Title: Sunrise in Barletta

Story: While in Barletta, my hotel was right across the street from the beach. One morning, really early, my friend and I got up and went to the beach to watch the sunrise. It was absolutely breathtaking.

Title: The Explorer

Walking through the ruins of the Colosseum, I was arrested when I saw these repeating squared doorways. Anytime I see repeating designs in structures, I am always struck by their form and function. These doorways were probably meant to support the upper level of seats and walkways. It was pure luck that I managed to…

Title: Ancient Pathways

Story: This day was the perfect day to explore the area near the Colosseum, the Forum and Palantine Hill. The blue sky with fluffy white clouds and the beautiful green of the tree tops made this walk breathtaking. History was unfolded and display right on front of my eyes. I loved it here.

Title: Glorious Doors

Story: An entryway should set the tone of what is inside. As I walked up to this church, the most striking thing besides knowing it part of antiquity were the doors. The doors had protruding figures cast into them. This door has a woman bowing down on the bottom right and what appears to be…

Title: Sun Beam

Story: My first evening in Florence, my friend and I took a walk. As were walking past this church, I noticed how the sun was reflecting through the top of the done. It was gorgeous and I knew I had to capture this ephemeral beauty. #florence #sunbeam #dusk #picoftheday #potd #photooftheday #goaheadtours #italy — in…

Title: Venice at Night

Story: Riding in a vaporetto down the Grand Canal at night as the city lights up is one of the most breathtaking experiences I had while in Italy. Paris, I think Venice might be in the running for the moniker of “city of lights.” #venice #italy #cityoflights #picoftheday #potd #photooftheday #photography #goaheadtours #grandcanale #vaporetto #nofilter…

Title: Boneyard Beach

Story: After an extensive walk, an amazing expanse of beach blossomed into view. I was awestruck. As we walked down the beach, there were many remnants of trees, some of which become submerged during high tide. Walking along this amazingly beautiful hidden beach opened my eyes to how much we can miss out on if…

Title: The Breezeway

Early one morning while in Charleston, I went on a photography tour at Boneyad Beach. To get to the beach, you have to walk down a really long and creepy breezeway. There was a high level of fear of what was lurking in the murky depths of the water, but once I reached the other…

Brooklyn Navy Yard Photography Tour

If you’re like me, when you see an interesting restricted area, your first thought is “how can I gain access to this area without potentially being arrested?” Add a decaying structure to that restricted area and I am all for doing some amateur sleuthing. Along the waterfront in Wallabout Basin area in Brooklyn, NY sits…

2015 Year in Review

As I reflect on how my life has changed in the past year, I’ve come to realize that 2015 was a year of adventure, cooking, traveling, eating delicious meals and trying new things.  After 2014, a year where I focused on cleaning up my finances by paying off all my credit card debt, I realized…
