This is probably where we are at in terms of season change and weather conditions… I will go from -12C to 21C in the spam of 4 days. Dealing with 75km/hr winds lifting and tossing my 90kg griller like a dead leaf, some drastic drop in temperatures and some 8cm snow drops the next day to double digit freezing temperatures after massive rain drop freezing everything around me and now anxiously waiting for the double digit Celsius hot of early spring. Quite a roller coaster here in the Midwest. But there are some green sprouts and some wild flowers showing up already so there’s always light at the end…

One of the most surreal adventures and experiences I had back in 2019 when I went to a remote part of Northern China, a few hours northwest of Beijing with my pal and crazy photographer .a.diestro and we visited the We started the hike early in the morning and we immediately noticed not only the lack of tourists, but the lack of people in general. We kept going till there was just The Wall and nothing else, no cities, no houses, just the vast nature and the remaining of the Wall. It turned out to be a 7 hour hike and even on the return some long hour after the sunset in almost dark climbing down these incredible construction full of history and drama. When the sun started to go down this scene unfolded right in front of us. I think I was shooting a shot per second as the light kept changing so rapidly. One of my favorite sunsets I have ever captured. Can you count how many layers are there?

A lot of you know what it feels to stand in front of the almighty in
For those of you that have not had the luck to experience it let me tell you… you have seen this picture many times on Instagram for years. But when you finally make it there… the spray in your face, the rumble of the water hitting the ground, the magnificence of the surroundings and, if like us, if you’re lucky, to be able to be in front of this majestic with your thoughts and your heart pounding… all by yourself!!! there’s no capture, video, drone shot or anything that can compares with such experience. So no, this is not one of those spots that once you see it you’re like…. Meh… seen it, done, let’s move on…. 😒 nah, this place traps you and transports you to another level man… totally recommended.

In the small island of , in the there is this unique geological formation known as the
There are approximately between 1300 and 1700 hills spread along an area of 50sq Km. They received this name because during dry season the usually green grass that covers them turns brown and looks like a massive gigantic chocolate bar. Hopefully they make it to the UNESCO’s world heritage list soon because the place is absolutely amazing!!!

Here is the inside of the Phoenix Intl Media Center in Beijing. But that’s just a section of it. There’s so much more inside this building it’s insane. An architectural design cathedral, every corner and every angle has a new perspective. I was so lucky that day with the weather, when the sun comes in this building the entire structure comes alive. Quite entertaining if you like architecture.

Road tripping through is not a joke folks… this country deployed the most powerful demonstration of strength through its unforgiving natural elements while we were there. I have seen nothing like this anywhere in the 50 countries visited so far. The rough landscape is just a daily reminder on how brutal this country is in terms of its natural elements and weather conditions. And yet… it keeps calling me again and again, reminding me it’s barely a 5 hour flight from home… have you experienced Iceland natural elements?

Somewhere in northeast Asia, at 42,000 feet altitude in the lower part of the stratosphere, when you wake up in a plane, everything is dark, everyone is asleep… and you open your window to witness some of the most spectacular unreal su rises… too good to be true. Too complicated to explain in words. Thank God my camera was an extension of me during that flight.

Have you heard about the … Not the movie but the actual principle… imagine all these butterflies last summer in Chicago and how their flapping wings had an effect and highlighted the interconnectedness and unpredictability of the world.
