World Tour - Part 1 - San Francisco to Miami

This is a short video journal of my 2023 World tour, travelling once around the world, from Brisbane, Australia, to the USA, then Europe, and back home via Asia.

My first stop after a very long flight is San Francisco, then onto a much shorter flight to Florida, visiting Tampa, Kennedy Space Center and Miami.

As a professional photographer, I obviously travel with a lot of camera gear and love the look I can create with the various tools at my disposal. Different cameras, different lenses, tripods, gimbals, "just" the right tool for the job. This all comes with a drawback: Flexibility, heavy lifting and frequent back pain. But leaving all the "special sauce" behind? Well, I challenged myself ONLY to use my phone during my entire trip, handheld, and still create beautiful "cinematic" images.

Of course, the mentioned back pain couldn't be completely avoided. For my jobs, I still carry all the equipment. For everything else (and every clip in this first video), however, I exclusively used my old but trusty iPhone 12 Pro.

My travel continues in the next episode, leaving Florida and flying up north to the Big Apple, New York, then to Europe, and eventually back home via Asia.
