Santiago Calatrava is one of the architects I admire most. I have photographed a few of his office buildings before, and something about the way he takes steel and makes it almost a living organism keeps drawing me back to his work. On my trip to New York, the World Trade Center Station was a […]

The New York Stock Exchange at Wall Street is both an architectural icon and a financial landmark of lower Manhattan. I’ve always been fascinated by economics and investment, so the New York Stock Exchange and Wall Street were a must-visit for me and Daria when we were visiting New York. The NYSE has grown alongside […]

The Statue of Liberty stands proudly on Liberty Island and dominates the New York City skyline from its granite pedestal. However, we rarely get a close-up photograph and some details are easy to overlook from a distance, so of course I wanted to have a closer look and I declared it my mission. Whether viewed […]

Some sites are so iconic and photographed so frequently that it almost seems pointless for me to photograph them; what kind of shot can I get that will be different than all the others? Those places can be daunting, but I like the challenge of seeing a familiar place in a new way, of photographing […]

Sometimes, photographs happen by accident. In fact, many of my favorites happened that way. On a trip to New York City, I made the requisite visit to Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty. I had positioned myself along the rail, as tourists typically do, to get the best views of the Manhattan skyline as […]

The Registry Room at the Ellis Island Immigration Museum is the space where millions of people once began their lives in America, and also what most visitors remember long after they leave the island. I think the Ellis Island Immigration Museum was one of the most impressive museum experiences that I’ve had anywhere in the […]

With some of the oldest towns and settlements in the United States, traveling in New England is a bit like time travel. A drive down one country road takes you to a town built by the whaling industry, while another winding stretch of macadam leads to a simple, white-washed wooden church. One can almost hear […]

I have been to Boston many times and have explored most of its iconic historic sites Faneuil Hall, Custom House, and the Old North Church, to name only a few but there is no place in the city that captures my imagination like its waterfront. It is, after all, a city shaped and defined from […]

Looking north from Killian Court, a visitor to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology is treated to one of the most iconic views of academic life in the United States, and certainly one of the most recognizable in Cambridge the Great Dome. Like all great works of architecture, the Great Dome was designed to make a […]

My most vivid memory of photographing the New York Panorama sunset was from the Rockefeller Center on a rainy day. The rain was on and off, creating ever-changing reflections over the streets below. But I knew the best moment was coming after the rain stopped, when the atmosphere still lingered in the air. That’s when […]

I felt like I was in a scene right out of a postcard as the sun went down on the famous Harvard University Campus in Boston. The huge Harvard University Library towered over the busy campus, and its beautiful front gave people a sense of intellectual power. The Iconic Harvard University: An Icon of Knowledge […]

Fenway Park in Boston is one of the most recognized sports venues in the world. It is also one of the symbols of Boston. So when visiting this city in Massachusetts, we couldn’t miss a game of the local Red Sox team. Fenway Park is located near Kenmore Square in Boston. It was built […]

We admit it – we visited New Haven in the United States to see the famous Yale University. And not just to visit the main university buildings and Yale’s famous library. It was mainly the system of 14 college campuses that fascinated us. The organization of campuses at Yale University When a student is accepted […]

Newport in the Rhodes Islands in the United States is known as a summer resort town with a marina. In the past, Newport was a favourite summer vacation spot, especially for the privileged classes. This is evidenced by the fabulous villas scattered along the waterfront of this seaside town. However, Newport is not only […]

As its name suggests, Portland Breakwater Light is a lighthouse. It is also commonly known as “Bug Light” – a nickname coined by locals who thought its appearance resembled some insect. Regardless of what you call it, Bug Light – or Portland Breakwater Light – is one of Maine’s most iconic landmarks and deserves more […]

As dawn broke over Bretton Woods, the Omni Mount Washington Resort unfolded before me, nestled amidst a golf course of vibrant green. The brilliant white structure, topped with red rooftops, contrasted starkly against the backdrop of the mountains fading into the early morning mist, beneath a serene blue sky. A lone red car meandering towards […]

It was my first trip to the US and there I was, standing under an enormous American flag, looking at the breathtaking Mt. Washington. An exciting adventure I embarked upon, had led me to this awe-inspiring view at the base of the Mt. Washington Auto Road, from the Glen View Café. The Journey Begins Our […]

Dock Square: An Unexpected Quiet Moment in Boston Dock Square in Boston, Massachusetts, captivated me during my visit. It became my launchpad for exploring the city’s vibrant neighbourhoods. I was drawn to the idea of returning under the cloak of twilight. That’s when the city lights cast their magical glow. Contrary to my expectations, capturing […]

Ahoy mateys! Today, we’re going to set sail on a journey through history to explore one of the most famous ships ever to grace the high seas: the USS Constitution. Also known as “Old Ironsides,” the USS Constitution is a wooden-hulled, three-masted heavy frigate of the United States Navy. Launched in 1797, she is one […]

After showing a photo of the MIT yesterday, today we continue with the other education giant from Boston: Harvard University in Cambridge. I felt a big difference when visiting both universities on the same day. Being so closely located to each other in Cambridge, it is no wonder that a rivalry is going on between […]

Do you know why we finally visited the United States? Daria had the chance to study at MIT in Boston / Cambridge, Massachusetts. It’s part of The Lisbon MBA to have an Entrepreneurship class at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Initially, this was planned to take place in 2021. But well. Covid. Daria had her […]

The Custom House in Boston was built by the United States Federal Government as early as 1849. In 1915, they added the clock tower to the neo-classical building. And although the Boston Custom House was moved to a different location, the Custom House Tower still bears the same name. Today, the Clock Tower is the […]

Shortly before Daria started her one-week Entrepreneurship course at MIT in Boston (MA), we spent time exploring the city. On our first day, we just took random streets and let ourselves get lost. At some point, we stumbled upon the Old City Hall, which immediately caught our attention. Boston, the largest city in New England, […]

As you know, I always try to book a hotel with a view. In Manhattan, that was a must for me. Immense gratitude to the Residence Inn New York Manhattan/Central Park that gave us a corner room with which we could not only view Times Square but could also capture this photo of the so-called Billionaires’ Row.
