NYC Street Art : Walk Around the Lower East Side
We recently had the pleasure of a day off in old stomping grounds, New York City. As we ambled aimlessly through the Lower East Side and Alphabet City, enjoying some snacks and adult beverages, we couldn’t help but snap some photos of some great NYC street art. Everything from stickers and wheatpaste pieces to full-building painted murals and […]
Cape Cod Winter: An Out of “Season” Photo Gallery
Cape Cod in the winter?!? It’s always fun and interesting to see destinations from a different perspective. Those of you who have visited Cape Cod know all too well the hustle and bustle of summers on the Cape. Tamara grew up here and has seen the range of all the seasons many times. For me, […]
Year in Review: Top Travel Photos of 2015
Our not-so-normal flow: work intensely, save, and then take some time for extended personal travel, was disrupted in 2015 as we thoroughly combined work and downtime.

It can convey a personal message, or it can be a broader reflection of culture and the conditions of the society in which it’s found. While the word graffiti has negative connotations, […]
Cartagena Doors: Infinitely Photogenic
To say we took a lot of photos in Cartagena is an understatement. The doors of Cartagena in particular continuously stopped us in our tracks, begging us to photograph them. We’re not sure if it’s the sheer size, the interesting design of smaller, inset doors, the ornate door knockers or the endless variety of […]
Underwater Photography: Bahamas
Scuba diving is one of our absolute favorite things to do. The feeling we get while underwater is one of absolute peace and calm. There’s a whole other world below the waves that fascinates us. The colors and shapes are endlessly interesting, though hard to capture on film. Experts in underwater photography are truly talented […]

Short trips early in the year took us to Kiawah Island, Savannah and the Virgin Islands. In the early spring we focused on health and exercise, trying to work […]
