Reflections
There’s something about a reflection that always seems to capture the eye. Look at the picture above. Can you see how still the water is and how well it’s reflecting the frescoes and garden?

Moments of Joy
I have always had a soft spot for smiling faces and this photograph stands out to me simply because of the beautiful smile surrounded by expressionless faces. While everyone else was focused on a dance performance, something caused this woman to burst into such an amazing expression of which I am grateful to have captured. […]
