Blog: Observations part 2

Went back into my old hard drives and found these images from a sun soaked evening I photographed at São Conrado beach in Rio, Brazil in 2014.

All I had to photograph with was a GE a830 compact camera, which was very limiting but it created some great sun flares.

I’ve always found it a great relief not to have to carry around a heavy DSLR, especially at a Brazilian beach where you want to blend in as much as possible. I guess thats why I’ve leaned towards iPhones for a while now.

I cannot wait to return to to Brazil once travel is allowed again. Hope you enjoy these images!

Blog: Observations part 1

An important step for me in staying motivated is to force myself out of the house with my camera even when I don’t feel like it. When I’m in that state of mind I’ll go down to my local subway station and I’ll board the first train that comes, uptown or downtown, and I’lI get off at the first station that I feel a strong urge to. I like to think that I’m letting the city decide where it wants to take me.

The following images were taken on one of those mornings and I happened to end up at the City Hall Station in downtown Manhattan.

I’m not including captions this time as it reflects the state that my mind was in when taking the images…which was just relaxing and simply observing without too much effort or thought.
