This year I decided to do something different. I decided to share my 2013 travel year through my Instagram photos. These are my favorite photos as seen on Instagram.

When I was invited to take a group tour from Toronto to Niagara Falls, I was not feeling it. I do not do group tours! If I can make it work on my own, I prefer to do so.

Photo Tour: Washington DC in Black & White
December 26, 2012 By
While in DC, the photos I took during the first day weren’t as vibrant as they could have been do to the filter I had on my lens. And, I didn’t notice it until it was pretty much too late. The quick fix was making some of them Black & White. *To enlarge … [Read more...]
