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.

Italy is all that and a bag of chips.

Inspired by Scott Campbell’s iPhone photo of winter trees I captured this earlier today. Trees all hoar-frosty in the early morning, and the sun poked out and lit them up. Goes to show, however, that it’s not the camera that makes the image. Scott’s photograph kicks the s**t out of this, yet was taken with “only” an iPhone vs. a pro-level full frame DSLR that clocks in at over $2K.

Three days in to the annual lake sojourn and I was finally compelled to grab the rig and shoot. I’m disappointed that I am currently unable to think of something original so at best this is a variation on past themes.
Had a friend’s son in tow as he’s getting into photography. Above all else was a lesson in patience as this was a 4-minute exposure which came as a surprise to him.
