A Day in the Floating City
July 19, 2017 • Photography & Travel
I hope to share with you, once or twice a month, one of my passions — photography. I believe it’s so important to make time in life for what you love and who you love. I love photography and always do my best to integrate it into my travels around the world. I’m currently in Italy working on my next online course, which will be called Unwavering Focus. In between writing and developing the course, I’ve made a couple of small trips here and there in this gorgeous country. Two weekends ago, I went to Venice for a couple of nights. It was my first visit to this gorgeous city. Though it is packed with tourists, me being one of them, I found some quiet places and moments to try and capture some aspects of this city. I hope you enjoy the photos. And always make time in your life for the people and things that are most important to you.

Painted Faces of Hindu Monks and Priests
Hindus wear markings on their forehead for many purposes. Some markings denote the sect they belong to, others tell if a woman is married or not, and some have deeper metaphysical reasons. Hindu priests and monks can often be seen wearing the most elaborate of facial markings. The markings are ma...
