Most of the photos that I take are landscapes. Part of it is because I feel uncomfortable taking street-shots, part of it is that people move around too much, and part of it is that I often find myself outside of the city when traveling. … [Read more...] about Streetscape in Salzburg, Austria

If you go to the Tomales Bay Oyster company, make sure that you bring everything but the oysters. I learned that the hard way, as we were caught with no drinks, side dishes or equipment for shucking oysters. Next time I will come more prepared. On the bright side, if you don't eat the oysters you can just explore around Tomales bay, which is not a bad alternative. At low … [Read more...] about Tomales Bay Near Point Reyes, California
