The ancient European city carved in stone.

Located in Southern Italy, Sassi di Matera may be ancient, but the city remains a bustling tourist destination to this day.

With a history that dates back over 10,000 years, Matera is believed to be one of the oldest continually inhabited settlements in the world.

If parts of Matera look familiar to you, that’s because the scenery has often been used by filmmakers as the setting for ancient Jerusalem in biblical films since the 1950s.

Over the course of its history, Matera has been occupied by Greeks, Romans, Longobards, Byzantines, Saracens, Swabians, Angevins, Aragonese, and Bourbons.

​​In 1993, Sassi di Matera was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Bushfire season.

This photo was taken at Canadian Bay beach near Melbourne, Australia.

Every year Australia experiences intense Bushfires. And when the wind hits the smoke it can create a very eery haze.

A celebration.

I took this photo in June of 2011 in Washington Square Park, New York City.

It was immediately following the annual Dyke March.

More importantly, it was the day after the state of New York legalised same-sex mariage.

I had just moved to the city a couple of weeks earlier. And it was the beginning of a love affair with the city that never sleeps.

C'était juste après la “Dyke March” annuelle.

Plus important encore, c'était le lendemain de la légalisation du mariage homosexuel à New York.
