I've been experimenting with making "tilt-shift" videos during my travels.  This is one of the picturesque Italian villa of Scilla across the Straight of Messina.

Chania, CRETE

Recent Photo Exposé of Chania, Crete

For the past couple months, I've been visiting Chania each Friday on the Navigator of the Seas.  I really love the vibe in the old city.  So much history on this Greek island!  The earliest civilization in all of Europe was established here on Crete.  There are many important geological digs around the island with many layers of old, new and everything in between marked by an occasional reminder of Turkish conquest...  I was delighted to find a lovely stretch of beach just past Koum Kapi on the West side of town.  I'd love to stay a few nights in this old city.  There are abundant small rooms for rent.

New Production Cast

New Cast on the Navigator

We have a new cast on the Navigator of the Seas.  I shot their debut of 'Ballroom Fever' last night from the front row.  Truly dazzling!  Here is an image of the new ballroom couple from Russia.
