The Road Not Taken: The Best of Before the Blog

In the past, my taking photographs was very hit and miss. I remember (mentally) one trip to England where I took a total of three photos... and two of them were on the ferry over the English Channel. Another trip to Italy, I returned with probably 20+ rolls of film (before digital media.)

In the fall of 2008, I spent four months in Germany (with a holiday stop over in Costa Rica) and I promised myself that I would actively pull out my camera and take pictures. Pictures for myself, as well as pictures to share with others.

At this time, I had not really looked into how to improve the composition of my photos, so I make no apologies for the quality of the photos. I took pictures of things that I thought were interesting, or that would be memorable. Interestingly enough, most of the better pictures could have been taken anywhere, but there are some of the stand outs.
