Yup! Summer is here to stay … till fall. Genius!

I wanted to make this post with audio but I’m starting a cold. My nose was running all day yesterday, and I feel that my throat is getting scratchy … So here I am, writing again. I’ll try to make it short and sweet because my head doesn’t feel all that great either. This Sunday … Continue reading A look back
Not a big fan of bringing a “big” camera to a bar. I’d rather go with the Ricoh GR.

I’m still trying … Continue reading Mother’s Day snaps

Anyway, just keeping in the line of simplicity and carrying a camera with you all the time here is the “new format”. It is my first … Continue reading And now with audio! … Say whaaat?! – The GR Files #1

Never been a hard core skater, I have gone through couple of boards back on my day but at some point I parted ways … Continue reading Carrying a camera with you pays off
