Photo of the Day: Remembering the Haiti Earthquake

Many of you, like me, probably remember the media coverage of the earthquake in Haiti like it was yesterday. It was three years ago today. After visiting Haiti in November, I still cannot fathom the masses of people who were killed, or how resilient the survivors are. As you can see from the photo below, there is still a lot of recovery to be done.

Photo of the Day: Beware the Fog

Better late than never … I’ve been sick the last several days, so my photography/blogging has been sporadic. I lucked out with this photo. This dreary scene was taken from my balcony last night, just before complete darkness. For anyone interested, this was a 10 second exposure.

It may seem like fog can ruin your photos, but sometimes it creates the best atmosphere.
