Come here

Fanal, Madeira, November 2021.

It's almost like the tree is trying to pull me in. At least, that's what I see when I look at this image. Another one from the magical forest of Fanal, in Madeira.

Illheus da Janela

Ribeira da Janela, Madeira, November 2021.

While I spent most of time in Madeira photographing the beautiful forest of Fanal, I still managed to visit other locations and make some images of other parts of this stunning island. One of them was Ribeira da Janela and its pretty rock formations, called Illheus da Ribeira da Janela.

Tree with a view

Innsbruck, Austria, November 2019.

An image from back when I went "compact", made in the mountains surrounding beautiful Innsbruck, Austria.

Heaven

Madeira, November 2021.

Not much more I can say about this magical place.

Street in Riglos

Mallos de Riglos, Aragon, October 2021.

Riglos, one of the many cool towns in the Pyrenees.

A dance of trees

Madeira, November 2021.

This is a favorite of mine from the trip to Fanal. I found msyelf coming back to these two trees, and even though I made images of them alone, by themselves, it felt like they belonged together. A dance of trees.

Abandoned tiny house

Galicia, October 2021.

Well, I don't even know if it's a house at all -it might be just a shed. But whatever it is, or was, it definitely caught my eye while riding the bike on this foggy morning. There's something about it, perhaps that all the blinds were down, the contrast between the white and the darker environment...

Square tiles, Madeira

Madeira, November 2021.

Even though Fanal got all my attention during my trip to Madeira, I still managed to visit other parts of the island. I had done almost no research, so the spots I ran into were a surprise, including this one in a small town in the southwestern part of Madeira. I absolutely loved the square tiles, and the columns, and the ocean in the background... what a cool place!

Ent

Madeira, December 2021.

Fanal is one of those special places where magic happens every once in a while. This is a beautiful forest at any time, but when the fog rolls in, it becomes one of the most stunning landscapes I had ever seen. A place out of a fairy tale.

Watch the video of my trip to Fanal, Madeira, here.

A dark evening at Lago di Garda

Lago di Garda, Italy, November 2019.

I made this image two years ago. So many things have happened since then! But I still remember the week I spent by this beautiful lake.

Lake Tahoe, Nevada

This wasn't an easy place to photograph. For whatever reason, I struggled during my time in Lake Tahoe. I had to push myself, but now that I look at those images, a year later, I'm so glad I did. These images have grown on me, and are some of my favorites from that road trip.

Bonneville Salt Flats, Utah

Bonneville Salt Flats, Utah, May 2019.

Sometimes, you just get lucky. I've been to the Salt Flats in Utah a few times, but I had never seen like this morning in May 2019. Recent rainfall had flooded the area with 1-2 inches of water, creating a landscape like no other. The reflections on this calm water were out of this world.

Dragon Tree, Madeira

Madeira, November 2021.

An image I made today while strolling around beautiful Câmara de Lobos, in the island of Madeira, Portugal.

The dragon tree is a native especies to the area of West Morocco, Canary Islands and Madeira. They can grow really big and old, but this one seemed to be just getting started with life.

Downtown Portland at sunrise

Portland, October 2020.

One of my favorite places, at sunrise.

Cañones del Sil, a panorama

Galicia, November 2021.

A panorama I made at the beautiful Cañones del Sil. Just another day at the office.

Door

Galicia, November 2021.

Sometimes, the best images are the unexpected ones. I wasn't planning on visiting this 1,000-year-old monastery on that morning and yet, I ended up going there. I'm glad I did, because this is my favorite image of that day.

Trains of Indiana

Indiana, 2021.

A series of images of trains in Indiana.

Birds in the fog

Galicia, November 2021.

This image is an example of why my favorite lens lives almost permanently on my camera, and of how unexpected photography is. Of course, I had no idea I was going to be photographing birds flying in the fog.

That wonder, what image we will create next, the one that doesn't exist yet, is one of the many reasons why I love photography so much.

Dot of light

Galicia, November 2021.

An image I made a few days ago during my morning walk. This is one of my favorite moments in a foggy morning, when the Sun starts to get through the dense mist. The whole landscape becomes a bit otherwordly, eerie, mysterious, lovely. These are the moments that make photography so great.

Sidewalk tree

Galicia, October 2021.

These are the images I love making the most. Mundane scenes I walked by hundreds if not thousands of times, until one day, I see something.

I made many more images on this foggy morning, watch the video here.
