All righty, hello everyone!
It's been a while
I just wanted to share a quick update with all of you of what I've been up to lately
I'm still in Spain, I've been here for a few weeks now
I haven't gone on pretty much any photography trips for a while
I've been working on some projects that I had been putting off for way too long
and I decided that it was about time to finish them, I finished two of them and I'm pretty happy with them
I wanted to share those two projects with you today, or at least a little bit
But first, I wanted to talk about my travel plans for the next few months, as well
This all will depend on the coronavirus situation that is going on, as you might be aware
Hopefully, it doesn't get worse, but if it does I'll have to improvise and adapt to whatever the situation is
but as of right now, the plan is this: in just a few days, we're gonna take a plane and we're gonna fly to Ireland
It's going to be very short, just a few days, we're going there because of Rachel's work,
but I'm gonna try to take advantage of that trip, and try to make some images around there
I don't know how much I'm gonna be able to move around, but we'll see
I'd really appreciate your suggestions about places and spots that I should visit, I'm gonna be just outside
of Dublin, so around there
I don't really want to drive a lot in Ireland, because after that, we are going to Iceland
We're gonna be there for 10 days, I'm very excited about this, that is one of my top locations in the whole world
I wanted to visit and I haven't been there yet
The weather looks a little bit tricky as of right now, they're having a little bit of snow and ice
so we'll see how much I'm gonna be able to move there, as well
but I have a whole plan for the 10 days where I'm gonna be visiting all the southern coast of Iceland
After Iceland, we are gonna be going to yet another Island, in this case the UK
We have a flight to Manchester, and that's all we have, as of right now
because of all this mess that is happening around the world and around Europe
I didn't want to commit to anything just yet, but my idea is to spend 2 months in the UK
I want to visit spots like Snowdonia National Park and the Lake District
and then several weeks in Scotland where I have plenty of places to visit
That's the plan, hopefully we can do it and we can go to those places
If not, well it is what it is, the most important thing here is that everyone is safe
I hope you all are safe and stay healthy
No matter from where, I'll be making new images and new videos and sharing them here
About the two projects that I just finished, one of them is gonna be a physical photo book
with an electronic version as well
It's finished, I just sent the final version to the printer last week, at this very moment a proof should be on my way
I'm gonna get it in a few days, and if everything looks fine, I will be putting it on sale on my website by next week
The book is gonna be called "Becoming an American", this is the cover
I'll be making a different video just specifically about that book, I want to show you what it looks like
and what you should expect if you decide to pick up a copy
The second project is another book, in this case is an electronic only book
an e-book that you can download for free from my website, right now, if you follow the link in the description down below
The book is called "Photography is easy" and I just share a lot of my thoughts
I've talked about many of these things here and on my blog, but I just wanted to put everything together
I talk about 10 myths about photography and I try to debunk them, or why I disagree with those statements
that are pretty common among photographers, or other people about photography
I share my opinion on my vision, and my philosophy about photography, and why I believe that it's
something easy and accessible to everyone, and why everyone should be doing it
I'll be making a series of videos talking about these topics, I'll publish them here in this channel
every Friday like I used to do with my quick thoughts
so if you don't want to read the book, you should expect me to talk about those same topics here very soon
And this is all, I just wanted to share those 2 projects that I just finished
I'm excited about that because I can finally move on and start focusing on something new
Also, my travel plans, hopefully we can go to all those places
if that's the case, expect a lot of videos from them and a lot of new images
The next few weeks should be pretty exciting
I hope you all are doing well, as I said please stay safe and stay healthy
Thank you so much for watching, and see you the next one
