Posts from various travels. Some trips have full travelogs.
Panorama of Prague from top of Petrin Observation Tower My buddy Jason and I spent two weeks bumming around in Berlin, Prague, Munich and Stuttgart in July. Rather that try and do a recap here, the full trip blog is at www.anirama.com/trip/europe2012/
After big trips I like to post a few of my favorite photos from the trip. For our trip to New Zealand last month, I'm instead posting a few favorite themes. You can read the full travel blog here, or if you're just interested in the pictures, the full set is on Flickr in my [...]
Kudos to St. Louis for their zoo. We were out there a couple weeks ago and spent half of Sunday seeing the animals, and watching other people seeing the animals. Many of the residents are separated from the visitors by glass, allowing one to get face to face - I find it as interesting to [...]
I had a surprisingly small number of good pictures from SSC this year. Usually I'll have my camera with me all the time, and take some photo hikes as a reason to explore. In retrospect, this year seemed more active and social than usual for me. That's good news, right? Here's a few of the [...]
I was in St. Louis two weeks ago visiting my son and speaking to a class at Washington University on entrepreneurship. We did a bit of sightseeing and went to the Arch. It's a challenge to photograph an iconic monument in a unique way - a quick search on Flickr will reveal over 83,000 photos [...]
The annual pilgrimage to NAMM has passed on by, my favorite pix have been up on Flickr for a couple weeks, and now finally the website gets them. It was especially fun noticing Alan Parsons on the exhibit floor selling his new "Art & Science of Sound Recording" DVD set. If you want to meet [...]
The 24 Hours of LeMons is a two day endurance race for $500 cars. Last Spring, Eric and his roommates decided to enter this October's race using John's rusty 1995 Cadillac as the donor vehicle. I'll admit I was skeptical that they'd be able to do everything necessary to be ready for the race, what [...]
We just returned from a 10 day trip in England. I shot a bit over 1,000 pictures and put 61 of them on Flickr and in the travelog - a 6% rate which seems pretty typical. The full travelog is at www.anirama.com/england and the Flickr set is here. Here are six of my favorites. [...]
SF Bay baylands, shot from a Southwest Airlines flight after having just taken off from San Jose. I'm a sucker for the colors and patterns. More about the Don Edwards San Francisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge Environmental Education Center.
I spent the late afternoon at Fitzgerald Marine Reserve near Half Moon Bay, CA. The tidepools are locally famous, and there was a very low tide at 5:30pm today - right about sunset. I thought I could get some nice tidepool creature shots and a Pacific Ocean sunset all in one trip. The [...]
