Sedona Mountain Bike Festival, 2016
In March 2016 I had a quick trip to Sedona, Arizona, to take pics for Visit Sedona. One destination was the Sedona Mountain Bike Festival. You could ride all your favorite mountain bike brands in the trails around Posse Park. Really exciting. And a perfect winter's day there, warm and clear.

Venice: Scuola Grande San Giovanni Evangelista
In December 2015 I was lucky enough to get a private tour of the amazing Scuola Grande San Giovanni Evangelista in Venice, Italy. The scuola has been a part of Venice civic life for eight centuries and still serves as a wonderful event space for the community.
Venice: Caffè Lavena
Venice, Italy, has many great cafes. One of my favorites is Caffè Lavena, mere steps away from San Marco's basilica in that glorious piazza. It opened in 1750(!) and looks much like it did in the 19th century. The mirrors along the walls were especially beautiful to me. A plaque on the wall explains Richard Wagner used to drink here.
Venice, Day 1: Boat from the Airport
In December 2015, I traveled to Venice, Italy, one of my favorite places on earth. Here are some shots I took from the Marco Polo Airport to the city itself.
Venice in Film

Tre Oci Gallery, Venice
December 2015 was overflowing with shoots in Venice. One great stop I made was at the Tre Oci Gallery in the Giudecca district. It's a terrific exhibition space that really supports photography (and other visual arts), with shows featuring internationally renown artists alongside local up-and-comers. Really warmed my heart.
Acqua Alta, Venetian Bookstore
In December 2015, I visited the Acqua Alta Bookstore in Venice. As a great lover of books and bookstores, I simply could not pass up the opportunity when I was in town. In fact, I visited twice!
Marisa Convento's Venetian Dreams, Venice 2015
In December 2015, I traveled to Venice, Italy, for a few shoots and a lot of R&R. One glorious evening I spent at Venetian Dreams, a workshop where artist Marisa Convento makes jewelry from Murano glass pieces. Such craft, such beauty.
