One of the things that always strikes me when I’m out with my camera is how much people add another dimension to travel. Cities are beautiful on their own—the streets, the architecture, the light—but it’s the people who animate them, who inject mood and rhythm into the scene. Every city has its own backdrop, but it’s the travelers, locals, and passersby who become the moving … [Read more...] about I Love Randomly Shooting People While Travelling

There’s a special kind of magic to standing on the wooden boardwalk at Pier 39, leaning over the rail with the scent of saltwater and clam chowder in the air, and realizing you’re not just looking at a few sea lions—you’re looking at an entire floating neighborhood of them. They sprawl across the docks like they own the place, and honestly, they do. The marina ceded this … [Read more...] about Lazy Afternoons with the Sea Lions of Pier 39, San Francisco

There’s something unmistakable about the way a Leica dangles from someone’s hand, not even in use but already turning heads. In this Lisbon street scene, the man carries it almost casually, as if it were just another accessory, yet you can feel the weight of what it represents—heritage, craftsmanship, and a certain aura that whispers, I know what I’m doing. The irony is that a … [Read more...] about Leica is Cool but it Invites Trouble

There are places you arrive at expecting to be impressed, but Burgos Cathedral left me almost stunned in silence. The moment I stepped into the square and looked up, those spires seemed less like architecture and more like stone spun into lace, impossibly delicate yet towering with such power that the whole sky felt reshaped around them. Even on a day when the clouds hung … [Read more...] about A Day at Burgos Cathedral

Some places don’t just dominate a city—they define it. Burgos Cathedral is one of those places. Rising out of the heart of the old town, its soaring Gothic spires puncture the sky like stone lacework, intricate and defiant against the gray Castilian clouds. You step into the square before it, and the building seems almost unreal, too delicate for its size, too monumental to … [Read more...] about Burgos Cathedral, Spain

If there’s a single spot that captures Lisbon’s contradictions in one frame, it might be Largo de Camões. At the center stands the towering statue of Luís de Camões, Portugal’s national poet, a man who gave voice to the country’s Golden Age of discoveries. Draped in Renaissance garb, he gazes outward with a sense of timeless pride, sword in one hand and an epic at his feet. … [Read more...] about Luís de Camões Square, Lisbon

Wandering through Lisbon often brings surprises—you think you’ve seen it all, then you step into a church that looks rather modest from the street and suddenly you’re standing beneath a ceiling that seems to open up the heavens themselves. That’s exactly the experience at the Igreja de São Roque, one of Lisbon’s oldest Jesuit churches and a place that feels almost like a hidden … [Read more...] about Igreja de São Roque, Lisbon

Lisbon is a city that thrives on contrasts—modern art rubbing shoulders with centuries-old traditions, quiet cobbled streets unfolding into bursts of color and sound, the everyday constantly blending with the extraordinary. Over the past few days, I’ve wandered from riverside installations to hidden lanes, and what struck me most is how each corner seems to hold a story. … [Read more...] about Good Times in Lisbon: From Sculptures to Coffee Rituals

There are cafés you duck into because you’re thirsty, and then there are cafés like A Brasileira, where you step inside and suddenly feel you’ve walked into a piece of Lisbon’s soul. The façade alone is worth pausing for: green-painted woodwork framed by stone sculptures, with a carved portrait above the door that reminds you this place has seen more than a century of stories … [Read more...] about A Brasileira, Lisbon – A Personal Review

Lisbon always surprises you, even indoors. After wandering the riverfront and soaking in the sunshine, you step inside the Museum of Art, Architecture and Technology (MAAT) and suddenly you’re transported into a different universe. Towering above the gallery floor, Joana Vasconcelos’s Valkyrie Octopus unfurls its shimmering arms across the space. It’s not just a sculpture—it’s … [Read more...] about Good Times in Lisbon: Inside MAAT’s Valkyrie Octopus
