This past summer I went to Valencia, Spain and stayed with my girlfriend while she did research. While over there we also took a trip to Rome. My camera charger broke due to the voltage difference and I didn’t notice until I went to charge my battery on our first night in Rome. I took as many pictures as I could before all the juice was absolutely drained. I looked all over for stores that would sell the charger that I needed but I found that Canon 1D chargers are apparently very hard to find. When I finally looked online I found that the price of a new one was around $400! I kept putting off getting an extra battery because they were $100+, but I wished I had bought one now.

When in Rome we saw every famous sightseeing location. I took a lot of photos of the buildings and architecture, which is very interesting and very unlike anything you get to see around here in Orange County.

Check out the photos below.

I spent the last two days walking around and exploring in Valencia. Its a very colorful city with lots of art and architecture, both new and old. Its also really hot here. At night, all the windows are open in the apartment where I’m staying, and I still manage to sweat while I sleep.

The internet here is very spotty, seeing as that I am stealing it from a nearby apartment, which will explain the lack of posts. I am also leaving for Rome today and will not have my computer with me for the next 4 days until I come back to Valencia.

According to my returning flight, I am supposed to be here in Europe for two weeks, although hopefully I’ll find a reason to justify staying longer.

I have never really had an interest in shooting architecture, or citys, or pretty much anything else other than sports or portraits. I’m going out of my comfort zone on this trip and am trying to develop an eye/appreciation for some new aspects of photography. I brought my 1D Mark IIn, 17-40mm, and 50mm 1.8. We’ll see what happens.

Check my twitter for *hopefully* regular updates.
