Yesterday I spent my first 4th of July in Miami, so naturally I had to go to the beach to check out the fireworks. I could have gone somewhere for a more sweeping view of the various displays up and down the coasts of South Florida, but instead I opted to get a few blocks away from the main … Continue reading
I was pleasantly surprised the other day to find out that VSCO released the fifth installment of its film emulation software. They called it “The Archetype Films Collection” describing what’s inside as “mass market consumer film emulations, from the golden era of analog.” If you’ve visited my blog before, you’ve probably seen one of these … Continue reading
As I was wrapping up my recent trip to Jamaica (pictures soon), I told my friends that I was actually looking forward to going home. Never before have I been in the Caribbean and actually wanted to go home… but then again, this was my first (personal) trip to the region, since I moved to … Continue reading
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
I could barely contain my excitement this morning. It’s not everyday that one heads so eagerly into the office… but knowing something special was coming in the mail for me made it that much sweeter.

These are some of my favorites from the past few months that haven’t made it to any … Continue reading
According to the website, VSCO’s fourth pack is dedicated to “current and discontinued slide film emulations that produce rich and vivid tones” – it does not disappoint. The pictures in my last post were all processed in Lightroom using this latest VSCO film pack. In the past, I’ve posted several examples of different VSCO film … Continue reading
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
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
