09.02.10 White Rock Lake
Dallas is boring. White Rock Lake doubly so. I took some pictures though while out there a few weeks back.

Once I got the itch to take portraits again, I did some brief scouting of a spot I had used last summer – an undeveloped subdivision in McKinney. Wasn’t sure if it’d still be just as untouched as it had been, and luckily, it was. Shooting here as much as possible while I can, to say the least. Took some portraits of Hannah to start.
Went to the same spot from the ‘Series of crops’ post, this time to do some portraits with Ashley.
I took some photos out around some fields of corn end of July. They’re gone now, so not sure I got anything I liked, but at least I took pictures while they were up.
One more post of Venice after this one. It’s been a little over a month now since the trip. This post is actually a combo of two days. Essentially, at this point in the trip, I had reached the limits of my mental capacity for information and constant exploration. But that didn’t mean I didn’t stop appreciating the place.
The second full day of Venice was spent outside the lagoon – we traveled the Veneto province, mainly to observe the architectural designs of Palladio. It was an enjoyable day, despite spurts of rain.
This second bit is the other half of Florence. It’s essentially just one long day of walking through the city. Not too much more (really?) after this post (transit to Venice comes next).
These are the first few days from Florence. The average shoot/keep ratio started to drop a bit. Compared with Rome, Florence wasn’t as picture ready. Plenty of street life for sure, but I was still trying to get comfortable with the surroundings. I tend to be a shy shooter as it is. Regardless, I did what I could.
The eighth day of the trip, we departed Rome by bus to Florence. Before we arrived, we took some side trips to a couple of other Tuscan towns: Pienza, in the heart of the iconic countryside, and Siena, an historic medieval town.
I’m playing a bit of catch up and posting the rest of the images from Rome. Most of it consists of more wanderings through the streets, although on day 6, I went to Hadrian’s Villa and Villa d’Este.
