Date taken: February 2007

Title: Queen Mary & Skorpion at sunset
Photographer: Phillip Massaad
Date taken: July 2010
Location: Long Beach, California
Behind the scenes: I took this photo while staying aboard the Queen Mary and thought it would be a great opportunity to photograph two maritime icons in the twilight of their careers. I especially like this shot because it evokes the romance of the sea, be it through the child-like desire to play war games on the submarine or to enjoy the timeless elegance of an era long gone aboard a traditional ocean liner.
Camera used: Olympus E-30

Date taken: October 2007

Title: Lovers Walk
Photographer: Melissa Lane
Date taken: July 2009
Location: Manarola (Cinque Terre), Italy
Behind the scenes: Quite possibly the most picture-perfect destination I have ever been to — Via dell'Amore (or "Lovers Walk") was breathtaking! Gelato (lemon, of course!) in one hand and camera in the other — this photo captured the energy and emotion that beamed from every single person who walked along the pathway.
Camera used: Canon IXUS 80

Title: Itsukushima Shrine
Photographer: Chuong Vu
Date taken: May 2008
Location: Miyajima Town, Hiroshima, Japan
Behind the scenes: Once the tide started rolling in we went and sat along the shore to watch the sunset. The afternoon sky was all orange/yellow and we could see the sun setting behind those mountains in the distance. I like how this photo gives me a peaceful feeling each time I look at it and reminds me of a landscape painting.
Camera used: Canon EOS 40D with a 17-40mm L lens

Date taken: 15 April 2011
