  • Visiting Italy

    I’ve just gotten back from two weeks in Italy, about 50% of that time on business for a client-side conference. I logged as much as I could on the road at http://hipgeo.com/sangsara, which turned out to be a pretty nifty service now that they’ve enabled offline posting in their iOS app. You take photos or write short posts, and those are geotagged and uploaded to your stream when you have a connection. At the end of it all, you can create a “trip post”, which summarizes your movements on a map. Here’s my Italian trip summed up in too much detail.

    A trio of us Sapient guys landed in Milan’s Malpensa Airport, stayed a night, then rented a car and drove down to the sleepy beachside town of Ravenna, then went back up to Milan where we spent the rest of the trip, save for a day in Florence. Here are some photo highlights (I decided to travel light with just my iPhone), the rest are on my Flickr.

  • Australia, Days 5-8 on the Road

  • Australia, Day 4 in Photos

    Took a ferry out past the Sydney Opera House on a ferry to Manly Beach, where we ate great steak and ribs, followed by really good Hakata-style ramen in the evening at a place called Ryo-Tei near St Leonards, staffed by a trip of Japanese Australian girls and some dudes in the kitchen.

  • Australia, Day 3 in Photos

    Pies, Chinese Garden of Friendship, Darling Walk, Mexican food, and back to the pub.

    Having connection trouble with Posterous, so trying to upload these again at smaller image sizes.

  • Australia, Day 2 in Photos

    A weekend market in Paddington, a museum exhibit about Sydney’s convict history, and St. Patrick’s Day celebrations.

  • Going to Tokyo Again, Figuring Out a Camera Configuration

    After all that, seeing a single color photo just fires some pleasure center in the brain, so I don’t know… maybe I’ll change my mind again.

    But if anything, going black & white will free me from the temptation to do this to every photo.

  • Photos from Japan

    Late last year, I wrote about returning from my trip to Japan and sorting through the 2000 photos I’d taken. I finished the job of uploading them to Flickr quite a few weeks back, but neglected to post the links here.

    This is the entire set on Flickr, but you will see less as an anonymous member of the public, and a few more if you’re listed as one of my friends.

    This is a ‘Best of’ set that I put together, with 150 photos in all (again, depending on your friendship status), which is much easier to get through.

    This is a 94-photo subset of the main album focused on Tsukiji, the largest fish market in the world.
