Angelina in ParisThis is some of the decadent hot chocolate from Angelina in Paris. Thanks for the people on the blog here that turned us onto this place! I’ve ended up there many times, and I always order too much… enough to get a little bit queasy, but the good-kind of chocolate-queasy.If you go, be sure to stop there and get one… it’s also a full restaurant/cafe. I got the croque-madame, which is like the monsieur, except there is an egg on top.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the entire post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
An Amazing Day at the Met On Sunday, I set aside about six hours to spend alone at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Most of you may know by now how I am obsessed with the Impressionists. Don't ever go to a museum with me, because I will bore you for hours on end with strange tidbits. Anyway, the Met has a fantastic collection that kept me busy most of the time... It's rather nice of them to hang on to my paintings for me. One day, when I get some time, I'm going to make a little page here and show some of my favorites.The Man would not let me take a tripod inside, so that was unfortunate. I did manage to do a few hand-held HDRs however... here is one that I have processed thus far.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
The ROT Biker Rally Every year we get thousands of bikers that descend on Austin for a few days during the big ROT Biker Rally. They cruise up and down 6th Street and close fill the streets with incredible bikes and works of art. It's an amazing place for photography, so I was able to take a break this evening and go down and shoot for a few hours.I remember when I was growing up that bikers where just about the scariest people on earth. But now, everyone I have met seems to be much nicer and more affable than the average joe. They love having pictures taken of their bikes and generally seem to love life. That's cool.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
The Place in Texas Where They Found the 17 Bodies Now this is a proper Texas ghost town! It was always one of those things that fascinated me as a child. Pretty much anything with the name "ghost" in it was cool back then, including my "Choose Your Own Adventure" books. I remember there was one called "Deadwood" or something like that, which always had a creepy ghost town feel to it.Anyway, this is a strange abandoned town outside of Brenham, Texas (Home of Blue Bell Ice Cream!). And no, 17 Bodies were not found here... just being a bit dramatic. Or maybe there WERE 17 bodies here but the authorities are just covering it up. It's all true. I heard Alex Jones say it.Last, I have updated my Nikon 14-24 Review and my Nikon 24-70 Review with new photos and the like. I know that only about half of our audience is photographers, but some people are looking to get into it more seriously, so maybe those will be helpful to you!- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
The Artist Takes a Break In Buenos Aires, there is a very artsy area called La Boca. It's filled with tiny little studios, restaurants, tango in the streets, and all kinds of life. The colors are bright and vibrant, so, of course, I went crazy with my camera there. While exploring, I found this cool artist's studio on the second floor of an interior section. I had on my 24-70mm, and I was admiring her studio at f2.4. Then, by luck, she came to the window to peer out. I grabbed a quick one.This was edited with Nik Software, so I took this opportunity to write a Nik Review for y'all! It's very cool software, and I have put a bunch of new images inside of there... Many of them are "in progress", and might not show up in their final form on the blog for a few weeks.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
The Fed Ex Forum Awaiting the New Season I was lucky enough to get a tour of the Memphis Grizzlies home stadium when there was hardly anyone around. The Fed-Ex Forum is an amazing facility. I think it looks like a great place to go watch games. The surrounding downtown area is also very cool... seems like it would be a great way to spend a night out. I've never been in Memphis on game night, but I'll be sure to make that happen some time!Also I got to go back in the locker room and meet some of the players. The guys were so nice and affable... I couldn't get over it. I don't know what I expected, but they were just all really young nice dudes. And then I saw this little underwater rehab/training facility. It was really wide and had this conveyor belt that ran under water. I asked why it was so wide and was told it was originally used for horse rehab! Crazy...hehe...Memphis finally got a good pick in the draft... #2! That's great for those guys... go Grizzlies! - Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
