Fresh start

Somewhere in Firenze Italy.

Cats, cats & more cats!

For the last couple of months I've been volunteering at a local no-kill shelter. I photograph the cats and kittens that are available for adoption and post them on the shelter's website. It's been a lot of fun! It's also been really hard to come home empty handed as so many of them will make great companions! Here's a sampling of some felines that are still looking for a forever home. You can check out the shelter's website here.

Love locks

Lovers write their names on brass locks like these and throw the key into the Arno River to show how strong their love is. It's the American equivalent of carving your initials into a tree.

Ponte Vecchio Bridge

Just got back from a whirlwind trip to Italy! Spanning the Arno River in Firenze (Florence), this bridge is a mere 665 years old!

Leo & Mya

If you've read the book "Marley and Me" you have some idea of what these two labrador retrievers are like. Mya, the younger of the two and still growing up, is learning the navigate the ways of the world. Leo, the mature one, does his best to teach her what he can, but she just wants to learn all on her own. Add some water to the craziness and all mayhem breaks loose. By the time I was done with this photo shoot, I was soaked from head to toe!

Field of Lace

Found this field of Queen Anne's lace and experimented with some processing techniques.
