I got to spend a summer in Greece in 2002. I was still shooting in film then, and my friend was nice enough to scan some of my favorites into digital format for me. These pictures were taken with a Canon Rebel 35mm. I traveled around the country for 4 weeks, enjoying the sites. I was acutally robbed when I was there. It happened at a hotel on the beachs of Mykonos. I was sleeping in my room with a friend and someone climbed up to our second story balcony, came in the patio doors, and grabbed my wallet out from my bag next to my bed. It is presumed that they sprayed some kind of sleeping drugs or something in the room, because there were 7 rooms in a row hit from that hotel and no one woke up. I had only gone to bed at 4am and we woke at 7a to see my credit cards, license, and other personal items from my wallet thrown down the street. It seems the purpetrator was only after cash, thank goodness.

The rest of the country was very beautiful and hopefully you’ll enjoy some of my favorite snapshots of my trip.

San Diego, CA Night Photography

I finally got out to do some night shooting around town here and I am very happy with what I came up with. I met some other photographers that were able to instruct me on how to capture the best possible image.

I was able to set my shutter speed on my camera to “bulb” settings in order to manually control when the shutter opens and closes. A tripod was used as well as a remote shutter release. The exposure on these pictures ranges from 30 seconds to 3 minutes.
Enjoy and comment!

Jessy's Day in London

My Day in London '06

Yes, Yes, I know…It took me two and a half years to get these pictures processed into an album online. But I’m glad I waited! The Lightroom software has these nifty little options for creating quick albums. I had a very long layover in London, England on my way to Entebbe, Uganda and decided to hop on a bus tour to make use of the day. It was an expensive little excursion because just the taxi ride from the airport to the bus stop was $80. In my experience, if you have the chance..take a bus tour in any city you’re in. They are simply the best way to see everything cheap. Here is a nice tour of London via snapshots! Enjoy!
