art + travel + photography
One of the perks of traveling to Arizona for work so often for a couple years? Trips to the Grand Canyon! I would drive from Phoenix to Flagstaff, and from Flagstaff to the South Rim of Grand Canyon…. There’s easy walking and hiking along the rim, with the expansive views of the Canyon around you. […]
The Island of Capri is a ferry ride away from the seaside town of Sorrento on the Southern side of Italy where we stayed. We headed to the island bright and early on Monday with the sun just starting to warm the waters… We took a boat tour around the island and into the Blue Grotto, or Grotta […]
Positano is full of breathtaking views, Mediterranean sea breezes, and stairs. Lots and lots of stairs. The bus that rides along the Amalfi coast can drops you off along the main road near the top of the town. Here you can see some amazing views from the high vantage point: I walked down and down and down […]
Café du Monde in the French quarter of New Orleans, open 24/7… I went at night, for some beignets and café au lait… And took a beignet for the road! You guys, just by looking at these pictures… I’m already starting to crave another beignet!
In 1990, New Orleans and me… we looked like this: This weekend, I’m Louisiana bound again. So we’ll see how much things have changed! To set the mood, some New Orleans tunes: jazz, r&b, funk… you know the drill. I pulled together a few fave songs for the road. You can listen, […]
I like to make pictures with film. But… I always take a while getting the film developed. And when I do bring it in? It’s full of surprise, long-forgotten photos. So now it’s December, and I love the cold. But these fresh prints have me thinking about the warmth of the beach… …with water at […]
I got to spend 11 days in Rome, and enjoyed exploring around the vast city that has been home to so much civilization and culture. Rome has everything from quiet gardens around the Villa Borghese… …and ancient ruins from the Roman Empire… …to modern iconic Italian vespas, political flags, accordions, music…. There are so many […]
I got to spend one Saturday in Florence, Italy – a city steeped in the history of art, music, politics, and Italian culture. In the pedestrian streets around Florence’s famous art galleries, every square foot is filled with musicians and souvenir reproductions of famous paintings for sale…. Walking through the city, there are pops of […]
I shared a few photos from our hike through Cinque Terre, Italy here. The seaside, the views – it’s lovely. : ) We started out early in the day by grabbing some fruit at one of the small streetside markets…. Our hike wound along the coast of the Mediterranean through 5 towns, some vineyards, and […]
