“Hotel Choiseul” in Schamp Guides
A few weeks, I was contacted by Emma Williams, managing editor of Schmap Guides (online dynamic travel guides), who let me know that my photograph of Hotel Choiseul had been shortlisted by Schmap to go into the Nice guide. This week, I just found out that my photo was selected for the guide. So you can see it here. It’s small (it’s for a travel guide), but when you click on the photo there’s a link back to my Flickr pro site. Pretty... Read More
“Bon Voyage” – Photo Book of France
I’ve just released a photography coffee table book with images from my most recent trip to Nice, Paris, and Monte Carlo. The photos were taken during the week of November 3-10, and the book is simply a record of the people and places that I visited. The book is for sale online through my Blurb bookstore (see my Blurb badge below). And you can click on the badge to preview the first few pages of the book. You can order the book in hardback or...

Round and Round
Ferris Wheel (in color), originally uploaded by thinklia. Wow! Check out this huge ferris wheel near the Champs-Elysees. I was reminded of this today when I saw a new commercial for some bladder-control medicine. There are these little water balloons touring Paris (cartoons, of course!), and while they’re riding around on a double decker tour bus, they pass by this ferris wheel. It was a completely silly commercial, but I had to smile when... Read More
Pulsion
Pulsion, originally uploaded by thinklia. I really love this photo. I took this in Monaco at the carnival site down by the water. This man has the perfect stance, and the colors against the cloudy sky just begged to be photographed. Christa and I later rode this ride, Pulsion. It was insane. It creaked the whole time we were on it, which was really scary. I want to do a series of carnival photos now. I need to find another carnival soon. The colors... Read More
The Palace – Monaco
The Palace – Monaco Originally uploaded by thinklia I love Monaco. Unfortunately, I’m not rich enough to live there. But nevertheless, it’s a good dream to have. This is a photo in front of the palace. We were waiting for the changing of the guards–which occurs everyday at 11:55 a.m. SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "The Palace – Monaco", url: "http://www.thinklia.com/2007/11/15/the-palace-monaco/" }); Read More
I Miss France
Brandon and I just returned from a wonderful week in France, where we strolled through the streets of Nice and Paris and gawked at expensive cars parading around Monte Carlo, Monaco. It’s back to work, back to school, and I am totally bummed. I thought that it might be a bit of jet lag, but now I realize that I’m just sad. I sat in my cubicle at work today, and I thought about how a lot of what I’m doing has very little value–to... Read More
Worldly Wheelchair Outside Deli
Worldly Wheelchair Outside Deli Originally uploaded by thinklia We were in Toronto to visit family who had just moved there from the Philippines. They bought a new house a month or so before our visit and were having a house blessing on this day. Mom and Dad and their friend (a flamboyantly gay, plump Filipino guy) had to stop to pick up lechon (a roasted pig) for the party. My parents’ gay friend is from Toronto, so he rode in the car with us... Read More
