Switzerland Day 2: Snow

It snowed today. It was damn beautiful.

We rode a train to Bern, and the snow made for some great moments

These kids were practicing soccer in the morning, in the pouring snow. This is not a good picture, but they deserve some recognition for their commitment.

Though the food has yet to really impress me, the scenery in Switzerland, especially with the snow, it's really beautiful.

Again, too many wide shots...whatever.

Switzerland Day 1

I'm in Switzerland and these are pictures from my first day.

Two types of tourists.

I need to take less wide pictures and start getting closer to my subject. I'll consider this post the establishing shot.

Phone Phun

Inspired by Damon Winter's pictures of the war, which he took with his iPhone, I bought the same app and gave it a go. Cell phone pictures are interesting because people are much more natural around a phone pointing at them, and you always have your phone with you, so you get "those moments" that would otherwise would be lost.

I started with less journalistic and more portrait-oriented pictures.
