Exploring Bavaria and Tirol, Alpine Landscape at dusk.

We arrived late today into Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany. We checked into our hotel, which closely resembles a 1970's ski chalet and is owned by the craziest lady in Bavaria – there's a shrine to Elvis in the stairwell and a clown hanging from a swing over our bed. Our first order of business was driving into the Alpine playground to watch fog settle in around crags and cows. It was a peaceful evening; the only noise was jangling cow bells.

Austin is Awesome

Last night I had the pleasure to meet, hang out and share with all the great photographers at the Austin PUG. They also got a demo of ShootQ V2. After the meeting, Suzi Q, her husband and Jefferson Todd took me to what has got to be the coolest bar in town, the http://www.themeaneyedcat.com. Why is it the coolest bar? Because the whole place is a tribute to Johnny Cash!


I'm in Dallas right now, getting ready to visit the Dallas PUG. Hope to see some of y'all there!

ShootQ Sponsors the ONE Workshop

When we heard that Jeff and Julia Woods were hosting a workshop geared toward couples who work together, we knew it would be a fantastic opportunity! ShootQ is proudly sponsoring the ONE Workshop.

Jeff and Julia welcome couples to the workshop, which takes place in their beautiful historic studio in Washington, Illinois.

Our friend Zack Arias opened the workshop with his compelling personal story.

Jeff and Julia know how to host and they value every detail! These candy stations were designed to give couples a chance to make candy boxes for each other. Ron Dawson, left, and his wife, Tazra, get started!

The decor in Jeff and Julia's studio is beautiful and modern!

Wanderlust

Wanderlust, as Wikipedia puts it, is a "loanword" from German to English that designates a strong desire for or impulse to wander, or, in modern usage, to travel and to explore the world.

This is a trait I share with my sister, Sudie (it rhymes with "Judy"), who just left for a year abroad in Kerala, India. Sudie will be a volunteer with the Young Adult Volunteer program of the Presbyterian (U.S.A.) Church.

She's no stranger to foriegn travel; she has already done three exchange programs in the Czech Republic and Ireland. She boasts a portfolio of visited countries that are too long for me to list here.
