I’m in San Fran again this week to help with our new store opening. The store looks so great! But I am more excited about the opportunity I had tonight to join a photo walk hosted by PhotoJoJo.

First, PJJ is an amazing online blog and camera store where you can buy gadgets, gizmos and just fun toys. They are based here and I’ve purchased a ton of stuff from them.

Second, in case you don’t know, a photo walk is where you meet up with some other photographers and take some shots. Of the group… Of what’s around you… Of what captures your eye. So fun to meet new people and see their creativity unleashed.

Here are some of my shots. Sorry for the Instagram photo bomb. 🙂

– Grab some goodies to sample from the PhotoJoJo bag:

An amazing adventure!!

Day 250

Posted on by dtsphoto365

Day Four in London… We woke up a bit earlier and made it off to the sights at a decent time. We first took a stroll down London Bridge and got a view of the Tower Bridge. Did you know that this London Bridge has only been around since the 1960’s? The older one was bought and is in Arizona! We then walked over to the Tower Bridge and took a tour, went up to the top and shot some photos of the city.

Afterwards, we walked over to the Tower of London… AMAZING. I think that it was so cool because of the history. We got a short tour from a Yeomen of the Guard (Beefeater). We then did the audio tour around Bloody Tour, the Crown Jewels (WOW!) and some other places. We ate lunch, finished postcards and went into the White Tower or the original London Tower Palace. It was very neat and had a great exhibit. All of the Kings were represented by their suits of armor very well displayed. It was really cool.

We found the site were Anne Boleyn and other nobles were beheaded and where some of Henry VIII’s wives were buried. We saw Traitor’s Gate where they were all brought in… and we saw some of the Queen’s guards doing their pomp and circumstance thing. We then rested in a Starbucks, caught up on email and headed back to the flat. Off to dinner…
