Set Description: In 2009, my family took a trip to Italy to see the sights and visit with family. I took it upon myself to be the family "photographer". With no real understanding of what I was doing, something clicked (literally and figuratively). Though I didn't know exactly what Aperture, ISO, and shutter speed meant, I could figure out how to achieve the look I was going for by manipulating these setting. By the time the trip was over, I had mastered the application of the manual controls of my little SONY DSC-10 point & shoot and had fallen in love with photography.
Fast-forward to 2012. I was looking back at some of these photos and though to myself, "you know, it might be fun to edit these a bit in Lightroom". So that's what I did.
I hope you enjoy!

This classical Japanese garden is in the Honolulu Airport! You can wait for your plane in a 60° air-conditioned terminal, or hang out at a pagoda in the sun.
Built in 1904, this Classical Revival-style building was designed by Cass Gilbert as the Palace of Fine Arts for the 1904 Louisiana Purchase Exposition, a World’s Fair. The building features a marble and buff roman brick exterior, with arched window bays, a front portico with corinthian columns, porticoes at the end bays of the front facade with ionic columns and pediments, a cornice with modillions and dentils, a central gabled roof with arched clerestory windows, decorative stone and gold sculptures, and doric pilasters. The building was extended with a southern addition in the late 20th Century, which features ribbon windows, a terraced massing, sloped glass skylights, and decorative patterned brickwork. The building was further expanded between 2009 and 2013 to the east with a new addition, designed by Sir David Chipperfield and HOK, which features a gridded concrete roof structure with multiple skylight apertures, glass curtain walls, precast polished concrete panels, reveals at the base, and large terraces, with the addition being designed so as to blend into the surrounding landscape and defer to the historic adjacent museum building. Today, the museum building is one of several remnants of the 1904 World’s Fair, and is one of many cultural amenities within Forest Park in St. Louis.
Originally built in 514 BCE, Suzhou has over 2,500 years of rich history, and relics of the past are abundant to this day. The city's canals, stone bridges, pagodas, and meticulously designed gardens have contributed to its status as one of the top tourist attractions in China. Since the Song Dynasty (960-1279), it has also been an important centre for China's silk industry.
The classical gardens in Suzhou were added to the list of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites in 1997 and 2000. Suzhou is often dubbed the "Venice of the East" or "Venice of China".
Yann Tiersen

Yann Tiersen (born 23 June 1970) is a Breton musician. His musical career is split between studio albums, collaborations and film soundtracks. His music involves a large variety of instruments; primarily the guitar, synthesizer or violin together with instruments like the melodica, xylophone, toy piano, harpsichord, accordion and typewriter.
Tiersen is often mistaken for a composer of soundtracks, himself saying "I'm not a composer and I really don't have a classical background", but his real focus is on touring and studio albums which just happen to often be suitable for film. His most famous soundtrack for the film Amélie was primarily made up of tracks taken from his first four studio albums.
