Santa’s Little Helper
Many things change as the years go by, and many things stay the same. Shot on Pixel 6 Pro, black and white filter.
Think, Love, Sleep, Dine
I know I’ve been on a trip with my favorite traveling companion when Google Photos auto-creates a collage like this. Shot on Pixel 6 Pro.
Strange Enchanted Boys
Of all the art we saw in Philadelphia – and we saw somewhere in the kajillions — this one made me want to go to Montmartre the most. Shot on Pixel 6 Pro at the Barnes Foundation.
