I just went through some pictures from last year and realized once again how lucky I am to be able to have so many amazing vacations…. And now it’s time to make some plans for 2012! Can’t wait to create more beautiful memories with the people that I love :)

Food, Wine & Good Company

This image is nothing special from a photography standpoint, but I like it for a simple reason: it combines three elements that to me can make any day a special day: good food, good wine, and, most importantly, good company. When the flavors of fresh ingredients combine with the complex aromas of a good wine, and all of this happens while engaging in stimulating conversation – now that’s bliss. What else does one really need for a happy life? Not much :)

Light and Water

Sometimes simple water features can make for nice photographs…

This local guy’s shack was the perfect place to relax in a hammock and enjoy a few cold beers… and a great spot to watch a tropical thunderstorm.

Monsoon Season

My trip to Thailand was right in the middle of monsoon season, so in addition to many hot, sunny days there were a few days with some pretty amazing and dramatic weather – usually announced by clouds like these. I love a nice, heavy, tropical rain on a hot day, everything just seems so lush afterwards :)

This is just one of many spectacular sunsets I enjoyed in Thailand. It is sooo hard going back to work after a vacation :)

…for painterly photos. This is another sunrise shot from my recent Cancun vacation. It has a definitive Monet-ish feel to it :)
