It’s been a challenge to get out and shoot anything new over the past month, so I finally decided to start scanning some old photos. I thought it would be fun to share some photos from my Europe backpacking trip in the spring of 1999. This was before I was into photography and I actually…
Last week, I found myself going through photos I took of our honeymoon trip to Switzerland back in 2006. We decided to try and beat the crowds by going in the off season at the end of March. Plus, my wife ran in the Rome marathon. These were all taken on my first point and…
Time for another photo project. This one will focus on making the subjects in the photos appear as if they were miniature. This effect is normally created using a tilt-shift lens which allows both the rotation of the lens plane relative to the image plane, and the movement of the lens parallel to the image…
I was trying to recall why we actually stopped in Brig, and can’t… pretty much because there’s nothing to recall. It’s a small picturesque town at the foot of the northern slope of the Simplon Pass in southern Switzerland, just over the Italian border. During our 2006 trip, it was our first stop after leaving…

Located at the end of the Lauterbrunnen valley, perched high above on a cliff, this small village in the Swiss Alps has it all. Which is to say has nothing… which is absolutely perfect. The village of 130 residents was saved…
Back in early April 2006, my wife and I were on our 2 1/2 week honeymoon in Switzerland and visited the northern Swiss town of Schaffhausen. Are only reason for going there was that we saw it on a map. I recall having a pint in a Zurich pub and talking with a Swiss girl who asked…
I was originally going to lump this post in with a review of old photos, but I like the images so much and wanted to discuss them in more detail, that I thought they warranted their own post. Back in late March 2006, my wife Stephanie and I embarked on a delayed honeymoon to Switzerland for 2…
I spent some more time over the Christmas holidays going over some old photos seeing if there were anymore hidden gems, and I’ve pulled out another 6 that I felt were worthy of a little image touch up and display. For a look at my first review of old photos, click here. I love this…
