Sunday set: Perspectives

South of France … A few vintage shots out of the Summit Voice archives, from a 2014 trek through southern France. Pano sweeps are useful when you’re trying to capture a landscape as grand as the Gorge du Verdon, the Grand Canyon of France, or the broad beaches on the Porquerolles Island, a car-free enclaveContinue reading “Sunday set: Perspectives”

Morning photo: Stop bugging me!

Insect of the world … OK, so I’m not a super tech geek when it comes to my iPhone, and even though I’ve thought about getting some of those fancy external lenses, I can’t reach that deep into my pocket. Maybe someday … but in the meantime, I do get lucky every now and thenContinue reading “Morning photo: Stop bugging me!”

Sunday set: Winter dreams

Morning photo: Market colors

Ahhh, Provence! Even in mid-November, the markets of southern France were bustling with vendors and shoppers all jostling over a fine selection of goodies for those pre-holiday season meals. Its not all that far from the Provence to areas where certain types of produce can grow nearly all year round, and the tangerines from NorthContinue reading “Morning photo: Market colors”

Morning photo: Paris by night

Metro tour … I spent the better part of last week in Paris covering the COP21 climate talks at the Le Bourget conference center, where nearly 200 countries agreed to try and curb global greenhouse gas emissions and to shift the world to a low-carbon, sustainable future. I didn’t have a lot of time toContinue reading “Morning photo: Paris by night”

Morning photo: Winter color

The brighter the better … The only possible theme you could find running through this set of images is my love of bold and bright color, and when I saw the bubble-blower on the Mariahilferstrasse in Vienna a few days ago, I definitely got back in touch with my inner child, whose voice always tellsContinue reading “Morning photo: Winter color”
