The Dog’s Nose Knows
A dog pokes his nose out of a caravan in Santa Cruz. I think he wanted to come play with us as we walked past.
Dawn at the Bar & Grill
As the sun slowly rose over Santa Cruz, I found myself drawn to a quaint restaurant nestled along the beach front. The golden morning rays cast a mesmerizing shadow of a street lamp on the building, while inside, a diligent worker was already busy prepping for the day ahead.
Surfing on the Isar
I had a fantastic time in Munich with my team recently. We explored the city and enjoyed its sights and sounds. But the most surprising and thrilling thing I saw was in the city park. As we walked along a path, I heard a roaring sound of water. I peeked through the trees and saw…
Morocco: A Rooftop Perspective
In February 2013 I was in Morocco with my team for a week. The food was fantastic and we had booked a whole building for our lodgings in Marakesh. From the rooftop, I gazed at the endless sprawl of buildings, interrupted only by the majestic mountains in the horizon. On almost every roof, a satellite…
A Morning Walk in Santa Cruz
Way back in 2013, at the Automattic Grand Meetup, I took an early morning walk along the promenade in Santa Cruz. The sun had already risen, but the world was quiet, and I enjoyed a solitary walk before the day’s work had to be done.

I watch the subway train speed by, feeling a rush of wind and sound. It’s like a flash of light, but I can see the faces of the people inside. They look like they’re in a hurry or a trance. I wonder what their lives are like.
A Room with a View
This barren room overlooking the breathtaking Douro Valley belongs to the Quinta da Roêda vineyard, a hidden gem nestled in the heart of Portugal’s wine country. As you step inside, you’ll notice a quaint wooden table and stools, inviting you to sit and take in the stunning view while enjoying a glass of the vineyard’s…
Get Tsingtao Beer in San Francisco!
Walking down a street in San Francisco and this sign for Tsingtao Beer caught my eye. This was taken in 2007, during an Automattic meetup, which later became known as a Grand Meetup. In 2007, the company was so small, it wasn’t so Grand, but it was Great!
An Angel at Home
An angel hung up their wings when they got home. Madrid, 2017.
Spanish Gentleman
A man dressed in a suit is an unusual sight when all around him are dressed casually.
The Ceiling of the Pantheon
Look straight up from the centre of the Pantheon to see the magnificent ceiling above you.
