Anyone else feeling really apathetic about posting to IG lately? I used to get so excited to share here. I used to spend all day waiting for my usual posting time. Today, I realized it was a week since the last time I shared. And, it's not been for a lack of images, either. It's definitely not been for a lack of love with photography, I feel like I've never been happier as a photographer. But yet, apathy with Instagram. Anyways, here's a picture of a cat. #BvSGreece (at Oía Santorini, Greece) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnmQqrIHJa3/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1vl8z67kbip2b

I'm not sure I can properly explained how photogenic the island of Naxos is. I'm not sure any of these other Greek islands will to it for me. #BvSGreece #Naxos (at Náxos) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnPJqWanDwQ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1jypvmwhbadv4

I've been asked a lot to make some of my images available for download to use as a background wallpaper for phone and desktop. So, here it is! I posted a phone and desktop version of this image to my blog today. You can download one if you'd like! Obvs no charge, too.

Anything better than a morning like this? The lighthouse in Chaniá getting a morning kiss from the sunrise. #BvSGreece (at Chaniá, Greece) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bm-rrb8HfA0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1tpw5vvmuzgnz

Day 2 out trying to shoot product images for @sandiskeurope. I kind of ran with the idea of "I have the best office in the world." But, I also don't want to glorify this idea too much. Yes, I have the best office in the world. But that doesn't mean we work on the beach or at cafes with epic views every day. Often, we're working in run down hotels, or bumpy buses. I remember early in my career sleeping in a shipping crate in West Africa surrounded by 30 other people and needing to open up my laptop and get some work done. Travel bloggers - myself included - have made a bad habit of glorifying this lifestyle. Yes, it is amazing. Yes, I'm happy to have a new office every week. Yes, I love it - even the struggles. But, just know that for every epic post of a view point with a laptop open and the world "today's office" inscibed, there are likely 100 other days where we battled conditions. And, you know what? Epic view or run down hotel room, I'm living my dream and as long as that's the case, I'll take either one. #BvSGreece #speeduptheflow (at Crete)

Day 3 in Crete... I'm getting used to life in Crete, and finding it much more "liveable" than I expected. I'm falling into a pretty healthy routine of: sunrise shoot, gym, eat, coffee, eat, coffee, coffee. Every day I've gone out to take images the light has cooperated. Tropical skies over incredible seas. It's hot, though. And though the first couple days I was on the verge of melting, I'm growing to love it. And honestly, is there anything better than going out to take pictures in flip flops and shorts? These images are from the vlog that's going up in a couple hours.
