My new blog, my first photo

This is an interior hallway in at GUM (Main Universal Store) just off Red Square in Moscow, Russia. I took this on vacation in June of this year. Moscow is an amazing (and amazingly HUGE) city that I've always wanted to visit...now, I get to check it off my list.

Part of the reason I took this was because I liked the interesting contrast of light and shadow, and the straight lines. I was very happy with the way it came out.

I submitted this picture to a travel photo contest sponsored by United Airlines. Since it's my first contest I'm sure there's a ton of things I could have improved that I didn't even think of, but I'll learn as I go.

Another picture tomorrow...
