A brief view of London & Paris

A few weeks ago my girlfriend and I went to the Horsham area of England to attend a friend's wedding. After the wedding I took the opportunity to photograph some of London as we were sight-seeing. The famous gloomy weather didn't rear its ugly head much. I even saw some blue skies here and there. ;)

We also decided to visit Paris while we were in Europe. I got to hang with my cousin who lives in Paris (briefly) and a couple of our friends from Houston joined us while we were there as well. Paris was a beautiful city with a multitude of historic sites and I certainly took more photographs there. Parc André Citroën, Château de Versailles, La Tour Eiffel....so much to see.

Here are a few photos I wanted to share:

Images from Seattle

The week after I returned from New York, James and I went to visit my friend Dan in Seattle.

We picked just the right time as it didn't rain a drop while I was there. Seattle is a truly beautiful place when the weather is so good. Here are a few photos I took while checking out the city. A good majority of these are from the UW campus (Dan's alma mater).


I went in to check out the very first Starbucks, but it was entirely too crowded...


I photographed a pretty cool event at the Hotel Granduca the day before I left for New York--I'll be posting about that tomorrow!

Images from Abuja, Nigeria

I'm only just now starting to get over the jet lag that comes with the difference in time zones between Houston and Nigeria (6 hours) so I haven't updated things as quickly as I would have liked.

As I mentioned earlier, I was there to photograph a wedding and while I was there I visited Abuja, the capitol city of Nigeria for the first time. Here are a few that I took while I was there.

Greetings from Nigeria

I'm writing this entry from a hotel in Lagos, Nigeria (where I will be photographing a wedding this weekend). I'm excited because it's my first wedding outside of the US and plus...I'm Nigerian!

I'll also get a chance to do some sight seeing and I'll be taking plenty of photos--and I'll definitely be adding some of those images here.

Once I get back into the country I have some images to share from other recent shoots. Have a great week everyone!
