I’m really pleased to announce that I’ve opened up a shop on Etsy where I will be selling my original paintings, prints and photographs.

I have a couple of new screenprint editions currently available that might be of interest to AYIE listeners.

One depicts a night scene of the fountain in Piazza della Rotonda, which is right in front of the Pantheon in Rome.

To check out what I currently have available, visit scottandress.etsy.com. I’ll continue to add new pieces to the shop as they become available.

We talk a bit about what we took away from our trip on our final podcast. But there is something else I took away from our journey that I didn’t mention – inspiration. Most are aware of my enthusiasm for photography, but during the past year I’ve been exploring other ways to reflect on our European adventures. Over the past few months, I’ve been doing some painting, much of it inspired by some of our favorite places. More recently, I’ve been learning about screen printing, too, which is a creative process I really enjoy. If you’d like to see more, check out my new Studio site featuring a gallery of my paintings, prints and some of my favorite photographs.

Scott and Sheryl are back in the USA. Catch up with them and hear where they ended up, their favorite moments from their journey and what they learned along the way.

Check out all the photos from the the trip.

If you enjoy our podcasts, why not give us a review on iTunes? A special thanks to everyone who already has.

Catch up with Scott and Sheryl on July 4 for their final podcast episode!

I’ve recently started to go back through the many photographs taken over the course of the year. I’m not kidding when I say that there are thousands of them! The majority of them adequately serve a purpose for us, as personal reminders of our travels. But some, I think, are composed and imaged well enough to print for display. I’ve been picking out and editing a few of my favorites from our original files. This week, I made several of these photographs available for purchase through Imagekind.com. It is a new-to-me service, but I’ve heard good things about it and thought I’d give it a try. There are lots of paper and framing options available. I’ll be offering more photos there over the next couple of weeks. And if there are other photos you’d like to see available for printing (some you may have seen through flickr), let me know.

Another reason that I’ve started to go back through our original photo files? Maybe there’s a “Photographs from A Year in Europe” book in the works? We’ll see…

Happy New Year, everyone! We’re both doing well and beginning to feel somewhat settled again. We are planning a “Where are we now” podcast, probably for release in the next couple of months. Stay tuned and all the best for 2008!
