What would you take with you? / October 12, 2015 by Adrian Galli

Reading this article in TIME made me think about, one, how good we have it in much of the western world and, two, what would I carry with me if this happened tomorrow; if I were a refugee.

Showing what the people escaping Syria have led, the stories told by these photos are both sad and powerful. Some of the people only have one thing to hold onto. Some have more but overall, they have almost nothing but what they do have, they truly value.

What would you take?

I've walk by this spot hundreds of times... / October 4, 2015 by Adrian Galli

The Best Camera... / September 26, 2015 by Adrian Galli

... is the one you have with you.

I don't believe that a "better" camera takes better pictures. The technical functionality might be better among one versus another but the photographer is who visualizes the photo, sees the unseen, and decides the timing of the moment.

Yesterday, the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus were released. With a new camera and Live Photos, among other great features, my always-handy-camera is even better but I'm more curious about how myself and other photographers use their creativity with this new camera and Live Photos.

This morning, I walked down Lake Michigan's shore and played with this next generation of iPhone. No doubt I have gotten many great photos with my iPhones of the past but I always appreciate new features and better technology.

While I can't share my Live Photos yet, I hope to see Squarespace galleries support it soon. In the meantime, please enjoy a few of my favorite photos from my lakeshore walk.
