Where should we go next?
A photograph can begin a story. If you have a place, project or idea in mind, I’d love to hear where it could lead.

Do you use generative AI in your work, whether in Lightroom or Photoshop?INTELLIGENCE / WORKFLOW
Not at all in Lightroom; you don’t need AI for removing blemishes. In Photoshop, I use it minimally (only for local adjustments if the Smart Eraser fails). My photos are generally 99.99% faithful to the original in terms of content.
Where do you buy cheap airline tickets?TRAVEL / FLIGHTS
I use SkyScanner to get a general idea of availability and approximate prices; on rare occasions, I use Google Flights. Since the pandemic, I’ve been avoiding all resellers-especially the scammers at etraveligroup.com-and I generally trust the airlines directly (these resellers work fine until something goes wrong-and once it does, you’re completely out of luck-it’s a buy-and-run system). We have plenty of sources in Czechia for tips for cheap flights: HonzovyLetenky, CestujLevně, Akční letenky, Pelikán, and others... I avoid long layovers; I’d rather pay an extra thousand to avoid having to sit around for 7 hours during a layover or switch airports.
Which country did you like the most?TRAVEL / RANKING
Let’s start by saying that every country has something to offer... blah blah... but Samoa. Hands down, Samoa. Maybe I just got lucky and was in the right place at the right time, but that place was an absolute blast. Greenland is amazing, too-you’ll find yourself staring at something as stupidly simple as a glacier all day long and not care one bit. As for the third spot, I’m still thinking about it. New Zealand is in a category of its own; I was lucky enough to spend four years of my life there, which turned NZ into a second home rather than an expedition destination. Different strokes for different kinds of folks, sure, so all that blah... blah... is true, but it doesn't change the fact that Samoa is simply top-tier.
