TRAVELOG | AUGUST 2021 by Karl Magnuson

A few years ago I ran across a photographer who used the blog on her site as a “photo dump” from trips and adventures. I always loved her approach and style, and want to use my blog to attempt the same. I’m constantly buried under 1000s of unedited photos so I’m not sure if I’ll be sequential or consistent but I’ll do my best to share photo sets from time to time. I’ll also primarily share sets from my new-ish travel camera (the Fuji X-Pro3), which has been my favorite tech / gear purchase of 2021. I love the natural film emulations.

Last month I snuck off for a long weekend to Florida to see my college pal Bradford and we went to Everglades National Park (one of three FL National Parks, all of which are new to me), and spent a night down in the Florida Keys. We also splurged a bit and rented a Tesla. I was shocked at how many tall buildings are in Miami, dismayed at the amount of mosquitos, and a little disappointed at the experience of re-visiting Key West, which was dirtier and more touristy than I remember. Which isn’t to say it was a bad time…I loved the road trip talks with Bradford, and rewatching John Q one night.
