I let AI plan my 2,200-mile photography road trip across the country

January 08, 2026 in journal

My photography road trip across the country comes to an end. In this last episode, I let the AI plot the route back home. I asked it to highlight some lesser-know spots along the way that I could photograph, and the results were... interesting.

Caught in a rainstorm in Death Valley

December 28, 2025 in journal

The forecast had some rain for Death Valley National Park, so I immediately booked a campsite. I was hoping for some rare conditions in the park, and I did get some of that. The consequences were a bit unexpected, though.

This lens might finally retire my beloved Tamron 28-200mm

December 22, 2025 in journal

For the last few months, I've been using the Tamron 35-150mm f/2-2.8. It's a wonderful lens, but it comes with serious drawbacks. Will it replace my all-time favorite Tamron 28-200mm f/2.8-5.6?

Frustration is unavoidable in photography

December 18, 2025 in journal

We all feel frustrated about our photography at some point. But the doubs and fears are normal and part of the process. We get to create not because we don't feel them, but despite them.
