Arriving in Mexico felt much like the shorter trips we’ve taken. The difference in length of this trek just hasn’t set in. But the relief of finally landing in Puerto Vallarta without a hitch is a welcomed feeling. Like so many other touristy cities, we were harassed by wave after wave of taxi drivers as… Continue reading Puerto Vallarta, Mexico
Well, it is official. This is our last Photo Friday of our previous travels before we head out on our trip come Sunday morning. And what better way than to go out with a bang with the beautiful Jolie Ampère Goodnight. Welcome to the wonderful world of sexy burlesque! There are more pictures that can… Continue reading Travel Photography – Fort Worth Burlesque
I'm going to be changing things up a bit this week with a Hometown Tourism post - photo essay style. Every year Austin throws a street art festival known as the Balcones Burner Bash in which various graffiti artists gather at the recycling plant. It not only celebrates the artists, but promotes an environmental preservation… Continue reading Balcones Burner Bash 2010
I am a museum nut. There. I said it. I like to spend hours looking at things with childish wonder - eyes completely open. The Natural History Museum in London did not disappoint. Not only is an activity like this budget friendly (they do not charge admission for the general exhibits), but can provide a… Continue reading Travel Photography – Natural History Museum
I think that one of the things that people forget is that New Mexico is more than just a desert. While we were driving through New Mexico during our road trip throughout the Southwest and Western United States, we had to stop and appreciate the beauty and greenery that surrounded us while we drove through… Continue reading Travel Photography – New Mexico
Rain seems to follow Shaun and I no matter what location we visit. We were greeted with rain on our wedding day, the rainiest dry season in 20 years in Barbados, one of the rainiest winters in Madrid, and it rained on us when we were at the Grand Canyon. We had been talking about… Continue reading Travel Photography – The Grand Canyon Rain
One night we were able to experience the playa by art car, brought to you by the Tiki Fkos camp, and I was overtaken by this sight of Burning Man at night. I can't accurately describe what it was like that night. The playa was clear and we had the pleasure of being without a… Continue reading Travel Photography – Burning Man at Night
I really did leave part of my heart in San Francisco. I had heard that it was quite a bit like Austin, and the city did not disappoint. From tap dancing performers on the streets to the sights and smells of a busy city, I could not help but fall in love with such a… Continue reading Travel Photography – San Francisco BART
Per the consensus, this week is a color photo week! Shaun and I were making our way up to Las Vegas when I saw this amazing view from the car on the way to the Hoover Dam. Looking out the window when making long, nostalgic road trips across the country can bring your some of… Continue reading Travel Photography – Arizona Roads Near the Hoover Dam
I have a few Burning Man pictures lined up for the next few weeks since they just look so awesome. Yes, I was dumb enough to pull out my camera during a fill blown white out at Burning Man. These types of things can be fixed on my camera, right? *cough* (Let's not talk about that...)… Continue reading Travel Photography – Night White Out at Burning Man
Back in January I had the opportunity to partake in yet another burlesque road trip with burlesque beauty and bestie, Jolie Ampere Goodnight. While I was hoping to make a break into the burlesque and pin up industry before we left on our trip, I have to take a step back to make sure our… Continue reading Burlesque Road Trip 2
While Shaun and I were on our Southwestern United States road trip to Burning Man, we stopped to visit some very awesome friends who live in Scottsdale (who... shhhh.... we met on World of Warcraft!). I always like take advice from local friends on where to explore. Not only do they give you the uber… Continue reading Travel Photography – Saguaro Cactus in Scottsdale Arizona
While meandering our way around Segovia Spain in the rain, we came across this tunnel that not only protected us from the torrential downpour. Just for a moment it allowed us to experience a slice of Segovian life. There is nothing quite like the sound of rain softly hitting the cobblestones of the street in… Continue reading Travel Photography – A Peek into Life in Segovia Spain
I must admit, I have a sick obsession with black and white photos. The Segovia Cathedral will be bringing in this Photo Friday. It really caught my eye while we were traveling around Spain in 2010. This is when I really started to notice that architecture in Europe was so different and unique - I… Continue reading Travel Photography – Segovia Cathedral
There is nothing quite like the sight of an encroaching storm on the dry desert over Burning Man. In true Over Yonderlust fashion, it rained on us. While normally it can get annoying, there is nothing more magical than a desert storm. While this picture did make its debut in a previous Burning Man post,… Continue reading Burning Man Pics: Storm Encroaching the Playa
