Malinda & Zach

This Memorial Day weekend, Jeremy and I took our annual boating trip with his family. Though the weather was pretty cold for the end of May, we had a lot of fun catching up with relatives and grilling out. My sister-in-law (and great friend!) Malinda brought her boyfriend, Zach, to meet the fam. He was a ton of fun, and I couldn't help snapping a pic or two of these lovebirds :)

























Doesn't she look absolutely gorgeous here?
































Of course I couldn't resist snapping a picture of these baby blues...

Study Abroad Pics II

Here's another bunch of study abroad pics. The first one is one of my all-time favorite shots - people touching the foot of the Statue of St. Peter in the Basilica in Rome. Centuries of pilgrims have traveled to see this bronze statue, and touching or kissing his foot is supposed to bring blessings. So many people have touched this statue over the years that the bronze is literally worn away on his left foot.

Dachau

These pictures are from a trip I took to the concentration camp in Dachau, Germany. I'm especially fascinated by the Holocaust - I think its important to remember this historic tragedy as a testament to the people who lost their lives. I tried to capture the eerieness and emptiness of the camp - though it was hard to see the suffering of so many people in the remains, I think it is such an important part of our history that it can never be forgotten.

Study Abroad Pics

Here are some of the pics I took while traveling and studying abroad (pretty much the best four months ever!). Some of them still need some spotting, so ignore the specks :) I have plenty more of these to post - over 35 rolls of film, in fact! I'll put more up as soon as I have the negatives scanned.
