Just published a new travel post from a 3 day jaunt through Portugal back in 2024.

It started as “a quick stop in Lisbon” and escalated into cliffs, castles, and wandering through mystical wells in Sintra.

Back in 2023, I had the opportunity to travel to the Pacific Coast of Costa Rica, after many years of wanting to go. What an amazing place.

Check out all the photos & read about it on my blog: adventuretactician.com/2025/12/03/a...

Just realized we can see the Aurora tonight in Massachusetts. Grabbed my camera and ran out of the door!

Dude congrats! I’m trying to buy the hardcover, but it seems Blurb requires an account to purchase? I ran into a bug and have to hit up their support so I can get in an buy it. Ugh their UX is terrible.

Starfish of the #PNW add some vibrancy to the moody Rialto Beach.

Just spent 2 weeks exploring Oregon & Washington state, including 3 national parks. Got tons of photos to share with y’all. Here’s a few of my favorites. Many more to come!

I don’t really take photos of anything besides nature, but last week I had fun shooting these custom cutting boards my friend made in his shop.

It’s not perfect, but camera sliders are fun!

I thought the same thing until recently.

I live in New Bedford where they’re building these windmills for installation off the coast of MA. been chatting with guys working on these things.

There’s a lot that people aren’t aware of. They each dump millions of gals of chlorinated water out daily.

The photo vs. how I got there.

The old tower looks a lot creepier with a spotlight on it. #photography #fujifilm #milkyway #fatbike #massachusetts #westport #adventure

A few shots from my trip to Hallstatt, Austria a few winters ago. Pictures simply don’t show the depth and magnitude of beauty that exists in this part of the world.

Went out to photograph a lighthouse a sunset today and forgot my tripod. Thankfully I found this rock to balance my camera. In retrospect, this wasn’t very smart, but it was perfectly level. 😂

Merry Christmas to those who celebrate! Keeping an eye out for Santa with this trusty lighthouse.

I like boats, Andy. That’s all I gotta say.

While I absolutely love winter, I love warm evenings on the beach, more.

You may not realize it, but working in a confined space without airflow, Co2 quickly builds up, leading to fatigue and mental cloudiness.

To help, I bought a Co2 monitor. It’s forced me to take more breaks & crack a window more often. Definitely improving my mental dips during the day. #health
