Travel, Photography & Creative Fuel from the Road

 

Hi Everyone,

Thanks for sticking with me—I've been a bit quieter than usual lately, but for good reason. I'm refreshing the newsletter with a brand-new format that reflects the things I’m most passionate about: photography, travel, tech, and great reads.

It was a lot of fun to give a photography Presentation on “The Magic of Italy in Photos” at the Italian Museum of Washington DC.

I’m excited to share more consistently, and I think you’ll really enjoy what’s coming next.

Thanks for the support!

Vito

Photography-Technology Tip

 
  • Traveling with large lens can be a big pain. On my recent trip to India, I brought some of my Prime Lens that are very heavy. So, I was super happy to find the new Think Tank Airport Roller Derby V2.0. What I love about his bag is that it has 4 wheels and holds all my camera gear. I then carry a backpack on top of it with other camera gear. But the big advantage is that I am rolling the bag across the airport.

  • Charging Cables one of the best charging cables I have found is the Rolling Square inCharge XL 6-in-1 Multi Charging Cable with 100W Ultra-Fast Charging Power, Portable USB and USB-C Cable, 6.5 Ft/2m, Urban Black. This cable integrates six different charging connectors, including USB-A, USB-C, Lightning, and Micro USB. This ensures compatibility with a wide range of devices, from smartphones and tablets to laptops and cameras, eliminating the need to carry multiple cables.​

What I’m Reading

 

This month, I’m leaning into creativity and grit:

  • Leonardo di Vinci by by Walter Isaacson —a fascinating read of one of the most interesting persons that ever lived.

  • Agent in Place by Mark Greaney —if you like Spy books this is an amazing series
