Hercules & Cacus statue in Florence.
This was shot at a much different than tourist angle and I'm quite proud of the composition :)

Entries into Smithsonian Photo Contest: Arno River Rowers Florence

The late afternoon light was pouring in and flooding with its soft touch Rodin's lovers statue in the Rodin Museum in Paris as I took this picture. I've darkened it, added contrast and think it is truly lovely, sensual, and a moment of both light and statue art combined in the best possible way.

One of my favorite all time photographic memories/moments/meditations.
A nun was praying in the Mt St Michel Abbey in France where I was able to capture this reverent moment as a nun, with head slightly tilted and in white starched robe, kneels on the hard floor in prayer, and contemplation, as light streams through the centuries old windows.

Sad Eagle.
This was a "show eagle" for the Tacoma City Zoo.

Looks forlorn and sad and he looks directly at me and my camera.
