Enjoy the Show!

We thought we'd share a short 5 minute slide show of some of the places we've been the past couple of years.

We would love to have you with us, as we travel to these and many other great places around the country and the world.

If you are reading this as an email, just click on travel-ography.com to get to our site and then click play on the slide show.

If you are already on our website, just click play and Enjoy the Show !

Response to the news of us launching this new adventure continues to be unbelievable. We sure appreciate your excitement and support.

Memorial Day

Here's hoping everyone had a wonderful Memorial Day weekend.

It has always been thought of around this area as the unofficial start of summer. If so, we could be in for an interesting summer this year, as this weekend found us under cold, gray skies that wouldn't stop pouring rain for nearly 36 straight hours ( 3 to 6 inches reported) on Friday and Saturday. In complete contrast, Sunday was absolutely beautiful with clear blue skies, bright sunshine, calm and perfect 70 degree temperatures. While Monday (Memorial Day) was warm and humid, with temps in the 80's and all the flags hanging limp from lack of air movement. It was one of those days where, if one listened carefully, you could actually hear the flowers, trees, grass and gardens grow.

Suggestions keep coming in for upcoming travel-ography.com trips. We really appreciate the input as we prepare to research and then announce our first tours in this, our first season.

Again, thank you for your interest and your help....and once again, we hope everyone had a great Memorial Day weekend....and that we all take time to remember why this is such an important holiday.

'The Dream becomes Reality'

Finally !

travel-ography.com
is launched !


A quick history : For the past few years, while traveling the country, Linda and I have often thought - 'Wouldn't it be great if we could share these wonderful moments with family and friends.'

Then, about three years ago, I started visualizing a concept that I thought would be really 'cool'. Combine our love of travel with our passion for photography and take our business, Steve Larson Studio in that direction.

Could it get any better....doing what you love, sharing these good times with others, and making a living at it ?

One problem. These past three years, since the onset of digital photography, we have been so busy at the studio that we were unable to pursue this new adventure. But the dream persisted, and finally, encouraged by friends and family, we decided to limit the amount of studio photography we will do in the coming months and transfer some of our energy into steering our business in a new direction.

Travelography. I thought it was quite catchy. It was a word I made up to describe the two elements of our new business....travel and photography. But I really wanted a dash (-) ....(much more on the dash (-) in the next couple of posts). And, in keeping up with Internet technology, I wanted all letters to be lower case and the name to conclude with .com.

Thus, travel-ography.com is the name of our new venture and also the name of this website - blog.

We will be posting travel information, taking surveys to see where everyone wants to go, and sharing all kinds of photographs and info.

We encourage you to sign up (subscribe - it's free) at the upper left of this page and you'll receive info in your e-mail every time we update this site. It's a nice and easy way to keep track of what is going on.

And finally, we hope you'll feel free to share thoughts and ideas with us, either through our e-mail at stevelarsonstudio@yahoo.com or through the comments section in this blog.

Happy trails,

Steve

Dawn of travel-ography.com




Welcome to the dawn of travel-ography.com .....


Please take the time to subscribe to this site by entering your email address in the box to the left of the photograph and click on subscribe.

Thank you ! We will now be able to share our travel stories, photographs and upcoming travel opportunities with you through email and this blog.


travel-ography.com is the new direction Steve Larson Studio, our photography business, is taking and hopefully you'll join us.

This venture will allow us to share our love of travel and our passion for photography with others. Linda and I will research and organize the trips, put the information on this site and welcome you to come along with us.

At journey's end, you'll receive a stylish coffee table book, a beautiful photo album or an exciting video of the just completed trip. These keepsakes, filled with wonderful images, should allow you to share the 'good times' of our travels with family and friends, while also enabling you to relive the highlights of the trip.

Hopefully, these travel-ography.com adventures will bring together a group of people interested in sharing a wonderful experience and bringing home lasting memories. If such a modest goal can be accomplished, our new venture will certainly be a complete success.

Please stay 'tuned' and plan on joining us.

Steve and Linda
