The olympics just ended in London and without cable at home I was mostly crawling around news sites online to get my olympics fix. I was excited to find that beyond the typical and very excellent sports photography inundating papers and blogs, there were a few more artistic styles being popularized by photographers. One of … More Tilt-shift Photography
Hi Everyone! It’s been a while since my last post but I’ve been busy sorting through notes, making plans and getting back into the swing of things in New Haven. I’m hoping to put up some last pictures and videos from the Europe trip over the next week or so. For the first installment head … More Europe Photos Are Up!
Well, my flights were nice and smooth and now I’m safe back in the US. I’m actually traveling again. I arrived home in New Haven at about 12:30 am local time (feeling like 7:30 am to me) and after a few hours of sleep, now I’m on a bus headed to Boston to celebrate the … More Safe, back in the USA
Well, I’m in the airport getting ready to leave Greece. Hard to believe how quickly this trip has gone by. Let me share a few of the stories from the last couple of days. I left Rome very early Sunday morning to take the 4.5 hour drive to Bari and to the ferry that would … More Back in Athens
So this topic deserves more, perhaps I’ll do a big comparison at the end of my trip but I just wanted to show a few photos of some of the food I’ve had so far and talk about a few other dishes that stood out. Here’s a picture of my first snack in Athens before … More And a quick post about food
A little overdue but I have good Internet so here are some photos left over from Greece! Awesome sun protection gear! Trees growing along the ground due to extremely strong winds! Johannes and Clinton at work. Note our boat way down the slope! An island largely denuded by goats. The lizards were still there but … More Some last photos from Greece
There’s more to share about my time in Greece, but I just wanted to pass on to everyone that I am currently on a ferry headed to Bari Italy! Time for chapter two of my adventures! Stay tuned though for a last few notes about Greece once I can get some wifi access. Ciao!
I arrived in Kouphonissia early Tuesday morning, well before Johannes arrived on the island, so I decided to take a quick excursion to a nearby island that had never been surveyed for reptiles. As, for this I was working for Johannes, I was given permits to collect any reptiles I could find so we could … More Kouphonissia- field frustrations and redemption
I don’t even quite know where to begin telling you about yesterday’s epic field expedition. This was the reason I delayed my trip to Italy and wanted to stay in Greece a few extra days and I was not disappointed. These posts are getting a bit long and I have to run and do some … More 8 islands, 14 hours, and 36 lizards
After some ten and a half hours of sleep last night we got up ready to start another day of field research. This time we only had one island to visit but unfortunately the boat owners weren’t available until the afternoon. We were hoping to get the research done in time to rest during the … More Amorgos day 2
