Life update from Phoenix, Arizona

April 20, 2019

Hello from sunny and very hot Phoenix, Arizona!

I've been in the US for more than a week now and it feels good to be back. Especially in the Southwest where the landscapes take your breath away every single time.

Before getting here I got the chance to spend a few days in Madrid, Spain and Los Angeles, California. I didn't do much photography in those cities as we tried to do more "touristic activities" for once.

I did make some images here in Arizona. I visited Saguaro National Park, near Tucson, as well as the Superstition Wilderness, east of Scottsdale. I hiked to the top of Camelback Mountain and spent an evening in the desert photographing the moonrise.

Time flies, though, and we are getting ready to leave tomorrow as we move into New Mexico. NM is a state I didn't get to photograph during my last road trip in the Southwest, and I really look forward to it.

I'll keep you updated on our travels. I also post photos on my Twitter, I upload stories daily to my Instagram account, and of course I will be publishing videos about this trip on YouTube.
