Photos from the Galapagos Islands
By now you may have seen my 60 Second Videos from the Galapagos Islands. As promised, here is a sample of photos from the trip. The rectangular photos were shot by me, and the beautiful ethereal square photos were shot by Ellen. I think several of her photos, which she shot with a $23 Holga camera, are far more beautiful than mine, which I shot with equipment that cost a hell of a lot more. You can see more of both our photos in slide-show form here.

Ooh! Very nice! Especially the waved albatross pair, looking a lot more dignified here than in that courtship dance.

Really enjoyed your posts on your Galapagos trip; that picture of the iguana is great! What inspired you to go there, btw?

Wow, lovely - great you can get so close to things. And yes, soon the whole world will have moved over to the tao of holga. Onwards, my (fuzzy) pretties!

i have to say, the galapagos are the absolutely most fabulous place on earth, don’t you agree?

Those are great pictures, but the rocks look so bleak. Life on the Galapagos must be pretty rough.
