Uzhgorod
Posted on January 11, 2010
After just getting comfy in Budapest I had decided to go and take a day+ trip to see a friend in Uzhgorod, a small city on the edge of the Carpathian mountians, straddling the Uzh river in the Transcarpathian region of Ukraine. As I learned, it’s a culturally rich and historically unique area that, despite it’s size, has a generous amount to offer.

I will have some more Budapest shots up soon so be sure to check back!

Happy New Year!
Posted on January 7, 2010
Sorry for the silence while abroad. Technical issues kept me from blogging while I was in Budapest, hopefully you were able to keep up with everything via facebook. Hope everyone had a wonderful New Year celebration and is getting 2010 started on the right foot.
Budapest - What can I say about Budapest? The city itself was amazing. Beautiful, clean, friendly, metropolitan but not so big that it was overbearing. Unfortunately, the weather there was less than conducive to my shooting desires. I got a day or two of good shooting in but the rest of the time it was foggy or there was some sort of precipitation falling.
Here are a few shots from our walk to the Chain Bridge from the Pest side… As you can see, no shortage of fog.
I will post up some more later today or in the morning. Hope this is enough to wet your whistle.
