From my first trip to Asia – a picture of the tuned mass damper at the top of Taipei 101. This is a 728 ton ‘ball’ of steel suspended near the top of a 101 story building so that the building doesn’t sway too much in the wind and earthquakes… Continue reading
From the same airshow as the previous Blue Angels shot, this one is of one of my favorite aircraft as a kid, the A10. The fun facts that I remember, or as the case may be, misremember (see previous Wikipedia link if you want real information): The A10’s the cockpit,… Continue reading
I’m not sure if I like airshows more than average, or if I’ve just been to more airshows than average, but I’m quite certain one of the two is true. Of course, airshows + any lens longer than 200mm = time to practice photography. With that in mind, don’t be… Continue reading
This is the Toronto Skywalk, picture taken when Steve, Mark, Elizabeth and I went for a long weekend in Canada sometime around my Junior or Senior year at MSU. The trip started pretty poorly when the back window of Elizabeth’s car exploded for reasons that we still don’t understand. We… Continue reading
Last shot from Europe for a bit… This is a picture of the Edinburgh Castle in Scotland. It wasn’t the nicest weather when we were there – as is reflected in the sky, but for the most part it didn’t rain. We were only really there for one full day… Continue reading
Continuing with the European tour theme, here’s a shot of the Eiffel Tower. We visited Paris over a weekend that included Bastille Day (July 14th) which is the day on which the start of the French Revolution started. It’s celebrated similar to our 4th of July with airshows and explosions. … Continue reading
This was taken on the way to Stonehenge on a side-stop to get out of the van, stretch and see a few more things along the way. I don’t think there’s anything famous about this house in particular, but our guide was showing us some of the architecture that had… Continue reading
This was taken on the same ‘Germany trip’ (it was a three and a half month trip and 11 other countries were visited in that time) on a one week-long break around the middle of that time when we went to the UK. A small bunch of us, myself included,… Continue reading
I’ve been digging through my picture repository lately with the intention of paring down the photos I keep to at least just the ones that I deem decent. I’ve also been interested in the idea of doing a daily photo for a while. I think some of the daily photo… Continue reading
