Monterey Marina in Midnight Fog - As a fan of John Steinbeck and his novel Cannery Row, I thought this image fit the feeling he portrayed. The first paragraph of the book: "Cannery Row in Monterey in California is a poem, a stink, a grating noise, a quality of light, a tone, a habit, a nostalgia, a dream. Cannery Row is the gathered and scattered, tin and iron and rust and splintered wood, chipped pavement and weedy lots and junk heaps, sardine canneries of corrugated iron, honky tonks, restaurants and whore houses, and little crowded groceries, and laboratories and flophouses. Its inhabitant are, as the man once said, 'whores, pimps, gamblers and sons of bitches,' by which he meant Everybody. Had the man looked through another peephole he might have said, 'Saints and angels and martyrs and holymen' and he would have meant the same thing" I spent many nights in this type of drizzly fog during the two years I spent in Monterey, one of the more beautiful places I've lived - John Brody Photography

Moonrise Over Pont Neuf Paris France. When visiting The City of Lights, my days usually begin and end here, my favorite place in Paris. It's a swirl of activity with dozens of cultural greats surrounding it; including the Louvre, the Eiffel Tower and Notre Dame Cathedral, the Seine Riverfront walkways and the D'Orsay Museum to name a few. The list is endless. A wonderful place you must visit --- John Brody Photography - JohnBrody.com

Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles - High-Res HDR Image. I've been asked by a few people if this was shot in HDR on iPhone. As noted, it IS a high-resolution HDR Photo, but it was created from seven Canon CR2 RAW files shot in increments from -2 to +2 and then merged and toned in HDR software. If an iPhone ever comes out the could take a shot, I will buy it instantly. I should also mention that part of the images' color and feel are due to the fact that there were brush fires in the surrounding hillsides that day, and it was also shot at sunset. There were a lot of factors that came into play... JohnBrody.com / John Brody Photography
