Photographically speaking I’m a sucker for a) color contrasts, b) interesting graphic forms, and c) negative space. If one or more of these fall into my line of sight I’ll generally stop and shoot or curse myself for not having a camera handy. Such was the case with the latter while exploring the beautiful RIU Santa Fe in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.

Here’s a good idea. Take a really steep cliff along the water. And build houses and so forth all the way up.
Such is Positano, Italy. City motto: what goes down, must come up. Impossibly vertical to support the infrastructure of a city it still stands and is beautiful once you get used to the constant elevations. Really quite a bizarre experience. Actually the whole Amalfi Coast is quite an odd and exotic area. But I digress.

I hadn’t intended on publishing anything else until we left Florence, but going through photos and making selects gave me pause. As we get ready to go out and enjoy what Firenze has to offer I give my daughter a little lesson in humility. She has the good fortune to enjoy views like this:
This fellow, unfortunately, sees life a little different yet sits only 10 feet away from where the above was taken.
It’s worth giving thanks from time to time.

For the first time I find myself in Saint John, New Brunswick. Almost at the far right edge of Canada. As is typically the case on these trips I have little opportunity to get out and about so I’ll take what I can get. And what I got was the ubiquitous Atlantic lighthouse.

Finally finished the &$%# photobooks from our Costa Rica trip. Good news: faster than previous books by orders of magnitude. Bad news: they still took a freaking long time. First the “family” version complete with multiple iterations of The Wife and friends posing to show off their choice of evening wear. Second, my version. All arty and shit. Still waiting for that one to arrive (via Blurb). It not only marks the first such style of book that I’ve done for myself, but also my first foray into bookmaking with Adobe Lightroom (which acts as a front end into Blurb). Up until now I’ve used Apple with good success, but working via Lightroom and Blurb offers other advantages that I’ll be using more (hopefully) going forward. Perhaps even need to pen a tips section.
