Open van doors looking out over the water in Acadia National Park, with a laptop showing the Belgium vs USA 2026 World Cup game.
Camping in Acadia, on the coast of Maine, the sun was starting to set just as Belgium played the USA in the 2026 World Cup. So we fired up Starlink and watched from the van. All day, friends kept texting to ask who I was rooting for. Belgium, of course. After the final whistle, the congratulations started coming in.

America turned 250, and we watched the Fourth of July fireworks from the beach in Bar Harbor, a fun town on the coast of Maine. The beach was packed, boats were anchored across the harbor, and whenever the fireworks flashed, the whole beach appeared for a second, full of people.

Foo Fighters in Liverpool, UK. Loud and unforgettable.
A homemade pizza is being slid into a smoking outdoor pizza oven.
Second time using the pizza oven, and at 500°C, it's equal parts fun and chaos. Four pizzas later, we're slowly getting the hang of it.

Debbie gave Nico a Father's Day gift at a summer barbecue. One of those small happy moments I'm glad I photographed.

Stone monument beneath live oaks covered in Spanish moss at a cemetery.
We walked through Bonaventure Cemetery in Savannah, Georgia, beneath old live oaks covered in Spanish moss. It was peaceful and uniquely beautiful.
A woman inspecting the A/C unit on the roof of a van at a wooded campsite.
Vanessa climbed onto the roof of our van to inspect the A/C. Condensation had leaked inside and fried the circuit board.
A red neon sign reading 'Mono no aware' on a dark wood wall above an empty restaurant table.
My 98-year-old Oma has been in the hospital for over a week, and she's been on my mind a lot. At a Japanese restaurant in Charleston, I asked ChatGPT to translate this sign. The characters spell 'Mono no aware', a Japanese phrase for the gentle sadness of impermanence. It felt unexpectedly fitting.
A woman reclines in a camp chair beside a fire pit at sunset with a camper van parked behind her.
We camped on Cedar Island, North Carolina, at a quiet and remote campsite near the water.
A woman behind a camper van grilling food near sandy dunes.
We camped in the dunes at Assateague State Park, famous for its wild horses. The ocean wind was so strong that we had to grill behind the van just to get the grill hot enough.

Took the van to Long Island on the Cross Sound Ferry.
A man and a boy play chess, the boy leaning forward in concentration as the man moves a piece.
During Easter break, the boys were off from school, so we organized a "chess camp" at our house. I invited my chess coach to join us for three days, and we played a lot of chess. Some days more than eight hours. We all loved it, and I'm hoping it becomes a father-son activity for years to come.
Standing stone at Stonehenge with the Heel Stone in the foreground, viewed from within the monument.
Stonehenge has stood here for over 4,000 years, built by Neolithic communities. At midsummer, the sun rises in line with the stones and the Heel Stone. Standing here, you think about the generations of people who stood here before.
Road sign warning of tank crossings in a grassy landscape.
One of the strangest road signs I've ever seen.
A lit butcher shop window at dusk, with a woman waiting on the street beside a historic church.
I stopped at a butcher's window for a quick photo. She came back to see what was taking so long. Every photographer knows this moment.
A food truck parked beside Bath Abbey, serving doner, burgers, and chips to a small crowd at dusk.
Bath Abbey has stood here for over 1,300 years and food has been served in its shadow for centuries.
