I'm about an hour short on sleep on average for the past two years. No wonder I'm tired.

Time to wrap it up and sit with my editing work.

Thank you for following along with my 2025 USA trip. Maybe we'll do a part two later this year.

For now I'm mostly excited to go back home though. 😮‍💨

Went to Peak Lake and stopped for a coffee on the way.

Saw this on my evening ride last night. Boise is kinda neat so far.

Walked alongside the Boise river today. Ate some pizza and played with the dog.

Waking up in Boise is very different from NYC.

Doing some work before I head out to explore.

The views from the sky are quite nice today, thankfully.

Not a bad score for a first time in NYC though.

Had the WORST experience at JFK when going through TSA and making my way around but ended on a high note in the Delta Sky Lounge.

4/10 will not recommend. Points only for the lounge.

Onto BOISE!

At a block party in northern Manhattan.

Got my 10K steps in on a cup of complimentary coffee from the hotel and the Caesar salad from last night.

All while freaking out about seeing everything in real life.

I hate and love this place at the same time.

The music is turned UP, and everybody's loud. Insane. But fun?

Comfy enough on seat 43B. No window to take photos out of though, unfortunately, but you can't win them all.

Hi all, welcome to my USA trip 2025. We're going from AMS to NYC, BOI, PDX & back to AMS. The trip takes 14 days.

It's a beautiful morning in AMS and the same is predicted for NYC.

Flying to New York tomorrow. Bringing the 18mm and the 50mm on the X-Pro3. And the X100V. Always the X100V.

You know what? Maybe I can make an effort to post more updates during the trip. Yeah, like a little liveblog. That's fun I think.

I'm launching a weekly newsletter!

THE OUTLINE
Every week, I take one of my photographs. I ask ChatGPT to describe what it sees in that image. Then I use that description to generate a new image using AI. No tweaks. One try. An ongoing experiment.

Join TODAY, get your first story on Wednesday.
