I just learned that a number of my photographs will be used on a ritzy project in Abu Dhabi. Mum's the word on the details, but, in the meantime, I wanted to surf on over to the emirate and get a lay of the land.

Verdict: Lavish. Lovely. Ornate. In other words, great!

Along with other vivaca visitors, I would love to know more!

What a place! What light! To be there must be like dreaming on your feet. So surreal.

Another place with really tall, modern buildings that I'd love to see (and photograph) with my own eyes is Dubai. I imagine it to be a more modern and constrained - but even further out there, somehow; at the same time - Las Vegas. Nowhere else (except elsewhere in the UAE and greater Middle East) is so much money being poured into building a modern Mecca to the luxe life. I actually have a friend who works for an American consulting firm, and he and his new wife recently moved to Dubai to live; it's where he's presently consulting. I really need to take advantage of that and go visit. Seeing as how expensive the hotels are (they're nearly all five-star operations), that might be the only way I'll ever get to experience Dubai. I gotta get on that before my friend's gig ends and they moves back to the States!
