Right after we arrived in Budapest and checked into the Ritz-Carlton there (they were hosting my European tour), we went up to the roof for a drone flight! It always feels kind of “naughty” to go up on the roof of a building, but we had the security guards with us to make sure nothing too terrible happened. I think the security guards actually like these little missions because they get to do something a bit different. I also usually let them fly the quadcopter a little bit too… everyone loves flying a drone! Anyway, this photo is a panorama of several different shots taken across this beautiful city.
You’ll see some of the footage of Hans and his band when they join us for the walk! 🙂
This was a really fun night! We started out by getting invited to Hans Zimmer’s concert in Budapest, Hungary. My crew from the road trip had just invited them out to the photowalk a few days before so they returned the invite. Then, after an eye-wateringly good concert, we ended up walking through this hotel to get to the rooftop bar, and Hans and his whole band was eating in the lobby! What a small world!
Here’s a video I made about Budapest and our photo walk while I was there. Enjoy!
There are different old Turkish baths all over Budapest. This particular one had about seven different pools, and this was the most ornate. I’m not 100% sure, but I think the roof can partially retract too. I can imagine that a century earlier it would have probably been the coolest place to hang out in town. Underneath this pool, there are a few other hot baths… some of which were way too hot for me.
If you’re a Passport Member then today you get to see a little behind-the-scenes in Budapest when Hans Zimmer joined my little photo walk. What a great time! Below, I’ll add a few photos from Budapest including one from Hans’ concert there.
And now, video time…
Here’s a new video you haven’t seen before! This shows some of the behind-the-scenes when I was in Budapest when we were doing the 10-city tour across Europe. You’ll also see a bit from our photo walk when Hans Zimmer showed up with his whole band! 🙂
Hi Friends!!! I’ll see you Wednesday night at 7:30 PM just outside of Center Camp for my 10th Annual Burning Man Photowalk! This event is great if you’re totally new to photography or like mega-advanced. There’s lots of inspiration… tips… tricks… advice… philosophy… hugs… love… all that good stuff! 🙂
We’ll start off from Center Camp and then end up at the Pink Heart camp where my friend Curtis Simmons is getting playa-married. After that, we’ll end up back at my camp (Camp Walter) around 9:30 or 10 PM where we are hosting a speakeasy. Join us for that too!
P.S. Here’s my Burning Man Survival Guide.
Check out this cool video that highlights a lot of the art that is there on the playa.
There’s a lot of bad stuff on Netflix. There’s a lot of GOOD stuff too… I should put together my recommendation list… I’m very picky. But one thing is definitely the Hans Zimmer concert. Check that out and make sure you have good speakers or earphones! 🙂
Here’s a photo I took before the Hans Zimmer concert while I was getting my camera ready for action. I had never shot a concert before, but I had a feeling I should use my Leica lenses… so I whipped out my 35mm F/1.4 and took some warm-up photos… this is one I took of Tane and Olya.

You can watch his concert on Netflix. I think you’ll absolutely love it, and you’ll recognize many of his songs from various movies.
I used this photo in a special book I made for Hans and his team. I actually only made one book… so it’s a rather limited edition!
I was thrilled to go see two of Hans Zimmer’s concerts in Europe. This was my very first one, and I was really overwhelmed! Actually, my camera and stuff was confiscated by security on the way in, which was a real bummer. I hate to call in favors, but I sent a note to Hans’ team, and they were able to get my goodies during the intermission. So that allowed me to get some photos during the second half of the performance.
I recently re-watched this video, and it’s pretty good! I’m always a bit hard on myself. Also, for this one, Hans Zimmer was in the crowd, so I was a little nervous! I had to give a bunch of little public speeches and I didn’t want him to think I was an idiot. I mean, I am, kinda, but I didn’t want him to think it, so it made me extra-nervous.
As far as I can tell, every night in Budapest is pretty much like this! It seems to be a very young city; well, at least that is who I notice out most of the day. This is one of the central locations here. It’s sort of a public illuminated bath area across from the Ritz-Carlton. Well, this is not really a bath because you’re not supposed to get inside, but it’s always surrounded by a bunch of happy people drinking wine and having snacks. We passed it almost every night on the way back home.
