We're leaving for our annual excursion south in one week! I have watched my style and creativity ebb and flow specifically here in Miami. It's a great privilege to get out of the frigid north for even a week. It seems to shorten the winter a bit but I also tune up and experiment on these excursions. This image is a bit playful in trying to bring out the sun rays through underexposure, post processing in NIK, cloning out the ships and other distractions through photoshop and lightroom CC. Yet ominous in content and drama. See you in a week!

What can I say! Its PISA!!!

Climbing the Duomo in Florence is WAY WAY more demanding, however even though Pisa may be a bit touristy, I think this image conveys the beauty of the architecture and location of this stunning city. 

San Gimignano is a beautiful town south of Florence which embodies the Tuscan landscape, charm, and beauty. It was rainy and overcast and we didn't care one bit!

About a month after Red, my step father passed I was in Spring Hill, looking for cartharsis, perhaps even closure. I found this.

Pine Island~

On my second trip to Italia, this time sober. I enjoyed myself and my time there more than I thought possible. It is a beautiful country, with welcoming people. I look forward to going back, I feel like I have unfinished business there.
