Always take the call…
Both my photographer friends Jeff and Ashel are in these photos: Jeff is on the phone. There are a few professions out there that “never stop.” It isn’t a 9-to-5…
Munich layover…
When I was in Munich in July, I was distracted with a dozen other things and wasn’t able to make a certain image. It just so happened that I got…
Because, Venice…
Is it possible to sum up a place? These are the photos from one day in Venice: 8:27am – 8:52pm. . . . Venice. As the tours pour in, people…
