    On the first Saturday of this year, I woke up to a foggy, freezing morning. Well below freezing, actually. I grabbed my camera gear, dressed as warmly as I could, and started driving.

  • A Bolder Bruges

    A Bolder Bruges

    Bruges has a lot of brick walls. Most are unpainted. Of the ones that are painted, most are in muted colors either due to intent or age. When there are bolder colors, they are usually on the doors and window shutters. All of this is admittedly a generalization, but the bolder colors usually caught my…
