Two years ago today, I turned a corner in New York City and saw this. Once the terror subsided, I asked him if I could take a photo. In classic Michael Myers form, he just stood there, so I took that as a yes. Happy Halloween, everyone! 🎃

Cap de Formentor, Mallorca. I love this island so much – the slower pace of life, the friendly locals, the language, the weather, the light, the sea, the mountains, and the food. It’s always been a place that recharges me – a place that balances the scales when life gets complicated. #photography

I got lucky with this one. As I turned a corner I saw him crossing the street. He then stopped, so I had just enough time to turn my camera on and capture the moment. This remains one of my favourite photos, and serves as a nice reminder to take a camera with me whenever I can. #photography

I remember the day I got Half Life. It brought my PC to its knees, but it didn't stop me from playing it. Just last week I was randomly thinking about it, and today it's celebrating its 25th anniversary with a big update. I can't wait to play it on the OLED Steam Deck! half-life.com/en/halflife25/
