  A perfect example of why I love travelling so much can be seen in the photos in this blog post.While I never tend to do this kind of thing when I’m at home, I try to absorb as much as possible when I’m on the road. I’ll visit any unique location, taste most any kind…  It’s Not How it Looks. It’s How it Works. I knew that developing the design elements of my branding strategy would require time, patience and a lot of expert advice. As a photographer, I often feel like I have a very good idea about art and design. Sometimes I’m right, and sometimes I really… ➤ show 7 comments  My head reels with the thought of how much work you put into getting your “Marketing Adventure” into place. Very impressive results. You deserve great success. In regard to your sharing sooo much information with us—-”He who wishes to secure the good of others has already secured his own.” Confucius.  Give your designer a bonus! These look amazing! Thanks for the info. I also noticed you added a pin it button to your posts. Very smart, I need to get on that for my blog too.  Loving the business cards! This is such a well thought-out package. Very impressed. I hope it lands you some great new work Ken!  Wow, wow, wow! I have absolutely no doubt that with such beautiful marketing tactics, your campaing will definitely be a hit. Wonderful work and amazing material Congrats!  love the business card idea. your mum is a star!  Wow. I bow down to you, seriously. I know this is a ton of work, but it looks amazing and really compliments your photography.  Just Awesome!!! very good work Ken!!  A Grand Entrance As I meandered along the Käerntner Ring on my first summer morning in Vienna, I stopped in front of several ornately decorated buildings to absorb the flavour of the city’s architecture. Each building had it’s own character, but all of these lavish buildings put together, one after another is what makes… ➤ show 17 comments  Wow, stunning as always! Seeing palaces like these remind me that architecture in Europe is truly unique and not exploited enough. Many people only take a picture without taking the time to inquire as to what era it is, or what the history is. And don’t get me started on places that don’t allow photographs… I always find it a bit zealous to be honest, and I’m not sure I understand the reasons for such restrictions, really.  Wow, impressive hotel and impressive images (as ever). I truly feel like I am standing there the details are so vivid. You really nailed the perspective adjustments in post and it really sets these photos apart from other interior architecture photographers who don’t correct well. I really liked the detail shot of the Imperial Torte. It broke up the post well and was refreshing.  Wow stunning as usual Ken.  Oh my gosh! Never seen anything like it – and that cake…jealous much! Imagine being able to sell the palace, and then it gets turned into a Hotel! Gorgeous is not enough…stunning!  Ken, I’m impressed how you always post half dozen or more high quality photos in your posts! Not like the rest!  Great images (as I would anticipate) of a wonderful building that has so far escaped my attention when I have been in Vienna. Must try coffee and a piece of Imperial Torte if ever I get the chance.  Stunning images Ken… gorgeous. You have incredible framing and perspective skills and use them well. Heading out to Israel for ten days tomorrow! I hope to take some Ken-esque images  Fabulous! You are making me homesick! Cheers, Claudia  So much beauty, its difficult to see it all together Ken! Your images always manage to stun me with their beauty..they are like a dreamworld…  Hello Sir…All your Photographs are Amazing…I saw them at a Glance..For a Second Felt like seeing Pictures of the Conceptual World…Amazing Shots..Composition, Exposure, Emotions in it, Life in it….A PERFECT PHOTOMONTAGE.. Love You Sir… Hello Sir…All your Photographs are Amazing…I saw them at a Glance..For a Second Felt like seeing Pictures of the Conceptual World…Amazing Shots..Composition, Exposure, Emotions in it, Life in it….A PERFECT PHOTOMONTAGE..Love You Sir…  Marie-Eve, I absolutely agree! Those places that don’t allow me to take photos are missing out on an opportunity. Not sure what they are protecting, especially in the places where they allow zillions of point and shoot photos but not good ones. Sigh! Lisa, I just staed going to the gym again… No more cake mentions, please!!  Amazing! Amazing!! Amazing images!!! Amazing photography!!!! Very inspiring for other photographers!  Ken, If you want you can make me your Assistant, as i wanna make my career in Photography, infact i am an amateur photographer & will soon complete my Graduation in April ,2012.. So, what say??  Ken, This is my mail id- ••••••@gmail.com …if you want i’ll be really Intrested n i can show you my works too  Amazing photographs  History, Art, and Architecture Poble Espanyol (Spanish: Pueblo español, “Spanish Town”) was one of those unexpected treasures that I discovered while doing my pre-trip research on Barcelona. I was intrigued to read about the diversity of art and architecture in this special part of the city and I was lucky to be there on a… ➤ show 16 comments  Excellent work Ken!  Thanks. I’ve been to Barcelona a couple of times and knew nothing about this place. The second image is my favorite.  Excellent job reviewing Spain. I have traveled to Ibiza a couple times but one day plan to go to Barcelona. Great pictures as well  Wow! What gorgeous pictures!  Hello there Ken, a friend of mine is really into photography and told me about your blog. She knows that I love traveling, and I have enjoyed looking at all your incredible photos with my friends. I am teaching in Menorca right now, and seeing as you are in Barcelona right now, if you have time to island hop, Menorca is a beautiful and photogenic place. Keep up the great work! It would be an honor to see photos of the Balearic islands! Just a suggestion if you have time  Thank you so much for posting this, Ken! I’ve got one day in Barcelona in May, and have been wondering if I should go here (I didn’t have time on my last trip). From an architectural/photography POV, it looks awesome, but I was discouraged by how many visitors online reviewed it as nothing but a touristy shopping area. I think you’ve just proven that I can get what I want out of it.  Now go to southern Spain. i want to see your pics of places like the Alhambra already  Love the narrow street shots. I need to get myself to Spain for a bit of shooting.  Amazing shots, congrats for the post Ken !!!  This is great work, love the European cities with their history and culture.  As I see in pictures Poble Espanyol is too beautiful. I love all these pictures. Thanks. Thanks everyone for the nice comments. I’m in Toronto this week and have not had a lot of computer time, sorry for the delay in replying! Tracey, now you have an excellent reason to go back to beautiful Barcelona!  I find it amazing that a city was constructed with the intent to tear it down- it’s lovely! Thanks for sharing. I read many blogs in Google Reader, but I always know with yours I must go to your page to see the wonderful images.  It’s not hard to pick out the architecture from my region – the pueblos blancos and Moorish touches have me totally enraptured with Southern Spain!  I’ve been to Poble Espanol. The most wonderful fake town i have seen. I had a strange moment when I entered the so called church and see only a shop of souvenirs.  A true Southern Gem I often think of one of this great old song by Patsy Cline when I am still out taking photos after midnight in another new city that I can’t seem to get enough of. I go out walkin’ After midnight Out in the moonlight Just like we used to do I’m… ➤ show 25 comments  Love these photos, especially the first (mansion pic), not to mention the song. I get Patsy stuck in my head various hours of the day but that one definitely…after midnight…and on a quiet, empty street.  These are incredible shots Ken! My favourite is of the Candy Store. Wow, amazing! I especially like the Candy Store one, so lively and yet nobody in the picture. I didn’t know anything about Savannah before and now I definitely want to visit! Nice work Ken  I love that song. It really suits Savanna. I’ve only seen the place via magazines (and your artwork) but it looks amazing. Another city added to my wish list!  I really enjoyed what you had to say about Savannah since I am fortunate enough to live here. However, I love your tips for enjoying a city and especially the lovely results of your “after midnight” walk through my city.  Gorgeous shots- though could have done without the color filters. Savannah doesn’t need it!  Beautiful photos of my favorite city….  Savannah is my favorite city and these photos make me want to go back now. Well done as usual. I almost transferred to SCAD as a sophomore in college on 3/4 scholarship. Ended up staying put because almost none of my credits would transfer and the students I talked to said that although the facilities and staff were top-notch, it was hard to get as much time with both as they wanted.  A former co-worker of mine went to SCAD – he said that Savannah was famous for being the most haunted city in the US, and many of the buildings at SCAD were indeed haunted. I think you captured that eeriness for sure, Ken! Oh and walking around after midnight is one of the best things to do while travelling. London at 3am really is an entirely different experience! Gorgeous shots Ken. Savannah does look like a great place.  Beautiful set of images Ken! I was there recently, but now I wish I had seen it after dark.  Absolutely gorgeous. I’m going to Savannah in a month–this makes me extra stoked, plus is a virtual reminder to take my tripod  Born and raised in South Carolina but I’ve never been to Savannah! Have read and seen so much about it but (like all your stuff) really love your photos of the area. STEPHIEBUTTONS, It’s a great song isn’t it?  Wow, the HDR process makes these photos look amazing! I love HDR images.. Thank you for sharing, Ken!  Great shots. I had the chance to visit Savannah years ago and found it quite charming. Lots of amazing architecture to see there.  Wonderful images, so full of color. The sweet shop is my favourite.  These are fantastic! I’m so jealous. Savannah is my favorite city in the whole world. Great shots!  Absolutely love your work; I recently shot Savannah and many of the same places, such a beautiful city and perfect for HDR-DRI photography and of course, the ambience of the old city and fabulous restaurants. Your attention to detail, color and composition is eye-salve for the photographer.  GORGEOUS. This city never fails to capture my heart. I’m thoroughly in love with Savannah. With all its sights and beautiful people. Incredible photos.  Wow, these are some of the best night shots I’ve ever seen. What camera settings did you use?  Absolutely gorgeous. The city of romance…  Superb!!! I love them all!! After dark is my very favorite time to shoot. Such a lonesome feeling comes out at night that transforms the buildings and the streets. It’s like at night you can really see what exists.  Editing Thousands of Images Was Hard Enough … On To My New Website Just Do It For me, one of the very best things about the Campaign Manager Pro program from Agency Access is the simple fact that my CM Pro consultant Jennifer Kilberg lit a fire under me to get things done…. ➤ show 9 comments Ken, Congrats on your new portfolio site!

Come fly with me, let’s fly, let’s fly away… Since I’m back in the air tomorrow, I thought it to be fitting to share some photos of the cool modern architecture of the Munich airport. As I prepared to say goodbye to Europe last September I had a couple of hours to kill at the… ➤ show 11 comments Nice shots! And what a cool building!  Hi Ken … great shots …  Hey Ken, I love that you always keep your word when it comes to sharing amazing pictures  These are amazing photos! Great job making an airport look so artsy!  Awesome post! Your pictures really bring this place to life. Thanks Eden, I was really impressed with the Munich airport. My hometown airport in Montreal is horribly ugly in comparison.  I love these photos. It’s like I’m actually in that airport. Well done! Keep posting photos like this.  When it comes to modern architecture I usually enjoy pictures of it rather than the real thing… I don’t know why. I just think it looks better on a photograph.  I really enjoy reading about your travels and looking at your awesome detailed photos.  I absolutely loooove this airport and every time I exit it for the S Bahn, I walk aimlessly around taking in the view. I think it’s amazing architecture! Fantastic photos!  Red Carpet… For me? When I told friends that I was going to be in Budapest, several made a strong point of telling me about how special the Hungarian Parliament Building was. I had just arrived from the other old capital city of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and had a big fill of amazing architecture in that… ➤ show 19 comments  Ken, I love following your blog. Your pictures show a beautiful story that is garnished most appropriately with your written account. Love it! I am learning a lot of vocabulary from you eg WOW and HOLY COW.☺ Granduer! Granduer! Your work. And the parliament buildings too. So I did wait and it was worth it. WOW indeed!!!! you were right!  Wow indeed! Have you ever visited Brighton, England? I would love to see you photograph inside Brighton Pavilion. WOW is right! You really captured the richness and beauty of this building!  Stunning images! The details are just incredible and so ornate. Love the background story behind the images. Cheers! Holy Cow doesnt seem to cover it Cheers  I love your photography, but this building is setting a new standard. Way to go!! Beautiful shots here Ken!  Wow! Beautiful shots! Gorgeous!  Triple wow! Fantastic photos. I’m green of envy That is the most stunning architecture I’ve seen in a long time now! Now Hungary is going up on my travel list for sure!!!!  These pictures are absolutely amazing! What a site to see. Barb, Thanks so much! I love sharing the images and stories. It’s nice to know that and appreciated  Hello! Just want to say thank you for this interesting article! =) Peace, Joy.  Wow, this is simply amazing!  I have visited the Parliament in Budapest and remember being amazed at the grandeur, detail, and beauty of it as well. Your photos really capture it! And how amazing to have an entire hour to yourself to get those photos (jealous!). I hope to visit Budapest this summer and see this amazing building again.  Hello, Was glad to see your amazing pics of the Hungarian Parliament. I am Hungarian and I live in Budapest, I also have been to the building some times and I never could make good pics due to the bad light conditions. To be honest I have never seen any such perfect pics made about the parliament building than yours, let me congratulate for them! I hope your return one time and make good shots of other buildings too in Budapest, there are some more perfect spots for making similar pics. How much time do you spend in your home country: Canada?  Hello, I want to ask you a question: The Parliament can be visit alone, without guide, no guided tour? how many hours take an ordinary visit? (I want also take some photos).  Hi Ken Kaminesky, I really love to watch your beautiful pictures that you taken. In addition, the magnificent inside pictures of Hungarian Parliament is so wonderful; is out of imagination. Thanks for sharing these. |

I hope you can make it to southern France! It’s an amazing place. But if I’m honest, no matter where you go, your photos are always outstanding
That Canada coast-to-coast trip is by train. Should be unreal. I’m also curious about which travel bloggers you met up with here but I’ll let you keep your secrets.

Awesome Ken!
If you do manage to go to Umbria, I would LOVE to see photos of yours from a town called Todi, which is one of the most varied and beautiful of Italian towns I’ve been to, not to mention immeasurably gorgeous by dawn, dusk and lit up at night.
I can’t think of another photographer I know who I’d rather see shots of the town from. It NEEDS to be on your itinerary!
I just discovered your site and am in awe of your beautiful photography. Just stunning! And Iceland? One of the places I have always wanted to go to. I’m also heading to Lebanon this year! Looks like it should be a fascinating place!
Hi Ken, Nice work! and Lovely webdesign! congratulations! keep the good mood! Ana
You still take my breath away – every single time I come here I am stunned…gorgeous
Intriguing photographs, its extraordinary how they pull you into the scene. What is the sheen or glow coming off some of them… particularly the above photograph? Loving the whole vintage travel look of your site btw! Very cool
Hammerstein and Metallica quotes in one article!
Very nice.
Beauty in a gritty bell foundry…great job, Ken.
If it looks like,—if it feels like, — then it must have been photos shot during the medieval times. Wrong! It is Ken Kaminesky’s unique style of photography. What a lovely surprise. Awesome work.
Superb!
Beautiful stuff and I love the look of the site. Awesome.
Marie-Eve, Thank you! Southern France is way up there on my list of must see places. Hope I can make it there this year.

Andrew, the cross Canada trip would likely be by train. What a great way to see the country.
-
Oli, thank so much for the tip about Umbria and for such a kind comment. I hope I get the chance to photograph Todi now

Bula, Iceland will be amazing. It was and is my #1 country to want to visit right now. Have fun in Lebanon!

Little G, thanks for dropping by! The glow is just the ambient light in the foundry.
