Spain: home of paella, flamenco, sangria, horchata and lisps. A beautiful country rich in culture with modern conveniences, and architecture that will “wow” even the dullest of us. It’s quite different, historically, than Greece and Italy, for example. I guess what I’m trying to say is that it’s “less ancient” than the other two, at […]

In Italy…
Bari Because of the “Greek Fiasco” due to the air traffic controllers’ strike, we didn’t get to visit Malta, which meant more days in Italy. We visited Italy four years ago: Rome, Sorrento, Amalfi, Venice, Milan and Florence. This time around, we wanted to visit the other side of Italy: the heel area. Our plan […]
In Greece…
Athens Greece. The birth place of the European culture, slouvaki, feta cheese, and men who where male purses (technically, field bags). I fit right in wearing my ONA Berlin II camera bag. I also had the most feta in five days than in my entire life (one more day than planned, but I’ll get to […]
Looking for Inspiration
Convention Convention This year I finally decided to attend the PhotoPlus convention that’s held in New York City. I say finally because every year for the past few years, my friend, Matt Gore would ask me if I will attend, and I always decline for some reason or another. Since I now live in Massachusetts, I […]
Life With Leica: A Humble Message
I kinda stole the title from Thorsten von Overgaard‘s video, but I think it’s befitting here since, for some reason, having a Leica seems to be a big deal to many people, which oftentimes puts me in the spotlight, but I’m here to debunk that notion. Some photographers (at least, the ones who can afford […]
Seattle’s Best
I realize “Seattle’s Best” is a coffee brand, but that’s not what this title is referring to. I just needed a title for this post. This was supposed to be a post describing my experience shooting with two different cameras, but I decided to leave the shop talk for later and just write a photo blog […]
One Image. Again.
I don’t keep up with current events. Okay, not in a “current way”. I wait for John Oliver to deliver the news in his Last Week Tonight show. So, yeah, I’m always a week late than most of you. This is not always a bad thing because by the time I get the news, it has […]
Tête à Tête
Today I got a hair cut. Actually, it was just about an hour ago, but since I had my computer with me and I hadn’t had any breakfast, I decided to sit at a fairly remote wifi-enabled coffee shop that “starts with bread”, and blog about it. Only because I wanted to present to you […]
The Fauxtographic Process
A few weeks ago, I shot a 50th wedding anniversary in Arlington, Massachusetts. It was held at the Robbins Library. I thought “Library? Ok, we’ll see”. Given that I always visit a venue a day before the shoot around the same time to get a feel for lighting, etc. At least, I try to. The […]
Fauxtographic Journey
Our son’s 21st birthday was in March 11, 2014. For those of you who don’t know him , his name is Jonathan. Aptly named because we knew he was a gift from God. You may be wondering what this has to do with photography or blogging about photography. The answer is “nothing”, really. But it […]
