Just posted on my 500px: Coliseum Curve



I often find myself shooting curved shapes that disappear in the distance. Usually, the shapes are roads, paths. railings, etc, that I come across. With this photograph, the shape is in the form of the walls that were originally underneath the Coliseum in Rome. This was taken in Rome in June of 2013. http://ift.tt/1iUC4HW

Just posted on my 500px: Watching Traffic



The thing about Venice is that I never got tired of photographing it. Every corner of the city looked so unique to Venice. So, here's another waterway shot with gondolas, but I thought it was neat to capture the two tourists tentatively looking on. Notice their grips on those posts. With a sidewalk that tiny, who can blame them? http://ift.tt/1egBkv7

Just posted on my 500px: Retired for the Evening



For some reason, I like taking photos without people in them. I find the things left behind by people to be more interesting without them. This photo was taken in Venice, Italy, in June of 2013. http://ift.tt/1fVz6DB

Venice Darkly



This is my attempt to shoot Venice at night. I was hoping for a semi-ghostly look. I think it works, somewhat, at least... this was shot last June (2013). http://ift.tt/1n5OAJd Follow me on 500px: http://ift.tt/1cvpOIu Follow me on Instagram: http://ift.tt/124UAGf Follow me on Flickr: http://ift.tt/1in4DQz

Just posted on my 500px: Reading by the Bridge



I've been to a lot of beautiful places and always find it interesting when I see people who do "normal" things in such places. Like this woman who, amidst the stunning city of Venice just sat down by a bridge and began reading. After spending time in Venice, I suppose it could be just enough to be there. Why ruin it by running around, taking a bunch of photos? >_< Anyway, this is another one from my June 2013 visit to Venice, Italy. http://ift.tt/1i9lcLo

Just posted on my 500px: WC



I've always loved the European use of the phrase "Water Closet." It seems so much more appropriate than "bathroom" or even "restroom." This was taken in Venice, which is a city where it's very easy to get lost. When I was there in June of 2013, these "WC" stickers were everywhere, along with signs. I think tourists get lost, have to urinate and don't want to wait until they find their destination. That's just my guess, though. I just knew I needed to end up with at least one photo of the ubiquitous stickers. http://ift.tt/1mSIqfj
