Brixen, Italy - Travel

Our last day in Italy. We decided not to ski today and instead spend it in a beautiful little Brixen. It was snowing all night and by the time we got to downtown this fresh snow started melting down from the trees, I knew that I only had a few hours before it happens. Here are a few lucky shots of this beautiful small town.

South Tyrol, Italy - Travel

South Tyrol ( Südtirol) is a beautiful German speaking province in northern Italy. Driving all night from Trier, we reached our hotel Kronblick by nine in the morning, passing it without stopping. Our destination that morning was Cortina d'Ampezzo, where Women's World Cup Downhill had to start at about ten. It was a dream came true - I was about to ski Alps first time in my life and, more then that, to see a major sporting event in alpine skiing!

Amsterdam, Holland - Travel

There was a few hours overlap in Amsterdam; it was drizzly, windy and gloomy, typical weather for Amsterdam in January. I didn't even want to take my camera out of the bag... then I saw this boat and the angle it was getting under this bridge, so I had to take the shot.

Mysore, Bangalore, India - Travel

This was my second trip to India in two years. And almost as in my first trip I was shocked with the level of pollution in Bangalore, endless chaotic traffic and non-stop honking. And yet, I hope my pictures captured something more than that, even on busy Bangalore streets full of cars and people, I tried to find peace and balance.

Old Dubai - Travel

I believe it was my fourth visit to EUA. There are so many places in Dubai that I enjoy and love to visit again and again, so every time I was leaving my friends' house, I thought whether to take my camera bag with me or simply have fun and enjoy the city. Here are just a few pictures I took in Dubai, some with my iPhone, some with my Canon.

Lake Tahoe - Travel

Just got back from a short trip to Lake Tahoe. What a beautiful place! There is a reason why Lake Tahoe is so photogenic and one of the most photographed places and I am positive my photos are not among the best. There is no way I consider myself a landscape photographer and yet, here it is, how I feel when I am there...

The Emerald Bay, one of the most scenic areas in Lake Tahoe, some say this is the prettiest place in the whole state.

Vikingsholm is a nordic mansion built on the lake almost 100 years ago, now managed by the state park system. Inside the mansion is fully furnished with mostly original furniture and other historic artifacts. Unfortunately by the time we got there inside tour was already closed.

Pras & Diem, Vietnamese Ceremony - Antioch, CA

It was a great, busy and fun week! At least we had gorgeous summer weather on Fourth of July going through the rest of the week. Vietnamese Ceremony started early Tuesday morning in Antioch, at Diem's parents' house. The Sarkars arrived on time with lots of presents for Diem and Le family. After the ceremony we went to Danville for a small luncheon at Blackhawk Plaza.

Karan and Rajan - Stanford Univercity, CA

Karan and Rajan are getting married! But first things first - engagement ceremony. Last week we spend a few hours in Stanford, Palo Alto, taking some conservative and romantic shots... The place was totaly crowded on Sunday afternoon and yet I am glad we managed to make an illusion that Karan and Rajan were the only two people there.
