I've started a new public group on Facebook to showcase our travels around the world. The group is public so feel free to join and if you have pictures or video from your worldly travels, post it for all to see. Let's all share the traveling adventures!

But if you're curious, here's the Youtube playlist from that cruise:

During that cruise, we also took a LOT of pictures, both on the ship and during the stops in Key West and Havana. I'm still working to get those posted as well so stay tuned.

Ottheinrichsbau on the rightThe Ottheinrichsbau was built under Ottheinrich , after this 1556 had become Elector. The new palace was one of the first Renaissance buildings on German soil and is an important building of German Mannerism . For the Ottheinrichsbau older buildings were partially covered (glass hall building) or demolished (northern half of the Ludwigsbaues). In the east, the construction rests on the foundations of older buildings and on the outer defensive wall.

We've moved recently, I've had a change in my day job (for the better), and most importantly, it's Summer!  In Orlando, the types of events I cover seem to slow down a little in the Summer, which is just fine for me because I get to play a little more golf and do other things.

For the back half of 2018, I know I have a few photo related events coming up.

Rod Steward at Amway for the Orlando Sentinel - End of July

Germany for two weeks! - First half of September (ton of pics and youtube videos will come from this)

EDC Orlando 2018 - Nov 9 & 10 (ton of pics and youtube videos will come from this too)

Elton John at Amway for the Orlando Sentinel - End of November

I recently started working for the Nocturnal Times website (replacement for the Orlando Weekly) so I'll do some occasional Dj concerts out at Gilt Nightclub for them.  That's about it for now.

Here's the link for the videos:

The interviews are available as well:

After the photos are up, I have 5 interviews to cut and post to Youtube and then last but not least, I recorded 155 gigs of 4k resolution video of EDC between both days so I'll be posting Youtube videos for some time to come.

Enjoy!!

EDC Orlando 2017Lineup for Kinetic Field, Circuit Grounds and Neon Garden

So EDC is getting closer and closer.  I have two confirmed interviews lined up and I'm still working on a few more.  I'll be photographing Friday night of EDC or the Orlando Sentinel so I should have a lot of pictures and video to share afterwards.

So, here's where I'll be in the coming months.  (these are just the events I know about at this time)

Sept 24th through Oct 1st, out of the country on another cruise.  I'll be taking a ton of photos and video so lots of good content from that one.

Thurs, Oct 12.  Martin Garrix at UCF Arena for the Orlando Weekly.  I'm not sure on video at that one; we'll have to see.  Video at concerts is usually a no-no.

Sat, Oct 14.  LONG day for me.  The Dragon Boat Festival at Turkey Lake in the morning and then the Come Out With Pride parade in the afternoon at Lake Eola.  Tons of photo and video from both of those.  Then..to top it off, BRUNO MARS at Amway that night.  Assuming I get approved for the credential request.  I'll be running around like crazy that day.

Fri, Oct 20.  Halloween Pub Crawl in Downtown Orlando.  Covering this one for the Orlando Sentinel.

Sat, Oct 21.  Tim McGraw and Faith at Amway for the Orlando Weekly.

Tue, Nov 14.  Enrique Iglesias & Pitbull at Amway.  This was originally scheduled for Sept during my cruise but they pushed it back a while so now I can cover it.  This *should* be for the Orlando Weekly but waiting for confirm from the music editor.

Sun, Nov 19.  Marc Anthony at Amway.  This one should also be for the Orlando Weekly but need confirm from the music editor.

Sat, Nov 25.  The Central Florida Auto Show at the Orange County convention center for the Orlando Sentinel.

Wide open Caribbean SeaAdventure of the Seas - Southern Caribbean Cruise - Memorial Day week 2016

And I still have to post the pictures from the Duomo in Florence.   Add in the regular work for the Orlando Weekly that'll start back up after the cruise and I just don't have enough hours in the week.  After this cruise, the next big trip isn't until the Spring of 2018 when we go to Germany so hopefully I'll be caught up by then....

Palazzo Vecchio - Picture - 8

I did a small photo shoot for a friend yesterday who's launching a new food truck in Orlando.  Angelo's Italian Kitchen On Wheels.

If you're in Orlando, be on the lookout for some real Italian in a food truck!

Inside the Blue Grotto without a flash - 1st pictureThe picture is slightly out of focus because the Nikon was having trouble focusing in the pitch black cave. It really is an amazing sight and Adobe Lightroom helped me bring out the natural blues in the water.

The videos are a collection of clips from two different cell phones and two different DSLR cameras.  The eleven videos are not in chronological order but I did indicate date and location inside each video.

Hope you enjoy them.  We'll be back in the Caribbean in May 2016 so I'll have plenty of video to post after that trip. 

Regards.
