It is well known that sunrise or sunset are photographers’ favorite moments. Without considering light quality differences, I usually prefer sunrise for a simple reason: less people are awake very early in the morning that late in the afternoon. However, since our trip to Brice Canyon, I’m not so sure….I really had a hard time […]
White Boat
In a previous post, I was looking for alternative ways to capture images of a landmark. Once I recovered from the emotion and vertigo we felt when discovering Horseshoe Bend for the first time, it was time to start thinking how not to take the same picture as everyone else. For sure, I could do […]

The Snow cone
As there was no direct flight from Chicago, we stopped a few hours at Zurich airport. Weather was pretty bad, the snowstorm was running for hours. The bus stopped a few meters from the boarding stairs. Plane was icy, tarmac was snowy, everything was white. Well, almost everything…
Green Rust
