Taken with one of my Pixel phones a few years back. Just to be clear, I’m not getting paid to promote this Google phone! I genuinely enjoy using it and sharing pictures taken with it. While it might not be as powerful as my Sony(s), most people wouldn’t notice a difference in the photos. Certainly, not on social media anyway. I really should update my Pixel review now that I’m on the 7 Pro. I think it was the 5 last time I tweaked it.

During our epic USA road trip, we detoured to White Sands National Park, where we captured a breathtaking sunset. That’s my buddy Jonatas hauling a tripod and PD bag, while we reveled in an unforgettable evening. Having already braved the Burning Man madness with him multiple times, exploring this unique desert landscape together was a refreshing adventure!

Besides Rabat and Casablanca, this coastal Moroccan town (Essaouira) captivated me with its vibrant nautical scene. Every boat, from tiny vessels to larger ones in the distance, is painted with a striking blue, creating a fantastical spectacle. This voluntary tradition, not a government mandate, adds a unique charm to the harbor, as everyone paints their boats to contribute to the collective beauty.

While at my friend Tom’s place in the Hollywood Hills, we hiked a nearby trail overlooking the city. Zooming in on downtown LA, I captured this shot. Whether fog, cloud, smog, or a mix, it created a lucky and beautiful effect!

In a disorienting Beijing room, the familiar became surreal. Lights defied expectations, objects abandoned their usual places, and the mundane transformed into the extraordinary.

We were out at Bendemeer Estates to get some photos not long after it was beginning development and was pretty much wide open with huge tracts of land photograph. Soon after a big storm cell started to roll through the valley towards us. These are some of my favorite photography situations, mostly because they seem so unbelievable — this period when the bright sun is shining on the scene while an evil cloud, livid with storm, is making itself known for the immediate future.
