I don't take a traditional approach to travel photography, or photography in general, for that matter. Take my first trip to Europe, for example. My aunt and I went to Spain, and while she was taking photos of Gaudi's apartment and La Sagrada familia, I was taking photos of skinny stray cats and framing statues portrait style. She got people to take photos of us in front of monuments, I took photos on the 12 sets (12!) having their wedding photos taken in one plaza at the same time. (Just to clarify, it wasn't a group wedding, just a popular location). Somewhere between that trip in 2001 and today I also started taking photos of sunsets, my feet, my food, roads, flowers, and myself (ala myspace pic).
It's just the way I roll.
And here are a few examples...
I pretty much take a photo of every lion statue I see in the UK. This one was in Edinburgh Castle.
Sometimes I am so busy taking photos of my sweets that I forget to take a photo of the Loch we are touring.
I also like to take photos while driving. Usually, I am not the driver.
Cobblestones at Stirling Castle.
A griffin...
... and a mermaid.
I still take pictures of other people's weddings. Wouldn't Stirling Castle be a beautiful place for a wedding?
Food and Feet at St. Andrews...
And some blur-tastic self portraits...
I love blurry photos.
What do you find yourself taking pictures of when you travel?
