Took this one with my iPhone on a whale watching excursion in Puerto Vallarta. It started out pretty far away, but we lucked out when it swam under our little zodiac three times.

This is painted on a wall of a gas station in the Village. I love the color, and the vague Samurai-like look of the character. I'm not sure what it means, but I love that someone took time to create it!

Piazza del Campo, Siena, Italy

The fishbowl effect of the panorama shot augments the real fishbowl of the piazza. Twice a year all the cafes surrounding it are converted into a horsetrack for 'Il Palio di Siena'. The bareback race is a local event, not a tourist attraction. People hang out of their windows or if they are feeling adventurous, standing behind the flimsy race baricade where riders and horses might topple onto them. The rest of the year its a relaxed area to take in the sun and people watch from the cafes.

I took the train in the wrong direction from 23rd street and got out at the last stop in Manhattan. I decided to walk up the East River and found this. There was another girl there too taking pictures and we hopped the fence together to get a closer look. NYC magic at its finest.

Kona, Hawaii this past May. So beautiful. This beach had surfers earlier in the day, but the waves were calmer at sunset. I was trying to capture the fabled "green flash," but never did see it. I was disappointed at the time, but this shot reminds me of the incredible beauty of Hawaii's Big Island.

Took a mini-road trip with my friends along the west coast. My first "real" vacation after attending Hunter College for 4 years.
This photo was taken at the Grand Canyon with my friends sitting on a cliff.
