After our last day in Prague, Lauren and I weren’t ready to go home. We needed time to breathe before whatever came next. So we rented a small house in Chamonix, packed the car with skis, books, rolls of film, and Sam curled up in the back seat. We drove into the French Alps.
We stayed a month. Practiced our French. Hiked and skied and read. Mostly just slowed down.

This past July, my family and I went on our first trip to Corfu, Greece.
We all crave the ocean in the summertime and Corfu’s beaches were a real treat.
The island itself is beautiful and the locals were all so kind. We spent our days exploring charming little towns and just finding and enjoying the calm.
As the kids grow older, I’m so grateful for these family vacations.

Always love this time of year. The mornings are crisp and the colors are something else.

I love black and white films. And I love this island. Here are a collection of photographs from last month from Nantucket.

As winter finally loosened it’s grip, I felt the urge to get in my car and wander. It seems like most of the time I end up in Concord.

The off season on this little island is my favorite. Each Spring is quite magical as the daffodils appear seemingly out of nowhere, the birds return, the afternoon light hits different, and the island is still quiet just before summer.

I thought I would share some photographs from our trip to Lousiana last month. I’m healing quite nicely and just finished my fourth and final rabies shot from the dog encounter.
I also added a new subscribe feature to this blog. You can receive my posts via email now if you wish. I’m feeling motivated to post more frequently these days.

A few weeks back, my wife and I made a day trip to New Hampshire and spent the day exploring Mount Cardigan. We heard about this place many times over the years but this was our first time. It was one of those magical fall days, the weather was crisp and the colors of the season was a real treat. The hike itself took about 4 hours round trip. The last 1/4 mile up the face was super challenging but felt great at the top.

A few months ago, I made a short trip to Paris. When I look at these photographs, it truly feels like a lifetime ago.

Last month, I made a return trip to Paris. I am not sure there is a more beautiful place than Paris in the fall. The air was crisp, the leaves were turning and seemingly everyone was outside.
This trip was brief like my summer visit and also work related. More on that subject in a future post. But I did manage to get out a few hours each day to make some photographs.
One highlight was randomly bumping into my friend Joe and Andre Wagner in the Marais.
