Here's another photo from my favorite little drinking area of Tokyo. I didn't take a photo inside any of these places… maybe I will next time. But even this angle shows you how quaint and intimate each little bar is, only seating less than 10 people. They all have tiny little doors too. I've bumped my head on them many times (even before drinking!). Golden Gai, Shinjuku, Japan
I was in Venice for about a month, out taking photos every morning at sunrise all the way through the sunset. Then there was always lots of heavy Italian food and bridge-wine on the way home with my friends. I'm not quite sure how I survived it or how I got up at every sunrise. I'm a trooper! But I guess we don't want to miss any sunrises like this, do we? I also made a video with this same scene in a meditative Alan Watts video that went viral and got over a million views. It's one of my favorite videos I have ever made and I hope you enjoy it too. I actually made two Alan Watts videos and you can enjoy them if you jump on YouTube and search for "Trey Ratcliff Alan Watts." Venice, Italy
While in the southern town of Lijiang, I came upon this creature in the evening. Maybe you know the legend of this... maybe it is better to make up your own legend than to have me tell you everything about it... or, perhaps one of you intrepid explorers in the community can tell us all what is going on here! This was one of those evenings when I decided to roam around with only my 50mm F/1.4 Leica lens. It's one of those challenges I give myself. I tend to lean more toward the wide-angle landscape or cityscape shots, even though I love this just as much. Sometimes by forcing constraints on myself, I enter a different mindset and am able to find and recognize completely different sorts of scenes. Lijiang, China
