Buon Viaggio Nonna

Hello All,
My grandmother on my mother's side, my nonna, is heading back to Italy tomorrow after a two month visit that culminated with my baby sister's wedding this past weekend (More on that coming soon :] ). While she was here, I promised her that I'd gather some images from our tour through Italy this past Spring to take back to friends and family. Sure enough, two months went by in a flash and with a heavy workload & travel schedule I never found the time. Booooo.
Nonna understood and lightened her request to images from the days spent with her sister, my zia, in the Northeastern mountain towns of Belluno & Cortina. Going through these images was a real treat, as I hadn't seen any of them since they were captured. I have over 60 gigs of photos from that trip and HADN'T SEEN A SINGLE ONE until yesterday. Again...Booooo. The following are a few of my favorites:


This is the vista of the Italian Alps from Belluno Centro. Not bad, huh??



My Zia...

...86 years young and wouldn't think of letting us help her tidy up the house.









The great Italian Renaissance painter Tiziano Vercelli was born in the town of Pieve Di Cadore, near Belluno. This was his kitchen...




There is so much more to share from this amazing adventure. Stay tuned as we ramp up into Blogvember!

All Grown Up...Sarah & Chris

Hello Friends,

I wanted to share a small collection of images from the recent wedding of Sarah & Chris. Chris is the younger brother of a dear old friend whom I've known since high school. Over the years, I've watched Chris grow from an all-too-easy-to-pick-on younger brother to quite a spectacular human being with a voice & presence all his own. In Sarah he has found a vibrant spirit, his perfect compliment. It was such an honor to share this day with them and the people that they care about most. A million extensions of gratitude to all who attended for making this homecoming so special. ...and, of course, a big shout-out to Kelli Marsh for once again exceeding all expectations. Your images just keep getting better and better and better :) Be sure to check her blog soon for some of her images from this fine day.

Sarah & Chris

...I'm really excited about this last image. maybe because it's so weird...but interesting...but strange...but... Any who, it's a single exposure. NO extra layers were added. No textures...nothing. Just standard color treatment...

It's one of those images that seems new every time that you look at it...you know?? Anyway...

So...I'm still in the midst of wrapping up a very busy season and have soooo much to share. That & a few big announcements will make this year's Blog-vember II - The Return Of Blog-vember - one for the books. Stay tuned kids.

I hope that you have enjoyed your visit. Holla @ a brother and let me know you're out there!!!
