We had just gotten done canoeing in a river with crocodiles and bull sharks and were heading back to the biological station from a long day. The beach was just covered in hermit crabs and I wanted to get a picture from their perspective of us walking by.

While everyone was looking for the cheapest silver they could find in the silver capital of the world, I found this old man reposed opposite a cobblestone street from another old, blind man who was playing his guitar.

This picture is a close up of the famous clock in Prague. I was intrigued by how many people would come to see this clock at every strike of the hour and I wanted to capture its magic through the finer details.

As our group hiked through Cinque Terre, Italy we stopped in the small town of Corniglia and I stumbled upon this church with two Italian women deep in conversation. It was the perfect stereo typical Italian setting: locals, the sunset, and a beautiful church older than the two women combined.
