The Galician ugliness
in photographs
Galicia, January 2022.
These are some examples of "ugly" architecture you can find around here. People refer to it as feísmo galego, or Galician ugliness: for a very long time, there were no rules or guidelines when it came to building new constructions. As time passed, those structures got even uglier.
Today, I love photographing these buildings.
Entrance
in photographs
Galicia, January 2022.
Around here, it's common to see projects that were abandoned midway. Most of the time, it's the structure of a house that never got finished. In this case, they built the gate and the fence / wall first, the entrance to a piece of land stuck in time.

12 miles of photography

Today, my only goal is to walk as much as I can, and make as many images as I can. Come with me as I walk 12 miles around town in a very thick fog.

Island in a pond
in photographs
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!
It was too foggy
in journal
In this episode, I find a new spot to photograph in the fog: a pond. But what a pond!

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.

A beautiful tree by Lake Wawasee I walk by every day (when I'm in Indiana, that is).
The curse of the photographer: dissatisfaction
in journal
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.
Three windmills
in photographs
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.
Elements of Fanal

Madeira, November 2021.
Fanal in a nutshell: bent old trees, fog, cows, and mountains.
Image of the Month, December 2021: "The fence of winter"
in journal
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.

They are back
in journal
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.
