Well it certainly has been a minute since I've updated here :). Here's a few images from Valencia this year.

A local merchant at the outdoor Sunday market outside of Mercat Central looks desperately for something to read on his phone, while in front of him sit stacks of books.

Sunday with this latest group of shots from the past couple of weeks. Our home city of Valencia never ceases to impress with interesting people and views to be found nearly everywhere one goes.

Captured during a recent morning walk in the El Carmen neighborhood here in Valencia. Often one will find wet streets like this even though there has been no rain. The reason for this is the street cleaners will come through, spraying their mixture of cleaning chemicals onto the tiles and bricks making up the pathways through the city leaving behind a reflective surface on which everyone walks, drives, and rides.

The 2023 Techno Parade in Paris is definitely the place to find people having a great time. Even if you don’t know what is going on or why, it’s a crazy awesome, roving street party. The wonderful thing for the street photographer is that everyone is happy to have their photos taken. No need to be sneaky or subtle, just raise your camera to your eye and this is the sort of thing that happens!

Techno Parade

A cool and windy afternoon in Castellon finds this bench alone without anyone to support. You can just make out its closest companion in the form of another bench like in the distance down the tile pathway.
