I recently chose my favorite 25 photographs that I've taken in the year since my Grandma gave me a digital camera.
Český Krumlov, Czech Republic, 2006.
Mayrhofen, Austria, 2006.
Dresden, Germany, 2006.
This 102-meter-long "Procession of Princes" mural depicts the succession of Saxon rulers dating back to 1127.
Prague, Czech Republic, 2006.
My girlfriend, Yuki, on the Charles Bridge. I like the (completely accidental) disparity in focus between Yuki and the random smiling guy at far left. (Click on the image for a better look.)
Prague, Czech Republic, 2006.
An observation tower modeled after the Eiffel Tower in Paris, though the tower in Paris is five times taller.
Prague, Czech Republic, 2006.
The tower from the previous picture is at far left.
Prague, Czech Republic, 2006.
Prague, Czech Republic, 2006.
Yuki at a restaurant.
Warsaw, Poland, 2006.
The Palace of Culture and Science.
Krakow, Poland, 2006.
I actually did a lot of tricky editing to make the building more visible through the haze.
Krakow, Poland, 2006.
Waweł Castle on the Wisła River.
Malaga, Spain, 2006.
A cliché picture, but I still like it.
Barcelona, Spain, 2007.
Circumstances helped romanticize this picture. I took it on my way home from a party as the sun was rising over Barcelona around 8am on January 1st.
Riga, Latvia, 2007.
Krakow, Poland, 2007.
St. Mary's Basilica.
Vienna, Austria, 2007.
The formula for pi, in German, followed by a numerical approximation to many hundreds of decimal places, extending around several corners of a subway corridor.
Niegowonice, Poland, 2007.
There's too much clutter in the background, but I love everything about the subjects here, particularly their odd relation to each other. The guy in the foreground is my friend, Adam. The girl was with a group of Polish kids celebrating a christening.
Berchtesgaden, Germany, 2007.
The Königssee (King's Lake). I actually reduced the glare on the lake and altered some of the colors here by holding polarized sunglasses in front of the camera lens.
Mayrhofen, Austria, 2007.
My dad and uncle.
Mayrhofen, Austria, 2007.
Obergurgl, Austria, 2007.
Obergurgl, Austria, 2007.
There's a trail out of frame that we climbed to get to the hut you see at the top. Also note the other hikers at bottom right.
Obergurgl, Austria, 2007.
This was taken from a mountain ridge that marks the border between Italy and Austria, looking into Italy.
Obergurgl, Austria, 2007.
The objects at the bottom are: a black rock, two white sheep sleeping on top of each other, and a brown sheep by itself.
Munich, Germany, 2007.
The Bavaria Statue at sunset. I'll admit I doctored the colors a little.

Wow! You have become quite the photographer! Have you shown these to Ken? I bet he would be interested and would feel proud to have been an influence.
I really like all the pictures, except the one of Yuki on the Charles bridge. She is in too much darkness and it is hard to distinguish her hair. It makes the silouette look a little weird.
How do you change the colors? On Picasa I bet.
On second look, I found the 3 purple/ brown seats and one green one rather interesting. The picture made me ask why.
I'm really impressed:) The Palace of C'n'S in Warsaw looks in the pic much better then in reality;) Good job!
Yay for starting the blog. I really enjoyed your photos, and thanks for making them fully accessible via RSS feed.
You make me want to go to eastern Europe.
When I started reading I assumed it was going to be 25 pictures of us. You proved me wrong.
Have to say the pic of Dresden was cool to see, since I just finished Slaughterhouse-five. Also its cool to see that you're still alive.
Fantastic stuff man. Makes me want to quit my job, pack up and travel again. Wait, I did that last week and I'm on my way to Portland, Oregon, for no other reason than I hear it's sweet.
Take care and let me know what the heck you're up to.
I look forward to being a faithful reader.
