KODAK MOMENT of the Day

The Shimanami Kaido is a 70km cycle route across Japan’s Seto Inland Sea. The trail runs across six islands connected by some incredible bridges. This was taken on the Innoshima bridge. At 1.3km long it had some pretty special symmetry going on. The light was beautifully soft; diffused through the bridge’s beams with a natural bounce up off the water below. Worth stopping to get the camera and light meter out for!

This is a candid moment of Anna sitting in between a scene during a music video.

I only took one roll of film with me to Japan. And this was the last shot. Took it from the window of a bullet train and thought an unanticipated train station had ruined the shot. Turned out to be the pick of the lot.

Keeping warm in a winter wonderland 

I took a picture of my lover at an old school in Fukushima, Japan.

So, back in 2019 (?) we decided that we wanted to go somewhere else for the weekend in mid January. Since we live in the northeast of Portugal, by the sea, we did a quick research for cool Places in Galicia to visit. We were leaning for places in the countryside away from the multitudes and we faced ourselves with Fragas do Eume, which is one of the best preserved  riverside forest in Europe. In the heart of the forest, hidden in between the oaks you find the monetary of a saveiro (more than 10 century old). Sometimes the vegetation is so dense it barely lets light in. It is magical place and we would blink if an Elf passed by us. 

In that particular Sunday morning the winter sun helped the fog to dissipate and I was lucky enough to shoot it

Walking the cliff lines of San Diego with my friend. Yashicaflex tlr loaded with Kodak Gold 200. The sunset casted a perfectly warm light on her & the oceans blue was just the cherry on top. Wouldn't look this great with any other film. 

My husband and I were watching the wave conditions before heading out for a surf session and I looked to my right and noticed someone else also doing the same thing. In what seemed like a split second I hurriedly picked up my camera and captured the shot. I don’t know if he was prepping for a surf session but I remember observing how peaceful he looked watching those waves dance. Moments like these remind me of how simple and beautiful creatures we humans are.

A moment of peace and tranquility at sunset as I saw the couple walk by with their dogs. It was my last shot of film left and I had a good feeling as soon as I took the photo. Truly capped off a magical weekend with a very special person.

Although the holiday season looked a little bit different with various family members having the flu, thankfully we were all together and helped one another get through it. I was able to capture memories and a game of chess between my son and his grandfather were one of them. Of course, the pups had to participate too! 

I was walking through Waikīkī (Hawaiʻi) with my Pentax 6x7 and a roll of Ektachrome 100 around sunset and saw some people jumping off of a pier into the water. Shot this and happened to get lucky as one of them did a backflip with an older couple watching them nearby!

It was our first picture all together and first day outside with the newborn :)

One of my favourite Kodak moments so far was this scene I shot at Goodwood on Gold 200, it was during a grid walk of a Porsche celebration, I spotted this Playstation 1 livery Porsche 911 race car and just had to get a shot of it as it brings so much nostalgia. As I lined up my shot, this boy walked by with a matching jumper that fitted into the scene perfectly. I love that you can't always predict how a scene is gonna look and that sometimes faith just intervenes to make it special.

On a picnic we discovered a small abandoned place, it was full of beautiful pink flowers pointing towards the sun. These flowers only grow in the month of November and decorate the streets of the City of Puebla, Mexico.

This photo session was my first time meeting Ivy, we shot just one on one and and got to know each other. I feel this photo represents Ivy perfectly, she’s beautiful inside and out 

Holiday

Doggo was dressed up for the ocassion - the first day of the year, signifying new beginnings. He was also such a good boy seating in an adorable pose - I knew I had to capture the moment.

When you depart from Luang Prabang, Laos, this place is only about a 50-minute drive away. The waterfall restaurant is situated within the renowned Kuang Si Waterfall area, a must-visit tourist destination in Laos. Kuang Si Waterfall is famous for its clear pools and majestic cascades, making it a beloved destination for travelers. Drawing many visitors, they can visit this waterfall restaurant after admiring the waterfall's beauty and enjoy a relaxing dining experience.

Kodak Moment in Chicago with family and friends

Deep in the Colorado country side, we pulled over to take in the view. Bates found the better spot, resting on top of his jeep.

Questo è il riassunto di una mezza giornata che ha confermato che ormai conosco bene i nostri figli e riesco a tarare le mie aspettative sulla base delle loro caratteristiche personali.

Quiet moments of magic 

parked here in the night and woke up to this beautiful view on the Portugal coast, half asleep so of course had to grab the camera for a selfie  

My granddaughter Gianna was overwhelmed with joy as she held her Christmas puppy on Christmas day.

Somewhere lost in the hills of CO, I had to interrupt their frisbee game before we quickly lost light

Had the most fun day beach hopping in the Orange County 🏄‍♂️ 🌴 - wish we lived here, such a dreamy place 💚

This photo was taken at the top of the Inti Punku hike (the Sun Gate), at approximately 4000 meters above sea level, near Ollantaytambo, an Inca village situated in Peru’s Sacred Valley.

Deep within the desert-like dunes of Lencois Maranhenses are the havens of countless, natural rain-filled pools. The expanse of this Brazilian national park is nothing short of awe-inspiring. With so many spots to choose from, this is where my family and I set up camp for the day; feeling as though we were on another planet.

Chasing bubbles in Strasbourg

Last Friday at the Motionball gala supporting special Olympics Canada. 

Growing up, I spent as many of my summers as I could afford to in Greece visiting with family. I got my first camera when I was 12, and took it abroad with me that summer. I have been passionate about photography ever since, and got my Bachelors Degree Of Fine Arts in Photography in 2016 🤓
My Canon was gifted to me by the father of the guy I was dating back in 2012 so that I could start my college courses. It is still my favorite and most used camera even 12 years later. I quickly fell in love with film and the darkroom, and have been practicing analog ever since (am I dating myself yet? 😅)
I need to travel, I love to read, nature is my home base, I make a conscious effort to practice gratitude daily, AND I’m also a giant goofball… But not that giant because I’m not even 5ft tall.

Racing down the cul-de-sac as fast as we can 

Cabo Curioso: Acampando en una playa secreta patagonica. A solo 15 km al norte de Puerto San Julián.

Nos estamos preparando para arrancar el viaje por la RN40 (salimos el 18/03) pero antes seguimos descubriendo los lugares donde más nos gusta estar: aislados de toda civilización, pero en plena conexión con la naturaleza que nos rodea. Es así como descubrimos Cabo Curioso, una playa de arena fina; y decidimos acampar entre las matas, con vista al mar, resguardados del viento … solo el ruido de las olas y las aves marinas nos despertaron al día siguiente 🌊🦢

📍Cabo Curioso. Puerto San Julián. Pcia de Santa Cruz. Patagonia Argentina.

While strolling around the Bed-Stuy neighborhood in Brooklyn, I stumbled upon an adorable scene that I couldn't resist capturing. A young boy was cycling on the sidewalk with his father. It turned out that he was a former classmate of mine from high school, and we spent some time catching up and reminiscing about the good old days. It was a heartwarming encounter that made my day. I was grateful for bumping into them and capturing that special moment.

Just Bella & Lizz ;)

Moments with teddy

JoJo loves to celebrate holidays with his bestfriend, No Drama Llama. He loves to pose by his garden flags to celebrate! ❤️🐇🐈🦙

Remembering our first Easter of our family in the United States. 

Documenting our everyday life, starting with breakfast time.

I was trying to find the best spots for viewing Mt. Fuji

After years of saving  and planning , we finally purchased our first home! Closing day was really special for us and is the start of investing into our own little family.

So comfy and cozy in bed. I refuse to go potty in the rain.

40th birthday to my best friend. 
Friends are the family you can choose.
