Cortina d’Ampezzo lies nestled in the heart of the Dolomites — best known for hosting the 1956 Winter Olympics, and later, James Bond in For Your Eyes Only (1981).
I first came here with my parents in the early 1970s. I had memories of a quaint South Tyrolean village that I longed to revisit. That’s why the second stop on my journey took me to Cortina.
Choosing the right photo gear is never easy — especially when travelling by motorcycle.
Here’s what I packed in my photo bag for this trip through Italy. Just enough to capture the beauty along the way.
This year, I set myself a quiet challenge: return to the country of my grandfather. To make it simple — and meaningful — I decided to travel there by motorcycle. Nearly 2,500 km across Bavaria, the Tyrol, the Dolomites and Friuli on my Triumph Bonneville, retracing my childhood memories and reaching the house where my grandfather was born.
