Help a brother out fellow #gamedev or even #AndroidGamers?
I'm trying to see if this game concept is fun before I sink more time into it.

Founders don’t usually lack ideas. They struggle with how those ideas come across. I help refine that #voice so the best thinking gets heard. I’m opening space to work with one or two #founders this month. Reach out if that’s you.

A metal man holding up a tree in Recoleta, Buenos Aires. The cool part?the guy is welded out of scrap metal parts. And he actually has the weight of the tree on his shoulders! #photography #buenosaires #travel #dailyinspiration

Clear water, smooth stones, and the kind of quiet that feels earned. Can you guess where this is?

Quiet palms along the Ortoire River mouth by the Atlantic. Manzanilla named for manchineel’s ‘small apples’. Be careful though. The Manchineel will kill you. #dailyinspiration #travelphotography #CaribbeanVibes

Bacolet, Tobago. Shade, sea, and not much else. Which is exactly the point.

Shark Hole, Barbados. No sharks, just a carved-out cove with calm water and coral cliffs. Easy to miss, but so worth the detour!

A driveway near Parlatuvier, Tobago. Just morning light, moss on concrete, and no reason to rush anywhere.

El Misti over Arequipa. It hasn’t erupted in centuries, but it’s still active. Looks calm now.

Midday at Huaca Pucllana. You take a short walk and end up face to face with a pyramid in the middle of Lima. No fanfare, just bricks and time.

Huacachina, Peru. A palm-lined oasis in the middle of the sand. Everyone’s here for the dunes, but this quiet moment was the better view.

Home is where you make it. In less than two months, I'll be making somewhere else home. But then I'll miss shots like these.

A quiet fountain in Cusco, Peru. Stopped because I saw alpacas. Even the stone ones have presence.

Somewhere before Salkantay Pass. The air felt thin, the sky felt heavy, and I stopped pretending the mountain owed me anything.

Lima stays grey more often than not. But in Comandante Espinar, early enough in the day, there’s a kind of calm that makes the color stand out. You just have to look for it.

Maracas Lookout, Trinidad. That stretch before the descent, where the sea pulls your attention and the trees frame the edge just right.

Passed the old Usine Ste. Madeleine stack today and felt the whole sugar story press in, factories gone quiet, ghosts still loud. Full reel on how King Sugar reshaped our islands and us. Read on if you’re ready to hear the echoes.

Valencia River, Trinidad. A quiet bend in the trail, filtered light, everything green and gold. You don’t plan these shots — you just catch them.

That’s not a storm, just a sky with too many ideas. Shot this off the coast of St. Lucia.

A quiet mangrove near Mayaro. The water’s darker than you’d expect, and the trees lean just right. One of those places you find by accident.
