Yes, I know. This Coca-cola sign in Arabic is almost a cliched photo taken by Americans, but you have to admit there’s something cool about such well-known brands being in different languages. Yes, there are two sides to this argument. One, global marketing takes away from the local economy. I agree. Two, [...] Continue reading Things that Make Me Happy – Coca Cola 
Well, I love hand-made products. Everyday items like brooms, baskets, mats, rugs, really everything is so much nicer when it’s handmade. I think we’ve lost so much of that in the U.S. It’s cheaper and more convenient to head to a super-store for all of our needs. Oh, I’m definitely guilty, too. I just [...] Continue reading Things that Make Me Happy – Handmade Brooms 
This is one of my favorite photos of all time. It may not be the best, technically…but it brings with it good feelings and a good memory. Really, that’s what photography is all about. Cows are synonymous with India. They are everywhere: in the streets, in the pastures, in the villages, even in [...] Continue reading Things That Make Me Happy! – Holy Cow! Happy New Year!

I would love to [...] Continue reading Things That Make Me Happy – Snow Monkey Spa 
Driving the Dingle peninsula, we witnessed many sheep crossing the road, climbing up on stone walls, taking in the view, and jumping over. I love it! What a metaphor. You go about your everyday life, stop to take in a good view every once in awhile, then move on. That’s the story of [...] Continue reading Things That Make Me Happy – A Good View! 
Why is it that I love old? I like rust, gray hair, wrinkles, delapidation…and all kinds of signs of the eroding of time. Not on me, of course; just in my photography. It makes it feel real. I tell you, I’m a sucker for the run down. What’s something you like to take [...] Continue reading Things That Make Me Happy – RUSTy Canada 
Donkeys are everywhere in Turkey. You just have to love them. They are usually friendly, and they’re all smart. This one was leading a small group to the well for their afternoon drink with no owner. I’m sure she has been doing it her whole life. The snow just made it a more [...] Continue reading Happiness is a Pregnant Donkey |
