Home Sweet Home! ~ San Diego

Dorothy Gale couldn't have been more right when she clicked her ruby slippers and said, "There's no place like home."

Our jet-set life was more fun and inspiring than I ever imagined. But also was more difficult than I conjured. Brian and I got to see places of ancient civilization, modern marvels, spectacular cities and secluded beaches, but there was a void in our hearts for our family and friends.

So as our life proceeds so does the need for compromises and balance. We've stowed our passports in return for quality time with our wonderful family and amazing friends.

Now let me get to what all of you are asking, "When do we get to see your pictures?"

Here's the scoop. Our pictures will be debuted here on VanHatten Photography's blog every Tuesday and if you subscribe to the blog you will be notified the minute the post goes live.

Today I am starting with Venice. It has character, charisma and fantastic art, and there is no place on earth like it. We hope to see your comments and feedback!
