Earlier this week I was on a job in Rome assisting Munich-based photographer Markus Tedeskino. We arrived early and used Monday afternoon to explore the two-and-a-half-thousand-year-old city that shaped so much of our modern culture and society. Here are some of my favorite shots from that day.

It’s this time of the year again. Last Saturday, we had a pumpkin party. It was my first pumpkin party on German soil, and it was a blast. Tina and Beth made last-minute pumpkin pie (delicious), pumpkin soup (amazing/spicy) and pumpkin pizza (fabulous) and everyone brought a pumpkin and knives. After we were done carving the pumpkins, Beth roasted the pumpkin seeds and we had those, too. I feel like I haven’t used the word pumpkin quite enough yet. Pumpkin, pumpkin, pumpkin, pumpkin. It’s a miracle that we didn’t all turn into pumpkins, I guess. Anyway, we had a great time, and the same goes for our friends who were there. I have a feeling that this is going to become a regular thing…
Everyone is quietly working on their pumpkins on our front porch.

The result of the evening's work: Eight beautifully carved Jack O'Lanterns glow in the dark in our front yard.

We just went on a walk in the woods behind our house to pick some mushrooms. We didn’t find a whole lot (just enough for scrambled eggs with mushrooms), but the light out there was amazing. Here are a few shots:
