📸 🇹🇷 Photo Essay: Istanbul, Türkiye (and a few closing thoughts on the city)
We were on the ground in Istanbul for less than 48 hours. There was A LOT to absorb – overstimulating is probably the right word. I felt like I was taking pictures of everything and nothing at the same time. And as much as the photographer in me wants to be using my Leica or…

Photo Essay: Costa Rica 🇨🇷
I take a lot of pictures when we travel. A LOT of pictures. Probably approaching an annoying amount of pictures. But when I post them, I try to curate. I choose the top 10-15 photos that represent the day and edit them. Because no one wants to see 113 un-edited vacation photos. No one. After…

Photo Essay: Pieces of Mauthausen
I felt like our trip to Mauthausen deserved a separate photo essay. I made an editorial decision, and put all of the photos in black and white. Color just didn’t feel right. Also: I chose to focus on the “pieces” of Mauthausen, instead of whole infrastructure. I take a lot of pictures when we travel.…

Valia Calda National Park, Greece 🇬🇷
Big change of scenery today as we moved into northwestern Greece to an area near Pindus National Park. Our local guides are Visilis and Achilles, which is the single greatest Greek tour guide name ever. Visilis teaches physics at the local university, and Achilles is a former Greek national rowing champion. We’re only about 30…

Mykonos, Greece 🇬🇷
Took a driving tour of some of the remote and quiet(er) parts of Mykonos this morning. This is an extremely DRY place. One cigarette butt tossed out a car window could ignite the whole island. I feel like Smoky the Bear has missed a campaign opportunity here. There are over 1200 churches (or chapels) on…

Mykonos, Greece 🇬🇷
Remember what I said about not wanting to drive in Santorini? Forget all that. Santorini is little league. Mykonos is the big leagues. I’d post a pic, but I’m intentionally riding backwards in the van so I can’t see the traffic situation. Impossibly narrow roads with lines of cars wanting to go in both directions.…

Santorini & Mykonos, Greece 🇬🇷
Slept in this morning while Ken went to climb a volcano. A pack of island dogs decided to join him for the hike. Missing Duckie. Took my first ever helicopter ride this afternoon — Santorini to Mykonos. Helicopter pilot was from Sweden. My people! I will admit to being a little anxious, but I did…

Santorini, Greece 🇬🇷
Places I would not like to get my driving permit: Santorini. Had an exciting van tour of Santorini today with Kostas the Bold. Kostas is a Santorini local who navigates the traffic chaos on the island like some kind of wizard. Stop signs? Optional. Tailgating? Mandatory. One-way roads? Not today. One-lane road facing down a…

Santorini, Greece 🇬🇷
Santorini, redeemed! Another ridiculous-floppy-hat day in Greece today. Though I spent a lot of time holding said ridiculous-floppy-hat on my head because of the wind! Sidebar: Greek yogurt hits different in Greece. It doesn’t have that weird bite that Greek yogurt can have in the US. This morning’s Santorini version was served with apples, walnuts,…
