An Evening in Memphis

Most of these are from Beale Street and the surrounding neighborhood.  Lots of folks were out to sample the music, food, and other amenities of "Blues City."

More Italy Photos

I'm continuing to go back through the photos from my trip to Italy in 2008, to see if there are some that I wrote off at the time as misses, but which may be rescued via Photoshop.  These are from Florence, and I worked them somewhat differently than the Venice images posted over the last week (mainly re-cropping and working on sharpness).  Whereas I was going for artistic effect on the Venice pictures, these are more in the realm of street photography.
