Love
It’s that time of year again – February 14th, the day of love, chocolates, and heart-shaped everything! But let’s not get too caught up in the commercial hoopla. Sure, Valentine’s Day is a great excuse to shower your special someone with affection, but let’s not forget the real MVP here: LOVE!
Thank you Kevin and Naen for. a wonderful session. Don’t we all wish we’ve found what you did?
Warm weather blues
I usually dislike the summer in Manhattan. The humidity and high temperatures make me really uncomfortable so I usually try to leave. I took this picture on the day of my birthday, standing on the deck of a magnificent boat I was lucky enough to visit. .
Pink City
They call Toulouse "La Ville Rose" or Pink City for its red tiled roofs and brick houses. We were lucky enough to get some beautiful pink sunsets from above the city's Ferris wheel on the left bank of La Garonne. We loved it both in daylight and at night. On this picture I used a Starbust filter.
Merry-go-round
Panning is a photographic technique that combines a slow shutter speed with camera motion to create a sense of momentum around a moving object.
Panning is a photographic technique that combines a slow shutter speed with camera motion to create a sense of momentum around a moving object. It is a way to keep your subject in focus while blurring your background. Panning is typically done on a subject moving horizontally, such as a moving car or a running dog.
I played a little with this technique on Wednesday when we went to Dumbo to celebrate Nico's eighth birthday. The kids loved Jane's Carrousel, and I took advantage of the moment to practice a little.
Janes' Carrousel has been around for 150 years—such a lovely Brooklyn thing to do.
Brooklyn Nights

The bar is dark, but it was worth keeping it that way to create a moody ambiance that would go with the setting. I used a high ISO, which my Fuji X-T5 can handle well. Even without a tripod! Then, I bumped up the exposure and cleaned up the grain in post-production. I was thrilled with the results!
Good-bye Sayulita
We fell in love with Sayulita a year ago, when we spent three weeks there working.
We fell in love with Sayulita a year ago when we spent three weeks there working. It's a fisherman's village in Nayarit that, despite being discovered by surfers and digital nomads alike, still maintains its charm and good vibes.
This picture tried to capture our last sunset there. We were at Odette's Bar Miramar.
