The Big Trip
Blog by Lora and David Brody | November 2012-March 2014
In November 2012 David gave up his law firm partnership, I packed up my camera gear and we spent the next 2 years (with periodic stops back home) traveling to far flung places. We are slow moving tourists, preferring to spend enough time in each place to make some friends, learn a bit about their lives, and look for stories and photo opportunities that, we hope, you think are worth sharing.
