Shot on Porta 400 on a beautiful morning in Steamboat Colorado. The Light was perfect

The Silhouette of  the woman engrossed in her thoughts and the warm glow  of the sunlight on the table and the breathtaking ocean backdrop  is my perfect moment to capture this beautiful and timeless moment. This feels like a perfect slice of life,  where everything aligns to create a timeless picturesque memory.

I had a morning shoot this day, so I decided to wake up extra early to see the SF sunrise. I sped over to Ina Coolbrith Park to see the morning glow over the Bay Bridge. To my surprise, Karl the Fog took the day off and gifted us the most magical views. 

Despite the rain on 2024’s final night, laughter, countdowns, and dreams filled the air ✨

This beautiful wedding took place at Oak, Island NC. The golden hour was hitting just right and the bride was looking over and just being in the moment. I had to snap this moment so quickly and I couldn’t be happier with how this picture looks.

This cat had the attention of every passerby in Kakopetria, Cyprus, where i visited this past September. It was difficult to get a picture of him alone, but I realized getting him mid scratch said the most about his personality. Assomeone who volunteers with animal rescues, I was delighted with how cats are taken care of all over Cyprus. There is a definite campaign to keep animals spayed and neutered, vending machines where you can dish out feed to cats for a euro, and no cats as far as I saw showing any signs of disease. All this came together in this photo, where this curious fellow is glancing over his bench while getting yet another person's affection.  

My daughters and niece (the tall one lol) inspire me to be a better father day after day. I make a ton of mistakes along the way, but they continue to give me the privilege and grace to guide them in this world, and for that I am grateful. I guess the good outweighs the bad. This is a moment of happiness that I will return to regularly throughout 2025. 

Camera: Yashica Mat 124G

Film: Portra 400 

As I made my way up the stairs to the Supertree Observatory in Singapore, I noticed a child watching me intently, his face pressed against the glass with curiosity. I was the only person on the stairs, and the unexpected moment made me laugh. Instinctively, I knew it would make for a great photo. After capturing the shot, I made sure to connect with the family and shared the image with them as soon as it was processed. I hope it serves as a cherished keepsake from their family trip—one of those little moments that make travel unforgettable.

This photo was taken during the first backcountry ski trip of the 2024/2025 season. I found a nice background and waited for another skier to ride through the frame. Shot on Kodak Gold 200 with Yashica T4

Amazing view of mount Fuji from lake Shojiko

I walked through downtown São Tome with my bags full of film and the camera as my navigation, taking portraits in the streets. Chango was standing casually on the corner and I was immediately struck by his statue-like appearance and his motorcycle, called Swagger. His clothes and the color of the background, his machine, the color and structure of the grill behind him - everything was right and harmonious. I should try to capture this candid moment, I thought. He remained in this position, I kneeled down and took the shot. After the photo we talked and continued to meet.

Thank you

These horses and their local Indonesian riders  were continually riding across the sandy volcano plain and up to the base of Mount Bromo crater. Dust and sand meant the riders had to wear face coverings, while the horses had no protection

something about sitting next to the flowing water with a close friend chatting away soaking in all that's around us

I feel like fall has been extended this season due to the warmer weather!

The image captures the purity and joy of three children playing in the reflecting pool on the terrace of Sesc 24 de Maio, in the heart of São Paulo. They run and play barefoot, as the water mirrors their movements, creating a playful scene that contrasts with the imposing architecture in the background. Iconic buildings of the city, such as the Altino Arantes Building, stand out on the horizon, emphasizing the contrast between the rigidity of the urban concrete and the lightness of childhood. The warm tone of the photo adds a nostalgic atmosphere, celebrating the simplicity and charm of a moment that transforms the city’s everyday life into a space for play and relaxation.

I took this lovely photo during my friends' wedding, right after the vows. Bringing my analog camera with me was the best decision I could make to give them a physical memory of that amazing day — the negatives were part of the gift. This was taken using a Zeiss Ikon Contaflex Super (from the '60s) loaded with Kodak Vision3 500T film.

Golden hour, whether in photography or medical care, represents the delicate nature of time.

In photography, it’s that brief window when the sun casts a soft golden light, suspending the world in a rare glow. In medicine, it’s the critical first 60 minutes after a traumatic injury when rapid care can save a life—a sobering reminder of our fragility.

In both cases, golden hour is a call to recognize life’s impermanence, to be present, to pay attention, act where it truly matters, and to find meaning and joy in the brief but brilliant light we are given.
