One of his latest trips took him to Chile where he captured the rugged valleys and meandering streams of Cajon del Maipo.

Caption: “One of the first things I noticed after arriving at Santiago airport was a photographic display panel accompanied by a sentence stating ‘Chile is a country of contrasts’. Immediately, I thought of the colors I could shoot, but what I did not realize is that those words could also be a warning, like ‘enjoy in moderation’."

Caption: "The temperature dropped sharply and icy wind that raised dust bordered on unbearable as we walked."
