Rome, Italy - May 28, 2011

This is a picture of what is across the street from the Colosseum. When I developed this roll of film I found it curious that this image was sandwiched between two negatives of the Colosseum. Let's see, the Colosseum is a 2000+ year old structure, I can't fathom what used to be across the street that long ago...but in modern times, it's a hot dog stand (click picture to view larger image, food stand on top of hill, in the centre). That's the reason I took this picture - I saw this juxtaposition of modern vs. antiquity.  But, come to think of it, there must have been food stands that long ago too right?  Maybe just not for hot dogs in particular.

Crowds, Lights & Times Square

New York City - May 2009

I was looking at this photograph to see if there was anything more to it than just a mass of people and tall buildings - which of course is what is an expected sight in Times Square NYC and is interesting to look at in its own right - but I think what makes this picture work for me is the space/sky between the buildings and the curved opening happening in foreground of the crowd; the open spaces I think creates a unity, as if giving the photo some breathing space while complimenting the busy elements.

Venice - May 24, 2011

Venice has innumerable pathways, churches at unexpected corners, tight alleys with shops, restaurants, and hotels all side by side...this photo was from my excursion of discovering those such places. I took this picture because I saw this juxtaposition of an imposing white church with grand pillars beside what could be someone's home with potted plants outside their window.
