Hey peoples.  If interested in my travels over the next few weeks, be sure to check out the Flickr stream, as this is the only place I'll be updating at.

I had a few moments to go through my old photos (my Mother just got broadband - just making sure nothing was too crazy out there for her to see).  A lot of good shots in there!  Here are a few of my favorites, and why.

Stockholm Bar. Late night. First time I drank a white ale. Love the colors dancing and the depth differences.

San Francisco. Outdoor concert. Black and white photography session produced great results. The despair is undeniable.

Los Angeles. Getty museum. Strict, bold shapes with smooth corners.

Phoenix. Home for Christmas. Shows emptiness with tons of happening in the shot. I like that.

Le' sighs. The Biz. This is just an amazingly framed shot, I think. Emotional baggage is strong with a lot of photos in this timeframe.

New York City. MoMa. Soft lighting like this NEVER happens naturally. So warm and inviting, yet full of metal and glass.

Perhaps my favorite photo of all time. Paris, taken from the top of the Arc de Triomphe looking over Paris to La Defense. Perfect amount of bleakness and business with perfect coloring and so much to absorb.
