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 […]

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. This year’s work contract was structured very differently and forced allowed us to take sizeable chunks of time off. Although these times were unpaid, we were sometimes compensated with […]

Street Art: Philadephia Murals

Du Bois and Engine #11, a historical […]
Cartagena Doors: Infinitely Photogenic

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 […]

The Winner of Travel Photo Roulette Round 64 Is . . .
When selecting the theme, “Dance” for this round of Travel Photo Roulette, we wanted to celebrate how the human body in motion has the power to both express and evoke emotion.
