In my pervious post, I commented on how I had never seen so much gold in a building, and that still stands true. However, the Orvieto Duomo facade runs a close second. The facade is covered in gold mosaics. I picked the two pictures below because I like how I framed the facade. The top one, [...]

Silence all Around

There are two things that seem to always help me think: 1) music and 2) being a place with fresh air and little noise. One of the places that I seem to always find these qualities are in cemeteries. When I’m in a cemetary I always find myself thinking about how pretty this grave marker [...]

I’m not really known for staying with things a long time (for example with 3 and a half semesters left I just dropped my econ minor). Those of you that have been following might have noticed that there are constantly long breaks of posting for me. However I return to post eventually. When I noticed [...]

The one country in Europe that I have always wanted to go to (think mainly because of the food) was to visit Italy. I’ve been it England, Amsterdam, Paris, and Spain (twice) but not Italy. Because Italy had always been my frist choice of place to go in Europe, it was my obvious choice for [...]

These are some pictures of my neighbors new garden. The worked for three years on creating this Chinese Scholar Garden. I went over quickly this after noon to look at it before I left because it was officially completed yesterday.
The pathway goes in a zig zag to make it harder for the demons to travel.

So even though I stopped posting during the past few months, I never really stopped taking pictures. The following pictures are from a lake called Upper Lake about two blocks away from my house that I took when I was taking my dog for a walk. It was a beautiful spring day, and the pictures [...]
Tulipmania

This past semester (I’m talking back in April) I wrote a paper on the reflection of the growing Europe trading world within paintings. In this paper I spent about two pages discussing tulips, which was only possible after reading a 300 page + book about tulips. My mom is a very big gardener, all the [...]
The feel of black or white

Since I have gotten a digital SLR my favorite things to do has been to take similar pictures of the same thing with the main difference being that one picture is black and white while the other is color. By doing so, the color of the picture can really make the two pictures seem completely unrelated [...]
I’m BACK

I have been feeling pretty uninspired lately with pictures. This is the longest time I have really spent in the same city, I’ve put down all my photo projects, and I’ve really only been taking pictures of my friends or for work.
But I’m ready to return for a few reasons:
My photo friend has been suggesting that [...]
