We love traveling and taking pictures.
We want this photo blog to inspire you to create great photos and explore your world, near and far.
Using relatively simple cameras, we've gotten some awesome shots!

Washington Monument, Washington, DC, USA Here we captured a photo of the Washington Monument in Washington, DC which is surrounded by scaffolding designed by Architect Michael Graves so that it may be restored. This work was completed between 1998 and 2000.
Midway Aiport (MDW), Chicago, Illinois, USA This shot of Midway was taken just after take-off from nearby Chicago O'Hare International Airport (ORD). Behind the wing you can see a glimpse of downtown Chicago.
Sailboat, Jekyll Island, Georgia, USA We had a relaxing time in Jekyll Island during the winter of 2000 and we highly recommend going there. If things haven't changed too much, you can still do nothing but relax!
Autumn Leaf, Highlands, North Carolina On Tales from Topographic Oceans Jon Anderson and Steve Howe asked "Do the leaves of green stay greener through the autumn?". This beautiful leaf answers their question.
Falling Snow and Ice Warning, Montreal, Quebec, Canada Mondays at Topograpix are all about the mundane. Road and pedestrian hazard signs are fairly commonplace. While this one is pretty unusual (and scary) for us, we imagine this is normal in the parts of the world like Montreal which experience significant snowfall.
Conch Fritters, Nassau, Bahamas Sundays are often for kicking back and relaxing over a nice long brunch. Here at Topograpix we have Succulent Sunday.
These cute little morsels are from a place called Conch Fritters Bar and Grill in Nassau. Needless to say, we ordered conch fritters there.
The original picture was of the entire plate, but we decided to zoom in and show the golden brown color of the fritters.
When we zoomed in, we discovered a tiny piece of napkin on one of the fritters. Thanks to Google's Picasa, we were able to touch up the fritter and remove the napkin. The Picasa desktop tool is excellent at adjusting and touching up photos. We highly recommend it.
Terminal 2, Aéroport Paris-Charles de Gaulle, Roisy, France Fridays are about flying and aviation. What you see is orange, round, and squat, but not an Oompa Loompa. It is actually the gate area of Terminal 2E at Aéroport Paris-Charles de Gaulle (CDG).
Provincetown, Massachusetts, USA Tuesdays are for travel photos. In honor of the inauguration of our 44th president, here is a view of Provincetown, Massachusetts.
Why Provincetown, you ask? Before the Pilgrims reached Plymouth, they actually stopped for 5 weeks in what would become Provincetown, at the tip of Cape Cod, before sailing on to Plymouth. It was in Provincetown Harbor that the Pilgrims wrote and signed the Mayflower Compact, which established the first rule of law in what was to become the United States of America.
This view of Provincetown was taken from the top of the Pilgrim Monument.
Marc and Ned on the Walnut Street Bridge in Chattanooga, Tennessee, USA We love traveling and taking pictures. Using relatively simple cameras, we've gotten many awesome shots!
We want this site to inspire you, regardless of your skill level or equipment, to create great photos and explore your world, near and far.
