“For this week’s challenge, we want you to become a documentary photographer and attempt to capture a candid moment of a person, place, or thing. Put your National Geographic hat on and tell a story by documenting a moment in time through a single image.”

Well, “candids” are my middle name, and I see a story or a special moment in each one of these shots. It’s up to the viewer to decide whether I’m right or wrong… 🙂

Travel Theme: Metal

I understand there are four categories of metal: Base metals, Ferrous metals, Noble metals, and Precious metals. And under these categories, there are 91 types of metal: 6 Alkali metals; 6 Alkaline earth metals; 38 Transition metals; 11 Post-transition metals; 15 Lanthanoids; and 15 Actinoids. I’m pretty sure that these photos represent one or more of these… 😉

I live very close to the ocean and love going to the beach and being around the water. But nothing compares to being surrounded by water everywhere, which is what one experiences in Venice, Italy’s beautiful “City of Water!”
