Welcome friends to my travelog 2023. I am traveling in Europe for the next 4 weeks working everyday to make new work and exploring.
I am struck once again by the overwhelming feeling that comes with being in a new place where everything feels dramatic and is calling my attention. My first few days in Copenhagen and today in Bordeaux I have found my self making " record shots" and this is not my intention. I am a photographer who strives to see deeper into my surroundings and so far I've just been scratching the surface. I think this happens to many of us as we find a way to be mindful and intentional in a new place. For me I find that it helps to think in terms of smaller details and paying attention to how I feel as I am seeing new scenes. I would be curious to hear from some of you how you help yourself to react and be more fully in the moment in a new place.

I strive to visualize isolated elements within a scene that are composing a statement of their own, separate from what is going to in the obvious present -moment. Describing this is trickier than seeing it in that moment. Enjoy your exploring!
