Here are a few of my favorite photos from our recent visit to the Georgia Aquarium. This place is huge. The main tank… wow. Just… wow. If you have a few hours to kill and are in downtown Atlanta, Georgia (and can cough up a hefty chunk-o-change for admission), I highly recommend going.

Okay, so maybe not.
Although, I can tell you about a great informational site to help improve your photography. Then, once you become a world famous photographer, you will be able to win friends and influence people. ;-)
