Off the beaten path in London

I have posted some shots from this spot in London before (which I took last year while there for a few days).  It is the Leake Street graffiti tunnel, and I still have a lot to share.  Stuff like this just makes for a more interesting visit, in my opinion.  I hope you enjoy seeing these types of shots!

One reason I am posting a London shot is that I am posting this from London.  I have been in the UK all week (though not here), and flew into London last night, and now off to the airport to catch a flight home.  Sadly, no time in London to shoot with my friends here, as it was just a quick stopover on the way home.  I did though have some time to shoot in Dublin, Ireland and outside of Glasgow, Scotland this week, and have lots of new stuff to share with you all!  I haven't been online much this week, so I just want to thank those of you who did pop by and leave comments, etc - I really appreciate it very much!

Walking the beach in Naples

I tend to be more of a mountain guy as opposed to a beach guy, but I can totally get the beauty of a wonderful beach under a blue sky.  There is something about it that appeals to me at some level.  I caught this shot while wandering along the beach in Naples, FL.  I only had a little free time there and knew I wanted to see the ocean up close.  What I didn't know is how close I was going to get.  Take a look at this second photo.  The beach was COVERED in shells, literally.  They were everywhere, and lots of those little conchs were walking around like they owned the place.  It was awesome!

Bathed in ritual mist

I got up on Thanksgiving morning at a place up in the Texas hill country to find this wonderful light fog hanging all around.  I quickly grabbed my gear and sprinted to this little creek that runs behind the property.  I love fog, though we rarely get any - so when I get the chance to shoot some I get a little fired up! 

Nashville glistens

I like shooting in Nashville - there's a lot to see and some great spots for photography.  Take this one, for instance.  You can give me a score of zero on originality if you want, since I have posted shots from this spot before.  But that's ok - I love the view of downtown from the Shelby Street Bridge so much that I shoot it every time I go there.  I've got plenty more to process from here, so you will see it again sometime!  Even though there is basically one composition you can get from here, the light and colors always vary, so each shot has a slightly different look.  This is my most recent effort, from my trip a few weeks back, and so far it's my favorite one.  But, I reserve the right to change my mind next time.  :)

The Torii Gate at EPCOT

I love EPCOT.  In addition to offering up so many wonderful photo opportunities, it's a great cultural experience.  It's not like being there, but it sure is a good substitute when you are longing for some internationalism kinda stuff.  I have always wanted to visit Japan and someday hope to photograph that beautiful country.  For now though, I am totally fine firing off shots like this, pretending I am there.

One other place I have always wanted to visit is Ireland, and that is happening as I type this.  I got into Dublin over the weekend and have TONS of shots to process and stories to share with everyone, so look for that coming soon!  I also have some iPhone shots I will be sharing on my iPhoneography blog, in case you want to see them.  More soon!
