Today was a much better day. Not only was there still some leftover stale bagels and coffee at the Continental Breakfast, but Shaun and managed to not be sick on the road today. Normally we're pretty healthy eaters and the change to fast food, but quick bites and snacks from the road trip has killed… Continue reading Road Trip to Gila National Forest – Heading to Burning Man
Wow today was a doozy! Both Shaun and I had spent the entirety of last week preparing for this trip every free moment of the day. It was the first time I had seen Shaun visibly stressed out in quite some time. Normally I'm the one that has the small freak outs, but the equilibrium… Continue reading Road Trip to El Paso, Texas and Las Cruces, New Mexico
This was an installment at the Natural History Museum in London. I couldn't help myself in regards to taking a picture... it looked so cool! This Natural History Museum London exhibition really took me by surprise as I wasn't expecting so many modern art installments. I'm hoping one day I'll have more time to wander around… Continue reading Travel Photography – Natural History Museum Exhibition London
It is crazy when you realize that a trip you have been planning for is right around the corner. I have wanted to participate in Burning Man since the late 90s and the fact that my time has come has me frothing at the mouth. It is crunch time (T-Minus 6 days) and I'm starting… Continue reading Road Trip: Burning Man Supply List
Our first day in London was spent trying to adjust to the jet lag we were experiencing and talking to our friends about our potential plans for the next week. Our friends Doug and Steph (who live in London) were telling us about this swanky club that was hoppin' on Sunday nights - The Notting… Continue reading Travel Photography – Notting Hill Arts Club – London
While I am not going to be showing ALL our costumes this time around, I will be showing you how I made our awesome goggles/Burning Man costumes. They caused more bodily harm than I had experienced in a while, so I feel they deserve the most attention. I will post more pictures next week as… Continue reading Burning Man Costumes – In Pictures
There was something fantastic, almost magical about the Ancient Roman Baths in Bath, England. The fact that I was walking through history was exciting. It is crazy to think that the Romans had such a huge hold on Europe during their empire. When traveling through, you can always see remnants - whether it be in… Continue reading Travel Photography – Ancient Roman Baths in Bath, England
I have to admit. I never thought I would meet so many amazing travel photographers that would inspire me so greatly in the travel blog community. One person that I draw daily inspiration from is Bethany Salvon of Beers & Beans and Nariko’s Nest. Not only does she have a rockin’ travel blog but she… Continue reading Featured Travel Photographer: Bethany Salvon
Believe it or not, but I did not do any post processing on this picture. This was done on film and either there was some weird crazy energy that changed the way the film came out or the film was old... however none of my other Hiroshima pictures developed like this one. The Hiroshima bombing… Continue reading Travel Photography – Hiroshima Bombing
This is part of our interview series with Travel Photographers: One of the most awesome things about photography is the different interpretations you can get from the same place. One monument can be looked at a million different ways depending on whose eyes are looking at them. One fantastic example of this is the up-and-coming… Continue reading Featured Travel Lomographer/Photographer: Cameron Russell
This is my most favorite picture that I have taken while abroad. Shaun and I spent the New Year in Madrid, Spain (2009-2010) and witnessed the rainiest winter they had received in years. Luckily for me umbrellas and slick streets make amazing subjects. ...so goes our luck with the rain following us around the world!… Continue reading Travel Photography – Rainy Madrid Weather
The open road. You often find this to be an important theme in so many American novels and stories. You are the road warrior. The pavement across the country is yours to conquer. Jack Kerouac became legend. And while not all of us are able to be as young, free, and epic as Kerouac, his… Continue reading Nostalgia and Road Trips
While walking through Toledo there were so many small alleys and beautiful streets. This street caught my eye in particular due to the amazing textured road and gorgeous old buildings. While I love living in the U.S., there is something spectacular about the older houses. Its like you are walking past history. If only walls… Continue reading Travel Photography – Streets of Toledo, Spain
As I am embarking on my last week of employment at said video game company, I cannot help but look at the current state I am in. The process of submitting my resignation has been an emotional one. There have been instances of both elation and sadness as I face the future. I will be… Continue reading To a New Beginning!
I have always loved beautifully designed buildings and churches - specifically gothic style architecture. One of the most amazing things about Europe is the opportunity to take in and experience these masterpieces. Our friend Lindsay suggested we head to Toledo, Spain (from Madrid) for a day trip and we were forever grateful. It wasn't just… Continue reading Travel Photography – Toledo Cathedral
