Travels
The Road to Austin, TX
Now the part that was missing in this adventure is no more: the first 1,300 miles from Salt Lake City, UT, to Austin, TX. Most notably in this part of the trip was our stop in Roswell, NM, a stop I’ve waited at least 15 years to make. As a teenager growing up with the [...]
The Road from Nowhere
I’m doing thins a bit different today. I’ll first post the pictures of our road trip from Salt Lake City, UT, to Austin, TX, from the way back. I hope you enjoy those beautiful images of desolate places in the middle of nowhere, USA. I wanted you to see a little of what I saw [...]
Disney California Adventure
I divided my Disneyland day in two posts because I took so many pictures (1000+) on just ONE day. So I divided by parks, but rest assured I visited both of them on the same day. The Disney California Adventure park completely stole my heart on this visit though, from the absolutely adorable cast member [...]
Disneyland
The main attraction from my trip to California was, of course, Disneyland. I’m a big fan of the mouse and it’s theme parks, so I jumped on the opportunity to go visit as soon as I got the chance. Shalese actually had a friend working over at Disneyland, in Disney’s college program (which I’m an [...]
Long Beach, CA
The first leg of my latest trip outside of Utah started at Long Beach, CA. We were there for a short time, but the few hours spent in Long Beach will certainly always remain in my memories! We woke up to a beautiful sunrise at the beach, and went for a walk filled with amazing [...]
Downtown Disney & Pop Century – WDW
And to finish off my Disney Trip series, I bundled together here a bunch of pictures. First, and foremost, the park I used to work at when I was at Disney, Downtown Disney! Well, yes, the specific part I worked at is gone, Pleasure Island looks nothing like the Pleasure Island I used to work [...]
Animal Kingdom – Walt Disney World
I could say I saved the best for last, but… when it comes to Disney Parks photography, they are all pretty much the best there are. But the Animal Kingdom is just so special for me. This park was the one Mike and I had the most fun at. We enjoyed watching the animals, and [...]
Epcot — Walt Disney World
So, funny thing happened this trip. My favorite park has always been Epcot, but in this trip, for some reason, it wasn’t as fun, and I don’t know why. Maybe the difference was that last time I was there, I didn’t get to see the entire park at once, I usually only had a couple [...]
Magic Kingdom – Walt Disney World
I thought I’d never be able to post this! I spent a lot of my free time going through those pictures and editing, and today, at last, I’m ready to share them with you! Magic Kingdom has always been one of my favorite Disney parks. The attractions are not super awesome, but the park compensates [...]
Hollywood Studios – Walt Disney World
And continuing with my series of posts about my AMAZING trip to Orlando Theme Parks (you can see my previous post about the Wizarding World of Harry Potter here). Below are the photos from the two visits we did to Hollywood Studios on this trip. (Most photos were taken by my camera, but there are [...]
Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Universal
Yes, the rumors are true, since the death of Dumbledore, the charms protecting Hogwarts have faded, and now muggles can finally see the real location of the famous wizarding school. And I was one of the lucky muggles that were able to visit Hogwarts. It rocks. The only bummer thing is that because of all [...]
Oldies – Traveling
A long time ago, I used to be totally obsessed with Fotolog, a photo-blogging site, in which you could only add one photo a day — or 6 if you were a paid member. At the beginning it was pretty brilliant, but like the myspaces of the world, its “improvements” made it worst and finally [...]
Road Trip, Day 03 – The Grand Canyon
Well, the Grand Canyon was.. grand. Ginormous and fantastic. I took so many pictures there it was hard to choose just the top ones! And there were so many opportunities to see wildlife, and hey, who doesn’t love some cute little squirrels or crows? Highlights:
Road Trip, Day 02 – US-89
Pretty incredible views in the road to the Grand Canyon. All the following photos were taken in the US-89 on the way South to Flagstaff, AZ, between Jacob Lake and Bitter Springs. Highlights: Full Gallery:
Road Trip, Day 02 – Bryce Canyon
Day 02 of our road trip was half spent in the Bryce Canyon. Spectacular views, I hope to be able to go back in the winter after a snowstorm, to see the contrast of the red rocks with the white snow. Highlights: Full Gallery:
Road Trip, Day 01 – Zion Canyon
Road Trip to Southern Utah, Grand Canyon and Las Vegas. Technically, day 01 was spent driving, so we’ll just jumble those two together and call it day 01, shall we? So we left SLC towards Parowan, UT (middle of nowhere) then on Saturday morning chose to go to Zion because the weather in Bryce was [...]
Washington, DC
I’m in Washington, DC, for a conference, but could not let the chance to see this city pass. So my boss and I came a day early to sightsee. I really enjoyed this day of tourism, and I wish I had at least 3 more to get to explore this town. I didn’t get a [...]
New York Pt 6 – Miscellaneous
Well, my New York Series is almost over. There were a few places we went/things we did that would not warrant an entire post dedicated to them, so this one is a miscellaneous collection of pictures of New York — not less important by any measure, they are pretty awesome! Time Square: Grand Central [...]
New York Pt 5 – Rockfeller Center
Empire State gets all the fame, but it’s the Rockfeller Center who has the best view and the best observatory of Manhattan. Ah, the view! You just can’t miss it. And a Panoramic shot for good measure: More photos: New York City Pt 1 – iPhone photos New York City Pt 2 – Coney Island [...]
New York Pt 4 – Central Park
Central Park is by far my favorite place in NYC. I wish we had a park like that here in Salt Lake as well, but yeah, not happening. Don’t get me wrong, we have good parks here too! But nothing as majestic as Central Park. I took a lot of pictures there (and we only walked a [...]
New York Pt 3 – Brooklyn Bridge
The Brooklyn Bridge is a New York Icon, and it is so very photogenic! They don’t build bridges like those anymore, do they? More photos: New York City Pt 1 – iPhone photos New York City Pt 2 – Coney Island New York City Pt 3 – Brooklyn Bridge New York City Pt 4 – [...]
New York Pt 2 – Coney Island
A friend suggested Coney Island for us to visit, so in a very cold Monday morning, we all caught the train that would take us to the Boardwalk/Amusement Park. I did have a suspicion that it might be closed, but still, we decided to risk it and see if it would be worth our while [...]
New York Pt 1 – Through the iPhone lens
This was my second trip to New York, the first was last January and I took some of the most memorable photos of my life at that time. They were so good, I got them printed not only to put on my walls, but they also made very good gifts. This time, I wanted to take [...]
