Hills Of Santa Luce Sunrise, Pisa, Italy
I arrive when the light is already there. It is neither arriving not changing. It simply is. It divides the field with unexpected precision. One side remains in shadow, still holding the last traces of night. The other rests in warm morning light. Between them runs a narrow path. It was not planned. It was […]
Juniper Silhouette, Cardedu, Nuoro, Sardinia, Italy
Among the beaches of Cardedu in southeastern Sardinia, the one I feel most attached to is Su Sirboni—a name that means the wild boar. Not only is the beach set in a stunning bay, but it also boasts seascapes framed by the coast’s red granite rocks—sights rarely found elsewhere. I have photographed it using every […]
Sunset Over Waddencoast Near Westernieland, Netherlands
I am a mudflat-walking guide for the Wadden Sea area in the Netherlands. The light in this area is exceptional, especially during the morning and evening. This makes it a magical place to be.
Orciano Pisano Hills Sunrise, Italy
Some landscapes reveal themselves at once. Others ask for time. Not because they are more complex, but because they are built from only a few elements: a hill, a field of ripe wheat, and a sky in constant motion. Nothing demands attention. Nothing needs to explain itself. That morning, the day arrived without haste. Clouds […]
Trinity Lighthouse, Gibraltar
The day had begun with remarkable clarity at the Trinity Lighthouse on Gibraltar. The sea stretched out like polished glass, disturbed only by the gentlest ripples. With barely a whisper of wind, the air carried a peaceful stillness that seemed to slow the passage of time. Visitors paused to admire the endless blue horizon while […]
Red Rocks At Sunrise, Arbatax, Nuoro, Sardinia, Italy
The Red Rocks (Rocce Rosse) in Arbatax are one of the town’s famous attractions, serving as the backdrop for a major annual music festival held right by the sea. As the last of the previous night’s revelers were leaving, I was setting up my tripod and camera. Amidst yawns and curious glances, I searched for […]
Sunset Light On Mount Baker, Skagit Wildlife Area, Edison, Washington, USA
During the winter months, when the days are short, I make trips to the Skagit Wildlife Area, located between BayView and Edison, to photograph owls and other raptors during golden hour. During a lull in the activity, just as the sun was setting, I stepped away from the tripod-mounted setup and noticed the light on […]
Belmar Pier Sunrise, NJ, USA
The pier at Belmar, NJ, is a popular spot for fishing, surfing, bird watching, and swimming. I used an ND3 filter by Blue Frog to allow for a longer shutter speed. The 13-second exposure provides a soft, blurring effect that makes the sky and water smoothed out and ethereal.
Sunset Light Reflection On San Diego Skyline, CA, USA
I was inspired by a large, backlit photo hanging in a nearby Mexican restaurant. It was a picture from the sixties of the San Diego skyline, hanging on the entry wall. I tried many times to recreate my own version of that image but never really found the perfect spot. On certain days, from the […]
Big Hole Valley Rain Squall, Wisdom, Montana, USA
It was an early August morning, and it started the way many days begin this time of year: a cool morning breeze bringing a squall moving up the valley from the South. This system was most likely a weak cold front that originated from the Bitterroots, bringing some much-needed moisture. As the squall moved up […]
