Photography Friday

This week’s pictures are from my trip to Dallas for a conference. I chose to go to a conference that was a broad overview of the field of bioinformatics and as I, and the rest of the students who went, discovered what this really meant was two and a half days of talks most of which weren’t directly related to what we were doing.  That’s a lot of talks to sit through when they’re not topics relevant to you!  And while there are some legendary conferences where half the point is for professors to have fun traveling and get drunk after the conference, this was not one of those conferences. So these pictures are from what ended up being my favorite part of the trip – a visit to an art museum and a statuary garden with my roommate, who was wonderfully patient while I took forever taking pictures of ducks 🙂

Photography Friday – Seattle Edition

As promised, this week I have a picture of the Seattle skyline, taken from Kerry Park.  The other pictures are a selection of my favorite pictures taken doing touristy things after the conference was over.  Both of the nature pictures are taken while hiking in Discovery Park and the flowers are for sale at the Pike Place open-air market.  I hope everyone has a great weekend 🙂

Photography Friday

Actually photography Saturday this week, but that just doesn’t have the same ring to it 🙂  This week, I’m sharing some of my favorite pictures from my Europe trip after senior year last summer.  I have more pictures than I know what to do with so I’m hoping to start getting caught up on sorting and editing them soon!  The biggest category of pictures I’m having trouble with are the ones which aren’t awesome pictures but which have too much sentimental value to get rid of.  I’m pretty sure I’ll end up just keeping everything for now, but I might revisit that decision in a few years.  Do you take a lot of vacation pictures?  And if so, how do you deal with storing and sorting them?  Do you ever get rid of any?
