Welcome to My First Blog Post

Hello, welcome to my new website Photo Historic Travels. My name is David Le Moal. The goal of this website is to showcase my travel experiences combining my love of history (and other things that interest me such as nature and film/theater) through the lens of artistic photography. My intent is to let the images answer the why you should go here while using my voice to explain the what, where, when and how I traveled to these places. My hope is that by providing travel tips, I can inspire you own journey to explore new destinations.

I actually came up with the name Photo Historic Travels while walking through Orlando’s downtown (subject to a future post) as it emphasizes what particularly interests me in traveling. However, there were a few other names that I feel best describes what this blogs will be about. The first potential title was something like “In Your Own Backyard” which illustrates my mission to showcase all the things some might find in their own area, even if my goal is to travel all over the place; the only downside to the name was I thought it might be too cliched sounding. The other potential title was “Not Just Breezewood” due to my interest in documenting beautiful American historic towns; the downsides were that Breezewood might be too obscure for most people, plus the name would make no sense if I ever travel internationally.

This is my first time building a website, so as of now this website will be a work in progress. Feel free to offer me any tips and suggestions on how to make the website work best for user experience. You may also suggest places I should travel to, but I do have a backlog of future entries at the moment.

Thank you for taking the time to read my first blog post. Stay tuned for more to come.
