Totally Awesome!

Someone has finally provided an interactive map of the most photographed places in the world, and, naturally, it would be Google! It’s like a map with a heat overlay. The hottest areas are the places with the most uploaded photos in Google’s Panoramio service. You can filter by region or the type of location you want to see. You can… Continue reading

Exciting Birth Announcement!

Well, indeed! I am pleased to announce the birth of twins! Budapest and the Czech Republic! The 750 photos from the trip to these two locations, back in 2010, are finally available! Yes, it took a while for me to get them online, but these galleries are worth the wait. It’s impossible to know which country I enjoyed the most… Continue reading

Hair Brain Idea of the Year

Image via Wikipedia It’s the season.  Busy, busy, busy! The last few weeks have been crazy:  the Haunted House extravaganza for Halloween (we do it up big here in the hood), a three day business trip to the east coast, a two week vacation to Budapest and Prague, returning home to put away the Halloween Haunted House and set up… Continue reading

Thank Goodness for MediaTemple

My hosting service is MediaTemple. They have 24 hour phone support. They are awesome about helping the techno-illiterate, like me. When I was in Budapest and Prague last week, I published 61 pictures, and my blog publishing platform on the MovableType side went berserk! Every time I would attempt to do anything, MT would log me out. I had never… Continue reading

Budapest & Prague: Day Six (Czech Castles)

Today involved a lot of driving as we set out to see two castles with Margarita. We ended up going to three of them as the first one was (as is typical at this time of year) closed for the season—time for cleaning and maintenance. Rain was in the forecast, but, as you can see, instead, the entire day was… Continue reading

Budapest & Prague: Day Three (17,508 @ 8.45 in Budapest)

Today was self-directed exploration.  The forecast called for rain, but that didn’t stop me.  Rain jacket packed in the camera backpack, and off I went.  Thankfully, it never rained, and the overcast made for nice lighting. The day began gray and a bit misty but quickly became just heavily overcast.  I walked over the Chain Bridge, shooting pictures along the… Continue reading

Budapest & Prague: Day Two (Budapest)

Today we spent over 5 hours on a private tour of Budapest. Our guide, Karyn, and driver were excellent, making for a spectacular experience. Here’s just a bit… The Jewish Ghetto I think one of the most powerful things that will remain with me from today was hearing about and seeing the Jewish history in the Jewish Ghetto–the area where… Continue reading

Budapest & Prague: Day One (Travel Day to Budapest)

Today was a travel day:  from Los Angeles through Paris and on to Budapest via Air France and then Malev.  The food on the Air France flight was the best I’ve ever had on a plane.  Superb!  The temperature on the plane was so hot though, I couldn’t sleep at all.  During breakfast I asked the flight attendant if he… Continue reading
