Joshua Tree National Park by John Lazo

Near the end of February, my sister and I spent a weekend camping in Joshua Tree National Park. The weekend had excellent weather (lows in the upper 30s and highs in the low 60s). It was genuinely refreshing to be outside, camping in the desert. Some of my favorite images from the weekend are below. The pictures were created using a Canon EOS R5 with a 15-35mm or 70-200mm lens, and edited in Adobe Lightroom Classic.

Pinnacles National Park by John Lazo

In December 2023, I spent the better part of a week in Pinnacles National Park with my girlfriend. It was a bit rainy, but we stayed relatively dry and explored most of the park. Some of the hikes were truly excellent. I hope you enjoy my favorite images from the trip. The pictures were created using a Canon R5 and a 15-35mm, 24-70mm, 70-200mm, or 400mm lens. All the photos were edited in Adobe Lightroom Classic.

Europe Landscapes by John Lazo

This past summer I spent a month in Europe with my sister traveling to Madrid, Spain, Barcelona, Spain, Paris, France, Berlin, Germany, Herisau, Switzerland, Venice, Italy, and Rome, Italy. Below are some of my favorite landscape photographs from my time there. Personally, Madrid, Paris, and Berlin were especially memorable. That said, great food was abound and experiencing a taste of the cultures was an incredible experience in each location we visited.

Berkeley, California by John Lazo

Over the past several months, I completed a master’s degree at UC Berkeley. During that time I developed a running collection of photographs from Berkeley, California. Berkeley gave me so much in my short time there, and I’m grateful for the experience. I fell in love with the weather, the energy…I just loved it.

Death Valley National Park by John Lazo

Over spring break I camped in Death Valley National Park for four nights. The park was one of the largest I’ve been to (only Yellowstone was comparable in size). It was great to get outside and explore the desert. I even experienced some snowfall at the higher elevations, which was pretty incredible. Below are some of my favorite photos from the trip. All the pictures were made on a Canon R5 using either an RF 15-35mm lens or an EF 70-200 mm lens. These were all edited in Adobe Lightroom Classic.
