Wow, I’m a bad, bad blogger lately, huh? No good excuses. I could tell you that it was the holidays, then I went on vacation, came down with a bad cold, and have been busy at work…but really blogging takes 10 minutes of my day so those are pretty lame excuses. I’ll be better – I swear!
In all seriousness, this is a really busy time of year for me at “real work” so I’ve been behind on my photos.
Last weekend I visited my little buddy Adrianna. She’s 7 months old and so stinkin’ smiley! I really didn’t have time to go through all of her photos the other day but then I saw this one in my catalog and I couldn’t resist spending some time on it. I can’t wait to get to her other photos (and her mom probably can’t wait either!).
I love that smile!
In other news, my website is currently inacessible…to ME. I can’t upload anything to it right now so I’m relying on the blog until I get it fixed. I guess that means I’ll be blogging more often, right? Right.

…places! I recently pulled together a collection of my favorite location photos for a project. Luckily, most of my favorite place pictures were taken right here in Pensacola. Thank heavens I like my adopted hometown so much.

I’ve been fortunate enough to travel to some great places – usually with the intention of taking tons of sightseeing pictures. But my favorite shots are always the details and the people that make a location unique. For instance, this woman I met in a village in Macedonia. She was just baking bread in a traditional outdoor oven. Nothing unusual for her, but not something you’d come across in Florida. So it became my ideal Macedonia photo (and one of my all-time favorites).
Baking bread
And sometimes, my favorite shots of a trip are a little more grandiose than an old woman baking bread. This one, from a trip to Russia a few years ago, slipped by unnoticed in my Lightroom gallery until recently. I don’t know why I never picked it as a favorite on prior glances, but it’s grown on me.

I’m always searching for new “favorite places” so if you’ve got suggestions, post them to me…especially if they’re in driving distance of Pensacola! See more Favorite Places at www.mlchapman.com/places/gallery.html.
