I know some people are confused about my photographs here. I started taking photos in October 2011, and after a few months it became an all-consuming passion. Since then I've been constantly traveling and taking photos. :-)

About 12 weeks ago Here's one I took about a month ago in Sydney, Australia. It's shot from underneath the Sydney Harbor Bridge, which was built in 1932. For a time, it was the world's widest long span bridge. And until 1967 it was Sydney's tallest structure. :-)

About 13 weeks ago Yesterday I went out to shoot some underwater photos in hopes of capturing dolphins. None of the dolphin photos came out good, but I did capture a double rainbow. It's a nice feeling just floating in the ocean and seeing this :-)  (Even nicer when you've got your camera!) This was shot in Kapolei, just off Electric Beach on Oahu.

About 8 weeks ago Washington DC at Sunrise About two weeks ago I was in Washington DC laying on the ground, shooting this sunrise over the reflecting pool and the Washington Monument. When I was there I'd heard talk about the blooming of the Cherry Blossom trees, but I was there too early for that. Well, now I'm in Japan and the Blossoms are in full bloom... I haven't gotten a great photo of them yet. Still trying :-)

About 6 weeks ago I caught a dramatic sunrise from the top of the Hyatt hotel where they filmed Lost in Translation the other morning. This is one of my favorite shots from my current Tokyo trip. Loving this place :-)

About 5 days ago Trying out the new Tall Photos in G+!  I took this one in France, at Mt. St Michel. +Trey Ratcliff and I spent some time in this wonderful place, and this was one of my favorite photos from the adventure. I never shared it here on G+ because the old format favored landscape-wide photos. What do yo think? :)

About 3 weeks ago The London Tower Bridge. I shot this on a cold day in November last year. It's really an amazing site and fascinating when you consider construction started in 1886. I've never seen the drawbidge portion go up and down. Apparently it's a rare event these days :-)

About 9 weeks ago Just spent a week road-trippin in the American South - mostly in Georgia and North Carolina. Before I arrived I'd Googled locations and was hoping to  get a cool photo of a swamp. I never quite did find what I imagined in my head, but I found this dried up and drained swamp on my last day in Augusta, GA. I woke up with a few hours before my flight and the sky looked intense. The clouds were ominous and strange and I thought to myself, "Dang, no photos today." Normally I look for happy blue skies and I won't even shoot in these conditions, but it turns out the muted and somber tones were perfect for this location.

About 5 days ago I'm enjoying this new G+ layout. Here's another Tall Photo I hadn't shared before. Taken in Sydney, Australia in January.  This dramatic sunset was going off and I was scrambling trying to find the best spot to take a photo. Fun times!  

Tomorrow I'm headed to South Korea for two nights. Does anyone have any suggestions on cool buildings or landscapes to photograph for my two quick nights there in Seoul?

About 5 weeks ago On Sunday, +Trey Ratcliff and I continued our Japanese adventure guided by +Negoro Kaori, her husband and +Sulwyn Lim (two Google+ employees in Japan).  We stopped to eat in this quaint place on the road to Mt. Fuji. I loved this village, and tried to capture it in a way that evoked that storybook feeling it gave me. This is my last night in Japan, I'll miss it. :-)

About 12 weeks ago Shot this one in Oahu, Hawaii too. The moon cast an unusual color light because of the volcanic fog coming from the Big Island. That's my friend +John Hook holding still for 30 seconds while I captured this long exposure. We were camping on the beach at Bellows ... Awesome time :-)
