I have a lot more from there to post soon. Only about 3 days into 18 or so of trip so far! Seems like you had a lot clearer skies but a lot lower temperatures! I froze enough in the US of A in December and was hoping for some warm northern summer this time around. On my Dresden stuff, naturally everyone will shoot different subjects as taste and circumstances allow. That's part of why its so enjoyable when folks share their travel shots here. Its a little extra pleasure when you can look at something and think, oh I know just where that is or and often, why didn't I try it that way! By the way I still shot a LOT of postcards. 2009/6/25 Nathan Wajsman <photo at frozenlight.eu> > I don't think these are omissions.
