Galicia, January 2022.
This is not a dry land by any means, but for whatever reason, we don't have any lakes around here. So when I found this tiny pond while "scouting" on Google Maps, I knew I had to check it out. It didn't disappoint!
In this episode, I find a new spot to photograph in the fog: a pond. But what a pond!
Portland, Oregon, October 2020.
Semiahmoo Bay, Washington, October 2020.
Right where the US ends and Canada begins, a beautiful and peaceful morning by the bay.
A few weeks ago, I had the absolute pleasure of talking to Neale, from the Photography Daily Podcast. Have a listen to the episode, and make sure to check out the ample library of conversations with other amazing photographers.
Indiana, February 2021.
A beautiful tree by Lake Wawasee I walk by every day (when I'm in Indiana, that is).
Photographers might be destined to permanently feel dissatisfied. Because if we were to feel satisfied, would we still go out and create?
Learning to deal with this feeling is something a photographer must face at some point. To accept it as something that will always be there, if only as background noise. And to recognize what it is when it eventually becomes louder.
Castilla La Mancha, December 2021.
Most of the images I made of the windmills in La Mancha were from very close, almost "intimate portraits" of these beautiful windmills. But I also made a few from far away, to contrast these gentle giants against the even bigger landscape.
Madeira, November 2021.
Fanal in a nutshell: bent old trees, fog, cows, and mountains.
The Great Lakes are one of my favorite places to photograph during the winter. The conditions can be extreme, but that's what makes them so special. I lost count of how many times I froze at the shore taking photographs. What I do remember, though, is the feeling of gratitude afterwards. It is a very humble experience, to battle the elements. To discover how fragile we are.
This fence is almost the perfect metaphor for this feeling: we can try to put up gates, but there's no stopping nature. And that's just such a beautiful feeling.
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).
Shipping is free to the US now. International shipping is a flat rate of $19.95.
A new image will be released every month and offered at a reduced price during that time. After 30 days, it will be sold at full price. They will never be on sale at any time in the future, the rate during the first month will be the lowest, ever.
You can find more information about how I create my images and all the details about pricing on The Art and Craft behind my prints.
Galicia, January 2022.
An image from the video They are back. The storks are back in town!
The storks are back, and I couldn't be happier about it. Plenty of photo opportunities, and a lot to learn from these beautiful birds.
Amsterdam, September 2019.
It feels like it happened a few lives ago, but it was just two and a half years ago that I was walking on the streets of Amsterdam.
Indiana, January 2021.
There was no school on this day. The storm left quite a few inches of snow and kids were told to stay home, although many actually went outside to enjoy the fresh powder on the ground. I did too.
Glacier National Park, May 2021.
A beautiful and peaceful foggy morning by the lake. Watch my video from Montana: Photography in West Glacier National Park.
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.
