A little fun while moving in






Okay, I know it's about two months late, but I'm finally posting my photos from my move-in. Dad helped me out and we had a lot of fun taking breaks around the area. We went to Edgar Evins State Park, and had a little swim and hike.

teapots in the making

i know i said the next update would be from elsewhere, but i got excited about something and decided to post.

i've been making teapots again. inspired by the moorish architecture i saw while traveling in spain, i have been working on a series of teapots i'm calling "the alhambra series."

look at the beautiful detail in the carvings at the alhambra in granada, which i tried to imitate in the teapots (one pic here is from the alcazar in sevilla, also with a similar history). i posted a couple of pictures from the first two teapots in this series back in the spring.





the teapot photos were taken before glazing. soon i'll have the final product to show.

the big move


it's really happening, folks. the movers came today and i'm now without a bed and am down to a suitcase full of clothes (not that it troubles me much to live like that). starting wednesday the roadtrip will begin. next updates will be from my new place.

the spirit of italy

while i was there, italy's national team was playing a soccer game, and people were crowded into plazas and bars watching the game on any screen available.

and of course, the food of italy is unbelievable!

venice

Venice and India are two of my favorite places to photograph (coincidentally they're also two of my favorite places to eat!). On my trip to Venice last weekend, I found myself thinking that every photo I was taking was a cliche. I mean, isn't Venice one of every photographer's places to take pictures? Or maybe it's just because I've already been there, but I often felt like I'd already seen the picture before. Despite all these doubts about photographing in Venice, I thought I'd still post a few photos, because it IS a beautiful and charming place.
