Greetings beautiful blog people. Welcome to the newly renovated visual:ramblings.

The idea here is not to simply showcase my work, but to establish and maintain an interactive environment where readers and contributors become one in the same - as this space does not belong to me, but to all who breathe life into it through reading, embracing and reacting to its visual randomness. I sincerely hope that you enjoy your visit and look forward to a wonderful journey together.

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:

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