I’m excited and upbeat about the upcoming weeks/months. I’ll have a bunch of images to process (from my trips to Morocco & Canary Islands). Plus the migration out of Smugmug to Pixelfed will keep me busy. Finally, the upgrade to the iPhone 15 Pro Max(Ultra?) will be an occasion for a few photowalk sessions. All contribute to a more photography-intensive fall. 🏞️🏙️📷
I wrote that for myself. I always like comments! 😊

Location check in 🗺 — Final step before being back home. Some news from home: forests fires still rage and my fridge is broken. Lost some food along the way, I guess. Oh well.

Location check in 🗺 — First step in returning home. What a wonderful trip that was. 😍

The time for a wrap up to this trip to Morocco is coming soon. Here’s one quick fact: I took 2 times more pictures with my iPhone than my Nikon. This ratio keeps increasing with each year. 🤨

I’m trying out “Weather on the way” (App Store link) for today’s road. Interesting take on weather forecasts. Carrot Weather should add this feature! We’re leaving Marrakesh one day earlier because of 🥵🥵🥵

We are staying at La Maison Arabe, a well-known Riad in Marrakesh. This hotel is full of corridors, stairs and interior jardins forming a complex maze where we can get lost pretty easily. It’s like Fes’s médina. Beautiful place, really.

Location check in 🗺 — Finally. Visiting tomorrow with 45C temp. 🥵

Location check in 🗺 — Magnificent place. Photos soon. I swear!

Location check in 🗺 — Time for a quick lunch before continuing our road!

Long Day Spent Visiting The Big Medina of Fez
Date: June 21, 2023 at 5:54:55 PM GMT+1 Weather: 29°C Mostly Clear Location: Derb Salaj, Fes, Fès-Meknès, Morocco What a strange, busy, surprising place. Strangely, I didn’t take as many pictures as I could. I guess I was too busy looking around me, up, down, everywhere. 🤯 Visiting this Medina was like reliving the past, like going back in 800. Our guide told us that not that many things has changed since the early years. Continue reading →

I’m really looking forward for this trip...
Date: June 16, 2023 at 8:05:30 PM EDT Weather: 20°C Rain Location: Aéroport International de Montréal-Trudeau, Dorval, QC, Canada From a photography experience perspective… My backpack 🎒 is so heavy with this camera and “only” two lenses. My hope is to use my big camera as much as my iPhone, so that I don’t think that I brought this with me for nothing. 😜 Continue reading →

Charging all my devices. Installing app updates. Getting my bags ready. This two-weeks vacation is really welcome.

Just finished configuring my WhatsApp account on my iPhone. What a weird user experience. I couldn’t get my verification code to be sent by SMS after many tries. Finally asked to be called. WhatsApp asked me if I wanted to restore data from a non-existent iCloud backup. My account is configured with my current phone number which I’m pretty sure won’t work once I’m in Morocco. I bet that changing this phone number will require me to access my SMS on my primary line, which won’t be possible because I’ll depend on an eSIM. I’m not sure what is my “WhatsApp handle” either if such a thing exists. What is I prefer to use my email address so people can find me? I should probably spend an hour googling to sort this out.
And WhatsApp is the de-facto standard in most parts of the world, except North America.

I’m Testing Day One for My Travel Journal Experiment
Date: June 9, 2023 at 5:25:24 PM EDT Weather: 18°C Mostly Cloudy Location: Montréal, QC, Canada I’ll be going to Morocco a week from now. I plan to use Day One to document my trip there. It will be the first time since I’m a Day One user. I don’t know how I could not think of this before. I’ve been a big fan of Day One forever. It’s such a rich journaling app for the Mac, the iPad and the iPhone. Continue reading →

Suddenly, while I’m working on my iPad Pro in a coffee shop, I’m starting to wonder if having only my iPad Pro will be enough for my trip to Morocco. I need to travel « light », but… 🤔
