Following Brian Auer’s lead and participating in Jim Goldstein’s blog project, I have put together a Flickr set of my favorite photos from 2008.  Below you will find what I thought were my top 10.
Since I have yet to actually process all of my images from 2008, it is possible that these images will change.

A few months ago, I expressed interest in doing a photography project in 2009 and asked if anyone would be interested in joining in with a My World/Your World type of project. Sure enough, there was interest and I have been collaborating with a few individuals over the past month or so.
For 2009, we [...]

What a year it has been!  Who knew I would join Flickr, FriendFeed, Twitter, start using Google Reader and start a blog all within the last 5 months.  I never thought I’d join Twitter, EVER, let alone start a blog, yet through these new tools, I have physically and virtually met some new amazing people.
It [...]

Really quick, I wanted to inform everyone that I am back from Europe and getting back into the grove of everyday life.  I’m was actually back at work today, but tomorrow I am taking off and enjoying the New Year celebrations.
I’m hoping to start posting as usual again in the next few days, so stay [...]

December 28 - Final Day in Florence
Up at 8:30 this morning, I finished packing, had breakfast, checked out and headed over to the Uffizi museum for my 10am entry time. Upon arrival, the line was even worst today then it was previously. I stood where I was suppose to (the only person there when I [...]

December 27 - Florence Day Two
Up at 9am again, I headed out the door with the intention to visit the Uffizi Gallery today. I had heard lines could get extremely long, but after walking right into the Galleria dell’ Accademia I assumed it wasn’t going to be as bad as I’d heard. Well, I [...]

December 26 - A Lazy Day in Florence

With a wake up call at 9:00am, I headed down to the lobby for breakfast at 9:45. When I got there, the owner of the place, which was the same guy that checked me in (he seems to always be here), had one table still set but [...]

December 25 - Roma to Firenze

Well, it’s Christmas and it was another travel day for me. Knowing most things were going to be closed, today was intentionally setup as a travel day.
I decided there was no point in waking up particularly early, so I slept in until 10:30am and asked for a late checkout. After [...]

December 24 - All Around Rome and Back Again
I think I walked the entire city of Rome today…and then some.
Out the door of the hotel a little late, I first stopped at the Spanish Steps. Though I’ve walked up and down them almost every day so far, I had yet to stop and take a [...]

December 23 - Rome Day Two
During breakfast, I decided I’d make a stop at the train station, buy my ticket for my trip to Florence in a few days and then make my way to the Colosseum and surrounding ancient goodies. The only hard plan was that I wanted to catch the Colosseum during sundown [...]
