent 5 nights in Venice, Italy and I captured nearly 3,000 photos.  Today I share my 5 favorites from my iPhone. 

We are currently traveling in Italy, and although I have been taking copious amount of photos, I haven't had time to edit very many.  Here's the first of many to come - this one is from Milan.  Have a look!
