When Denver Won Us Over — Photos from 2010
Mike and I first visited Denver in the early 2000s, and we were not impressed — it seemed to be one of those typical Midwestern cities which empty out right at 5pm, as everyone hops in their cars and returns to their homes in the suburbs. But something changed over the next decade, because when…
A Day Trip to Moixent
Moixent is found in the southwestern corner of the Valencian province, but still within the border — at this time in the early summer of 2020, we still wouldn’t have been allowed to cross over into Alicante. The CercanÃas trains are slow-moving with a lot of stops, and it took over 90 minutes to reach…
Fallas Ninot Exhibition 2022 at the City of Arts and Sciences
First sign of Fallas – A visit to the Ninot Exhibition 2022. Fallas is back on track. After the strange, stunted celebrations of 2021, the city is trying to return the festival to its normal routine — and one of the first items on the agenda is the annual Ninot Exhibition. Last year, it was…
The Goya Awards Come to Valencia
For the first time in its 36-year history, the Goya Awards were held in Valencia. The Goyas are the Spanish version of the Oscars, celebrating cinematic excellence, and just like the Hollywood event, has become a showcase for glamour and fashion. 2021 marked the centennial birthday of Luis GarcÃa Berlanga — widely recognized as one…
Where the Fallas Magic Happens: Ciutat Fallera
It’s hard to believe that it’s almost time for Fallas 2022! We can still smell the smoke from the last edition of the festival (there might still be gunpowder particles in our noses). Fallas 2021 really wasn’t all that long ago — because of the pandemic, it was celebrated in September instead of March.
Rural Street Art in Fanzara
The few hours we spent in Fanzara were wonderful; street-art spotting is a lot of fun, and there were both huge murals that you couldn’t miss, as well as more subtle works of art that almost completely blend in.
Fireworks for the Opening Ceremony of the Ninot Exhibition for Fallas 2022
I always wanted to see fireworks at Calatrava’s City of Arts and Sciences in Valencia, imagining how spectacular they must look against the futurist architecture. Turns out, my imagination was spot-on; the fireworks which celebrating the opening of this year’s Ninot Exhibition looked just as breathtaking as I had hoped.
Stockholm 2010, Part II: Other Sides of the City
The most common depiction of Stockholm is of old brick buildings, cobblestone streets, bridges, and water. Quaint, old-world Nordic realness. And that’s definitely true! The city is full of the types of typical images you might associate with the old world (just look at the first set of photos we published, to understand what I…
Stockholm 2010, Part I: Summer in the City
2010 was a big year for us, as that’s the year we started traveling around the world For 91 Days at a time. But before relocating to Oviedo, our first destination, I had been hired to take pictures at a conference in Stockholm, and also get some shots of the city.
Unpublished Photos of Oviedo and Asturias
2010 was a big year for us. That was the year, we sold almost everything that we owned, and put the rest in storage, with the giddy proposition of traveling the world non-stop, 91 days at a time.
