What happens to your creativity when you limit yourself to just 1 lens ? This is what I found through my experiment. In 2021 I had my hands on the Sigma 35mm f1.4 rental lens. The following year I decided to have it in my lenses arsenal for good and continued my challenge with this…

Spring Road Trip With Our Dog, Pt 2
Malaga: Torcal de Antequera Late night arrival to the parking below the natural park meant less sleep with alarm set before the sunrise.

Road Trip In The Northern Spain, Part III
With Asturias we learned it could be either a good fog or a bad one. You can’t choose it, it chooses you. From San Vicente de La Barquera we drove by the coastal road, making a first quick stop at Playa de La Fuentes. After discovering it was full of people we headed to our…
