Berlin, Germany
I went to Berlin earlier this year and it was such an interesting place that I enjoyed immensely. First we started off with a trip to the Berlin Wall were we discussed current times and how little the world has progressed. Details of the Berlin Wall. The thing I loved most about Berlin was how many photography museums, galleries, and exhibitions there seemed to be. After being in Florence for so long it was so amazing to enter a city that embraced the contemporary aspects of


Paris, France
Views from the plane. Cute French Cafes for the win. Best breakfast I think I've ever enjoyed. So simple and it made me so so happy. Even the hostels in Paris are beautiful. My roommates. Gotta love a good duck photo. Tallest building in Paris. View of the cemetery that we spent some time exploring. Typical photo of the Eiffel Tower. The Mona Lisa People Snapping photos of the Mona Lisa. Me looking at people snapping photos of the Mona Lisa. MY nook. I cried here because I wa


Textures of Paris

Click through to see. My professor Fabio. Another wonderful professor at Kent State Florence. And that was my time in Milan.


Potential Energy- London
Every city is bright and shining at first glance. When you look longer and harder you begin to notice the cracks in the sidewalk and the graffiti on the wall. You notice the store that didn't make it and closed down. It isn't perfect. It isn't shining. For people that have lived in big cities it is sometimes these "imperfections" that give one comfort.

Kinetic Energy- London
There is something I love about cities. I think it it their ability to transform in front of one's eyes. One street can be bustling and loud and the next can be calm and quiet. Big city life will always attract me. In this collection of photos shot in London in early march, I try to capture the essence of the bright aspects of city life, and the storm that is neon lights and public transportation. This is London as seen by the eyes of a newcomer.
