Images from my trip to Italy, Switzerland and France.
Back in October of 2010, Joe had to attend a conference in Rome, so as usual I tagged along. Since one of my best friends lives in Geneva, we planned our trip to include a stop in Switzerland before returning to the states. It was really nice to see Geneva through the eyes of locals rather than as tourists. We even drove to France on a couple of occasions! Below are some of the pictures from this three part trip.

Aleppo Trip Part VI: The Village
The last of the series from Aleppo are my favorites!
On our way to the Olive Factory that my uncle works at, we did a bit of sightseeing by exploring the villages nearby. I love the city of Aleppo, but driving through the villages was a lot more fulfilling for me as a photographer.
This “officer” was not waiving at me, instead he was telling me to stop taking his picture. It’s a good thing I had family with me who could speak the language and diffuse the situation. I clearly ignored his request…not the safest thing to do but anything for a good picture!
In the villages you often see young kids working as sheepherders.
Some are shy and run away from the camera…
while others are all too happy to pose!
No your eyes are not lying to you and yes he’s on a cell phone.
These children were just let out of school. They love having their photos taken!
A typical home in the village.
