Photography can look very easy: after all, it only requires pressing a button. Truth is, making good images requires a lot of practice, time, hard work, and persistence. This is how I practice the craft every single day.
Eastern Sierra, California, November 2020.
A dirt road heading to the mountains.
Galicia, November 2021.
This is the Sil river, and the shore at this point is called "Ribeira Sacra" in Galician, which means "Holy Shore". Holy not because of the incredible views, or the amazing wine that they make here, but apparently because of all the churches and monasteries that once existed around here. Most of them still stand today.
Galicia, February 2020.
An image made a few weeks before everything went crazy. These storks were a great subject during the lockdown of 2020, and I can't wait to photograph them again now that they are back from their annual migration.
I can't believe it's been 2 years since I made this image, though...
La Mancha, December 2021.
In the foreground, the front wall and the entrance to an old "cave", where people lived a long time ago. In the background, the windmill they used to grind wheat to make flour.
Lake Michigan, April 2021.
One of my favorite images of 2021. In fact, it was April's Image of the Month. An image made during a camping trip to beautiful Sleeping Bear Dunes.
Madeira, November 2021.
Have you missed my trip to the beautiful forest of Fanal, in Madeira?
Thank you for an incredible year of photography.
Galicia, September 2021.
One of my favorite images of the year, one I made during an evening walk. I'm so glad I had my camera with me!
La Mancha, December 2021.
One of those magical moments to be grateful for. On my very last day photographing these windmills, the fog showed up transforming the whole landscape. As beautiful as everything was, things got even better with the appearance of this beautiful rainbow. It quickly went away, but I was lucky enough to capture it.
After spending a night up in Mt Hood, I was on my way down when I stumbled upon this beautiful view of the Newtown Creek and its canyon. The light was incredible, bathing an already stunning landscape with some magic.
A "last minute" image on a backpacking trip that almost didn't happen: sandwiched in between a windstorm and a snowstorm, the window for me to finally sleep next to the beautiful volcano was very, very narrow.
Remember: there are two sizes to choose from, 6x6 and 8x8 (inches). In both cases, the matt and frame are 12x12 (this means a bigger margin for the 6x6 print).

Indiana, January 2021.
Another image from last winter, this one made from the balcony.
Indiana, January 2021.
Last year's Christmas was a white one in Indiana, when I made this image. This year's is a bit different, wet and much warmer. No matter the weather you have these days, I hope you all have a great time and take appreciation on what you've done this year.
Colorado, September 2020.
The Rocky Mountains welcomed me with a very early snowfall, at the beginning of September. I couldn't have asked for better conditions, as fresh snow covered the mountains, and the fog swallowed the forest.
Galicia, December 2021.
From a beautiful foggy morning in town.
Galicia, December 2021.
We had some lovely foggy mornings last week, and I tried to make the most of them. So much that I felt a bit relieved when I woke up this morning to a clear sky. For the first time in more than a week, I was able to enjoy my morning coffee and take it easy with breakfast. As I called it before, it's a blessing... and a curse.
A beautiful morning of photography in a very foggy town. Of course, I had to take you with me.
Galicia, December 2021.
A foggy day in town, early in the morning. A perfect day for photography!
Galicia, December 2021.
I grew up calling this bridge "The Roman Bridge". Everyone around here still calls it "The Roman Bridge". But it is not Roman at all; it was actually built in medieval times, around 500 years ago. Still old, but not that old.
Today, it's one of my favorite subjects to photograph in the fog.
Madeira, November 2021.
I guess technically a tunnel (or an arch), not a cave, but it did have the feeling of one. I went with a long exposure to make the water look as still as possible, and also to make the ocean in the background a bit less distracting. Long exposures have that ability of making even the most dramatic scenes look peaceful and calm.
