It's Done!

Well, I have been working on my Rick Steves website for over 6 months and it is finally done.  I love working on projects, but once they are done I feel a little empty.  Now I just have to figure out what the next venture is.  I hope you enjoy my site!

Progress (or Lack of)

Well, my campaign is not going so hot right now, but I'm still pretty set on the idea of doing what I can to accomplish it.  I learned about something really cool when I went to the Travel and Adventure show a couple weekends ago.  Ralph Valesco is a photographer that spoke about tips and showed some of his work.  One of the coolest things was his time lapse video of Toledo.  He used a go pro camera to capture a picture each second.  Then he compiled the pictures to create a video.  I think it is an awesome way to track time and scenes.  I have so many ideas for how I'd like to use it.  Sunrises in Paris, cafe scenes, and tracking the changes of light over beautiful monuments would be such a cool thing.  I could always add audio if I wanted or I could use it just to demonstrate a point.  

I'm really excited to get into video.  I feel like video blogging is still pretty new, so maybe I can do something with it.  I'm also thrilled to really focus on photography again.  I LOVE photography.  If I can combine these elements with writing and travel, I think I may be in heaven.

Snowy Photo Op

I woke up wanting to take pictures.  Luckily it was a little warmer than the past couple of days.  I trekked over to my local forest preserve and captured a few images.  Then, the wind picked up and I got cold, so my ambition died.  I so badly want to get out and take photos, but I hate the cold.  Hopefully little Phil is right about his prediction.
