Clean. Timeless. Beautiful.

There is a difference in a photographer and someone with a nice camera. There is a difference in a snapshot and a thoughtful image. There is a difference between photographers. We invite you to see that difference with the CMP team!

Once Upon A Trip | Paris

Continuing my mini series, "Once Upon A Trip" I share with you a few images from Paris. In 2005 I did a six week study abroad in Ireland. Immediately after I traveled to Paris and got my first taste of Europe.

While in Ireland I had begun to learn how to use my camera on manual ("M") mode. I was shocked how much I was picking up. Throughout my time in Paris I continued to try and learn more about my camera and teach myself to see things in a new way.

The trip itself was amazing. Visiting the Louvre, Picasso Museum, Notre Dame and a handful of other places all in a few days was both eye opening and somewhat overwhelming.

I came home from that trip knowing three things-
That wouldn't be my last time in Europe.
I had a newfound passion for photography.
Crepes in Paris may be the most delicious desert on the planet!

Hope you enjoy a few of the images!
