Last day. Current stop. 🥲

Currently in Ibiza for three days which will conclude my two-week vacations. Found this Marshall speaker upon entering the room of our hotel. Great looking design. It goes along the design lines of the hotel. Very good sound. Planning to get one of these after coming back home: a Marshall Acton III Bluetooth speaker, a more recent and improved design for controls.

Couldn’t make the city walk I had hoped for but managed to get that one done. Not bad. I always liked symmetry that can be found in cathedrals.

Travel update: I’m currently in Valencia, Spain, still figuring out if we will go off the ship today for a walk in a city that we already visited back in 2017. One idea would be to revisit some places but with this idea of trying different photo takes with more modern photo gear (was using an iPhone 7, Nikon D80 back then if I remember correctly).

Currently in Catalina, Sicile. Rainy day. Brought my camera with me but got no inspiration to take photos, except that one which is in line with the current weather.

It’s 2025 and I’m still fascinated by the lack of efficiency of barcode or QRcode reading equipments at airports or train stations which greatly reduce the flow of people trying to catch their flight or train.

I love those courtyards which are everywhere in Europe, especially in bigger and denser cities like Rome. Always something interesting or intriguing to see and catch.

Back on the train after a day in Pompeii, Italy 🇮🇹 . We can see the Vesuvius volcano in the backdrop. What a beautiful and fascinating place. If you go there, spend the whole day. Don’t miss a pizza at the Pizzeria de la gare. 😋

Finally made it to Rome Italy 🇮🇹 . The first day is always the hardest one, thanks to the jet lag 😵😵‍💫🥱. But I always try to keep my photography eye on alert.

Last day of work before a two-weeks vacation where I’ll spend some time visiting Rome, Pompeii, Ibiza, Valencia, Naples, Amalfi Coast, Taormina, Valletta and Palma; places that I’m eagerly waiting to visit! 😀

I’m going for a trip in southern Europe at the end of next week for two weeks. I’ll visit Italy and Spain from a cruise ship and the many stops that are planned. I’m still undecided as to what device should I bring: my iPad or my MacBook Air? The former is highly portable and much lighter, but the latter would allow me to spend more time learning Elements during flight time. I may be overestimating how much free time I’ll have to use these things… 🥴🤷🏻‍♂️

I’d love to be there right now instead of enduring winter.

It’s winter here and getting really cold outside, so let’s go back in time, and travel to Morocco. Circa June 2023.

I was standing on an upper level deck on a cruise boat in Rio de Janeiro, on December 31, 2022. This is what I could see on port side. Again, I love contrasts. #blackandwhite #blackandwhitephotography #architecture #graffiti

In a taxi to the airport, on a rainy day, somewhere in São Paulo. I love the mood of that one. #blackandwhite #blackandwhitephotography #graffiti

Somewhere in New York, circa November 2024. Ephemeral whispers of the sky meet mankind’s steadfast monuments. #blackandwhite #blackandwhitephotography #architecture

At Fort Lauderdale Airport: I was really impressed by the scanner they use at the security gates. The operator uses a big screen similar to a big iPad and uses touch gestures to tilt and rotate luggage in 3D, uses a slider to see slices of the bag’s internal content. Really cool.

Leaving Haiti. 😍

Great use of Apple offline Maps in Miami. Works wonderfully well.

Dealing with Airline companies is not my favorite thing in the world. Flight got cancelled. Booked another one. Barely made it to the gate. 😅
