Around the corner from my loft is my nieghbor, the EndUp. During the week, it's mostly quiet. However, on any given Sunday it's pumpin', with a line outside the door. This is usually the scene at around 11....am...in the morning. I live being close to the EndUp because it adds a hip vibe to a rather commercial area.
One of my favorite places to photograph simply for it's rich color. The best time to visit is right when they open, to catch the sunlight as it rises over Paris.
Nestled just behind the famous Sacré-Coeur is a small park that allows some solitude from the tourists who come in hundreds to visit the site.
Having just arrived from the US, and with jetlag settling in at 2am, I decided to take this image from my hotel window. After I took the picture, I never closed the window during my 7 days there.
Traditional Catalan dance. People meet in front of the cathedral on Sundays to dance it.
A great location between Barcelona and Costa Brava, Girona is wonderful city to spend the day in.
One of my favorite places is the market of Las Ramblas called the Boqueria. I recommend coming here and grabbing some bread, wine, jamon and cheese then taking it back to your hotel and have yourself a quaint picnic.
In 2004 I logged over 200,000 miles in travel. I needed something light, strong and nice looking. When my Halliburton Zeroller started to show signs of wear, I purchased decals from Cavallini & Co., these are classic decals depicting the romantic days of travel.
A crack in the very foundation of the Tate Modern's turbine hall that spans the entire floor.
"Castells" –is a Catalonian word that means castles- they are a cultural phenomenon particular to Catalonia and consist of erecting human towers.
