WELCOME

This blog is about the adventure of traveling and especially the interesting people that you meet. We will share stories about people and places we have encountered from around the United States, Ireland, Scotland, England, Italy, Austria, Switzerland, Germany, France, Canada, Spain, Mexico, The Vatican, The Netherlands, Belgium, Zambia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, South Africa, Liechtenstein, Portugal, Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovakia, and more. This is not a travelogue -- we leave that to Rick Steves -- this is a collection of fragments in the journey of life.

Candid versus staged photos

Candid photo of Mike people watching in St.Peter's Square, Vatican
Staged photo of Maddie eating escargot in Rouen, France 

If you are like me, you have taken a whole bunch of pictures of people standing somewhere with a famous landmark or pretty scene behind them. Everyone in those photos looks a little stiff. It is much more fun to catch someone in a candid moment enjoying a view or doing something interesting. Then, there is a third photo which is staged. These are like someone holding back the Leaning Tower or picking up the Empire State Building. Sometimes you can just ask someone to reenact their reaction to a new taste treat. Maddie, by the way, did not dislike escargot that much.
