I posted one picture a couple months ago from Glass Beach in Fort Bragg, CA. It’s one of the coolest places I’ve been to, and if you haven’t been there, you should definitely check it out sometime. Just don’t be one of those people pointlessly filling up a plastic bag with the prettiest of the … Continue reading

From Gaza to Haiti
I’m long overdue in posting some pictures from my recent trip to Gaza. Stay tuned for that. There is still quite a bit to process and I hope I’ll get to it in good time. But for now, I will share one of my first impressions shortly after getting in the car on the Palestinian … Continue reading
Seashells by the Seashore
I’ve spent my last two Fridays working in Cape Canaveral… and driving back down to Miami. Both times I stayed nearby in Cocoa Beach. For those who have never been, it sounds much nicer than it actually is there. We wrapped things up mid afternoon on that first Friday. Instead of driving down during rush … Continue reading
Welcome to Grand Bahama?
The flight from Miami to Freeport only lasted about 30 minutes… but it would be another two hours or so before we actually made it to our hotel on the beach. I flew in with one of my colleagues and six bags, including four cases of gear. A word of warning to anyone intending to … Continue reading
Good times in Jamaica
I finally made it out to Jamaica… nearly two months ago!! What can I say? There are plenty of distractions in Miami outside of work that might have played some part in delaying this post. I left on Christmas day to meet a couple friends who were flying in from Baltimore. It was my first (personal) … Continue reading
Random shots #10
Here are some of my favorite shots from the past few weeks that haven’t made it into any other posts. All of them were captured on my Fuji X-Pro1, from Alabama to California and the Caribbean. Enjoy. Continue reading
Jellyfish on South Beach
One of the best things about living in Miami is that while most of my friends on the east coast are pulling out their sweaters and coats, I can still go the beach for a swim. The truth is that time is soon coming to an end for a few months (at least the swimming … Continue reading
From DR to PR
I just recently came back from my first overseas assignment since moving to Miami (not counting Lebanon). Our patch extends across the southern US into the Caribbean, so I expect this first trip to be the first of many. We started off in the Dominican Republic for a few days to begin telling the story … Continue reading
A new home
Reality is starting to settle in – it’s a good thing. I just came home to Lebanon yesterday… but that’s not the home I’m writing about. My new home is in Miami, and it didn’t really hit me until I came back there a few days ago from a short assignment in New Orleans. It … Continue reading
Shots from Miami
It’s been one month since my last post… The biggest reason for that: I’ve been busy closing one long chapter in my life and opening another. After spending well over 20 years in Washington DC, I finally moved out… to Miami. Sometime soon, I’ll be writing on what I do and don’t miss about the DMV. … Continue reading
Leftovers from Trinidad & Tobago
I lied… I said I was done posting pictures from my trip to Trinidad & Tobago. But there were a few from my Sony point-and-shoot that I felt like sharing. A couple may look familiar to those of you who follow me on Facebook. As you can see, there are a few panorama shots (I … Continue reading
Thoughts on my Fuji 14mm
I’ve had my X-Pro1 for about five months now, and I’d like to think I’ve put it to good use. Up until recently, all I had was the 35mm lens, which I’m very fond of. I’ve been wanting a wider lens for a while, but I was torn between Fuji’s 18mm and the 14mm. The … Continue reading
