I had read the advice online ahead of time: Go late at night or in the early morning hours to enjoy the Fountain without all the tourists, other travelers said. Otherwise, it’s a mob scene. I didn’t heed their advice. What a mistake. Of course, it’s not like I had a lot of choice. I [...]

Cruising the Seine

January 28, 2011

One of the richest assets the city of Paris has as a tourist destination is its location on the river Seine.  Aside from the practicalities of being able to transport goods on the river, it makes Paris all kinds of photogenic.  There are bridges criss-crossing the river linking the city’s neighborhoods on either side, and  [...]

Burlington Cow Parade

July 16, 2010

There used to be a saying that there were more cows than people in Vermont.  I’m not sure that’s true any more; but we still do have quite a lot of cows.  Even more this summer, as Burlington is hosting its own unofficial version of a cow parade.  In case you’re unaware of this phenomenon, [...]

Photographing Animals

June 4, 2010

It’s probably a good thing I travel solo, because one of my favorite subjects to photograph is animals (and birds and sealife).  Not truly wildlife photos, like wolves or grizzlies or gorillas in the wild–I’m way too chicken for that–but whatever animals I happen across.  So in New Orleans, I took photos of the mules [...]

My Travel Camera Gear

May 21, 2010

Up until last year, the only camera I brought with me when I traveled was my Nikon Coolpix 885, a 2001 model that was practically an antique by the time I decided I needed to upgrade.  It took perfectly fine photos for 4″ x 6″ prints, but once I started my travel blog and started [...]
