My wife, Madison, walking our golden retriever puppy, Athena, for the first time at McConnell’s Mill State Park in Pennsylvania. Athena was so excited she was practically bouncing them down the trail in front of me. I ducked to the side and quickly snapped this with my Pentax 67 on Ektar 100 I had intended on using for the fall colors.

Stella smiles!

Together with two of my friends we drove up north to a remote beach where we went in for a quick swim in the sea. This is when I took this photograph.

Quiet moments in a surfing town —

Venturing into the heart of Hokkaido's rugged landscape with nothing but my trusty film camera was an experience unlike any other. As I embarked on this photographic odyssey, I found myself immersed in a world of raw beauty and untamed wilderness.

That was one of those moments when I thought to myself, "Oh yeah, I've got this!" I sat to relax and admire the beauty of nature, mountains, fog, tranquility, and the sun that was about to set. After walking up the mountain for more than 7 kilometers, I felt truly happy and relaxed.

A surfer waiting for the right moment to get into the water at Bronte. The swell is relentless, entering can become difficult and timing it between sets is key.

I was about to light a cigarette, with my camera hanging around my neck, when my boyfriend pointed out that a cat had sat on the statue's crown behind me. I dropped everything to capture it in this photo.  It took only 30 seconds, after which it left. I learned that you always have to be in the present moment when taking pictures, otherwise, who knows what you might miss?!

Snapped a photo of my best friend after our hike to a waterfall.

A self-portrait taken in my yard at sunrise. I enjoy the sun coming through the pines in the morning. I used a Minolta SRT 101 and Kodak Eastman Double-X. 

This is a photo of my friend Wyatt seeing Pioneer Peak in Alaska’s Matanuska Valley for the first time. Wyatt currently lives in Georgia and he came to visit me for a few days to see Alaska. I couldn’t help but notice him soaking in the scenery, too stunned to even take a photo. Shot on Ultramax with my Nikon F3.

As a beginner photographer, I had a chance to capture intimate moment of this gorgeous couple. Finding beauty in the tiniest details ♥️

Unconditional love in a single kiss 😘❤️🐾

An outing with my oldest sister, taking a moment before seeing a movie. 

I really liked the style and energy of this lady I saw in Sapanca, where we went for a trip. I photographed it in the wonderful nature and greenery of Sapanca. 

Took a solo trip to Paris and wondered the streets of Paris after going to the popular tourist spot to see the tour and stumbled on a park with this view and I was one of only 3 people in this spot. So naturally I had to get a pic!

Sunday walks.  The littest wanted to watch the horses in the nextdoor field, while Dad and Luca started on the footpath.

Dear little sister, it's true I am your 1st boss 😆 but will be your forever friend 🧡 I love you

Morning exploring in the Oregon dunes with Zelda. I recently started shooting film and was excited to test out Porta 800. After an hour of exploring, Zelda and I heard a pack of coyotes in the nearby woods. It sounded uncomfortably close so we decided to quickly explore in the opposite direction. After our unplanned cardio session, we stumbled upon this spot where we found our shot.

the joy of sharing moments of happiness with your friends
