The beautiful city of  Salzburg, Austria. I have been to this wonderful place twice with my sweetie. We go there and never get bored of this city ever. So much history here. In the background is the Fortress which is nearly 1300 years old. Then in the foreground of the Fortress you can see the steeples of a 1200 year old Cathedral. Mozart was also born here. In the direct foreground of this photo is the Palace Gardens where Julie Andrews and the children of the Sound of Music danced and sang Doe-a-Deer. We will be heading back to this Beautiful city yet again in December, but this time we are bringing my daughter as a present for her 18th Birthday. Looking forward to bring back many pictures.    

During recent travels I had good opportunities to shoot portraits of my wife and oldest daughter.  Our youngest doesn't usually sit still long enough.  Here is one of the best shots of my wife, taken at Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport.  You can't even tell she's jetlagged.  Here she is at an outdoor cafe in Salzburg having a good laugh. During our weekend in Heidelberg, Kirstin and I walked the Philosopher's Way.  I loved the way the lighting worked out on that shot.  The Philosopher's Way is a beautiful series of trails that take you way up above the city.  Here is another shot of K on our walk. You can tell on this one she's getting a bit impatient with the old man.  I managed to get her to smile on this shot.  At a different time in Heidelberg I caught her with this blue eye staring her down.  All of these were shot with natural light.
