Writing and researching for my book, "Plants of the Bible," was the project that launched my interest in going to the Middle East for a study abroad through my school.  We leave May 5th for the holy land with a stop in Paris, France.  Now that the science and history portion is near completion, it's time for the photo phase of my book. Wish me luck and, feel welcome to send photography advice.  I've got a good camera, so hopefully the lens will do most of the work.
