NNowack - Nathan Nowack

Nathan Nowack I'm an amateur photographer who has devoted the past year to become a full time professional photographer. For the past 8 years, I've worked in the DVD business as a Programmer and Producer. Hoping to escape the crazy, stressful life of the Hollywood industry, I decided I needed a change. So I quit my job, tied up my loose ends, and was off on some eye opening and memorable 2007 vacations. While traveling around, I continue to take as many photos as possible in hopes that they will someday fill my portfolio and supply me with future jobs. But while I travel, I also want to experience and learn about as many new cultures as possible and see how other countries live, work, and socialize. There is so much to see in this world and so little time.

If you would like any of the following photos on my blog, I have a website where they can be purchased in framed or unframed high quality prints.
Please visit www.nathannowack.com Or if you have any other requests or questions about my services, please feel free to contact me.

Summary of 2007:

Costa Rica was amazing. Many things to see, many things I'll miss. In the rainforest, everything seemed to be moving. Monkey's rattled the trees, while spiders spun their very large webs.

My 10 year desire to visit Australia has now been fulfilled. 2 months of amazing sights, making extraordinary friends, and remembering it all in my mind and on my camera. I was happy to visit my family, backpack on my own, and scuba dive on the Great Barrier Reef.

New Zealand surprised me as far as what I expected to see. I had heard of the amazing coasts, green hills, and Lord of the Rings landscape, but I never imagined I would have done so much in only 21 days.

Alaska was an eye opener with beautiful scenery and amazing wildlife. A flight around Denali (Mt. McKinley) was the highlight, check out the blog for some high altitude photos.

North Carolina and New York City were two places that I've wanted to see and now that I have, I want to go back. North Carolina had amazing seafood, relaxing views, and intense wind. New York was filled with people from all over the world. Their 24 hour mentality and variety of things to do, make New York a must visit for any insomniac.

Napa Valley was Superb! Tons of wine, Great food, and wonderful photo opportunities.

2008

Well I haven't had much time for traveling this year. I've been submerged in Photography classes and am doing more weddings then I thought I would be. I have a few photos to upload, so I'll get to that, I swear.

Up Soon: San Francisco, Santa Fe, Colorado, Hawaii, and a few places around Los Angeles.

Cheers!
Nathan

Hello Blogging Followers. I'm sorry I've been so bad at not keeping up with my travel blog. I've been so busy with school, photography, and other aspects of my life that I really haven't gone many places. I know I need to update my travel blog with at least 4 trips that I've taken since this was updated. So I'll try to get on that. In the meantime, I have a new blog of just Photography related items. Please visit me there at Nathan Nowack Photography Blog and you can subscribe with the RSS Feed button at the top. That will [View Full Entry]

French Oak, Wine Caves, and a Rapping Wine Server. I've toured 4 amazing wine regions in Australia, traveled through the New Zealand Marlborough region, been on a Sideways tour in Santa Ynez Valley, tasted at some wineries in Temecula, and have even been to a wedding in the Willamette Valley of Oregon. With all of this cork popping, sniffing, pouring, and swirling, the one place I hadn't been to was the famous Napa Valley. My parents, being avid wine connoisseurs themselves, planned a trip up to [View Full Entry]

NYC - Not just a city from Comic Books When you think about New York City, what comes to mind? Do you think about Central Park or Times Square? Maybe you think about New York Style Pizza and the I ❤ NYC t-shirts. Some might remember the 9-11 attacks and the World Trade Center towers. And then there are those that will always think about the Statue of Liberty, Empire State Building, and the Brooklyn Bridge. No matter what you think about, New York City is more then just Skyscrapers filled with towering concrete and windows. "The Big Apple" or "The [View Full Entry]

For the past few years, my parents have been going to North Carolina's Outer Banks for a week of relaxation along with some action packed windsurfing. With 2 other couples sharing a large waterfront property, they rent their equipment conveniently next door, leave it assembled in the garage below, and wait for the wind gods to blow. Famous for its constant winds and shallow 3 foot waters, this amazing location is perfect for windsurfing, kite surfing, or just good old fashion kite flying. I have always been a fan of windsurfing and this year was determined to spend 3 days devoted [View Full Entry]

Northern Exposure in Anchorage Fun Facts about Alaska Jumping on Alaska Air, I had no idea what the 49th state had to offer. All I had seen was some brief pages in my travel book, a few shows on TV, and had heard stories from friends like Bonnie. Bonnie and I have known each other for 10 years, and when she announced she was moving to Alaska 2 years ago, I had to ask why. Alaska has always seemed so remote, cold, and distant from the fast lifestyle of LA or the changing technologies of the rest of the lower 48 [View Full Entry]

Seattle "SURPRISE!!", I exclaimed as I walked through the door to great Dan, a childhood friend from Oklahoma. Dan and I grew up together until the mid 80's when his family moved to Pennsylvania. Although they were states away in Chadds Ford, our families would still get together for vacations, weddings, or just to hang out. My parents and his had known each other since their college years and had a lot of history together. At one point, our familys even co-owned a boat in Oklahoma to accommodate weekly outings on Kaw Lake. 2 years had gone by, since I had [View Full Entry]

I had heard that on one of the decks, they had recliner chairs, which was the place to be if you were planning on sleeping for the 3 hour ride. Lucy, Gardenia, Anthony and I hurried on board to find a nice empty area and stretched out. As Gardenia and I discussed how big the ship was and how cool it was, Lucy yawned and made a [View Full Entry]

Rotorua, Taupo, Tongariro National Park, and Wellington: The Fun Continues Rotorua: Back on the bus and off to Rotorua as we continued to meet new travelers that jumped on in Raglan or said goodbye to others who were remaining to further explore the area. As we approached Rotorua, I imagined this thermal town would smell like rotten eggs and contain few activities of any interest other then a some bubbling mud pits and geysers. As we got to the city, Golem drove us around the main downtown area. He mentioned the smell as a few others agreed with disgust, but [View Full Entry]

Hahei, Raglan, and the Waitomo Caves (Tree Huggers, Surfers, and a Larvae with glowing poop) Hahei As we headed east towards Hahei on the Coromandel Peninsula, the first thing I noticed was that this was going to be nothing like Australia. Once out of the city, I couldn't stop staring out the window. The landscape was amazing! Lush, green hills sloped all around with farmland and a few scattered houses. Roads were lined with fern trees, keeping the soil on the sides of the hills from [View Full Entry]

New Zealand or Aotearoa (The Land of the Long White Cloud) From the beginning of my Australia trip, one of my plans was to head to New Zealand and see why everyone was describing it as one of the most beautiful countries in the world. Green hills, amazing coasts, friendly people, and an accent similar to Australian was what I expected. I knew Lord of the Rings was filmed here for a reason, and as a fan, I wanted to see some of this amazing scenery. So I jumped on my plane from Melbourne and in less than 4 hours I [View Full Entry]
