Running since 2015

Running has been my sport since 2015. I lace up my shoes anywhere my travels take me. From the NYC city streets to dirt roads in Marrakech to beach runs in Barcelona.

In 2024, I completed my first marathon in 4:06:59 — a challenging but unforgettable experience. Over the years, I’ve pushed myself on shorter distances too, with a personal best of 1:43:07 in the half-marathon. I share the roads I’ve run, the lessons I’ve learned, and the joy that comes with every step in my annual run log and through blog posts.

Taking pictures since 1994

My passion for photography started at age 16 and was sparked six to seven years earlier by the magic of my father’s photography darkroom in the mid-eighties.

Since then, I’ve explored analog and digital photography, always drawn to how a single image can tell a story or capture a moment.

Nowadays, I mostly shoot during family holidays and work travels. Whether with my iPhone, the pocketable Ricoh GR IIIx, or my Canon EOS R6 Mark II, I aim to document what I see and how it felt to be there.
