"More than three weeks." It rolls off the tongue so easily. Friends stopped being shocked by how much you travel. People move. Life goes on. I get another stamp in my passport. Another airport. "Where are you going?" "Not even sure entirely." Having a preference for certain nations airport security over others. Fast food. Epic scenery. Waking up on a plane and not knowing which hemisphere of the earth you are on. Being home just long enough to do laundry before going on another international trip. Amazing food. Really bad food. New cultures. Interesting people.
If you don't know me well, I travel. A lot. In 2010 I was traveling for 2 months, 3 1/2 weeks. Personal travel. Many people do a great deal of business traveling, but so far most of my travel is personal. I've spent 26 days in Europe so far this year and in November I am going back for more than three weeks. This will be my sixth time to be in Europe in the past three years. I do domestic travel too. I've taken so many trips and seen so many places, but largely, my photos of these adventures are no where to be found. Sure I blogged about my trip to Egypt. I posted what, perhaps 20 photos out of thousands and thousands of images taken on that trip. I was sitting in a friends studio a few weeks talking about an upcoming trip and showing some photos from my most recent trip and he encouraged me to start blogging my travel photos. I am by no means a travel photographer, but then again, I do go all over the world. I sat looking through photos on my hard drive, tens and tens of thousands of images sitting there, alone, unloved. This week a blog will go live. Rather than flood this blog with travel images I am going to keep most travel related stuff posted somewhere else. This should be an exciting adventure, stay tuned for when it goes live...
