As the year comes to a close, I'm looking back at my favourite photos of 2024. From breathtaking natural landscapes to vibrant cities and heartwarming moments with people, my top 20 photos of the year showcase the diversity and beauty of Planet Earth. This year's selection features visuals across four categories: people, nature, cities, and trains, each one telling a unique story that I hope will leave you inspired to explore and preserve our beautiful world. The image below captures the Canadian Pacific Kansas City holiday train, which goes on a seasonal journey to bring holiday spirit across the many communities in Canada and the United States. May the 2025 bring health, joy, prosperity, and peace to your home! 

Last fall, my wife and I went on a camping trip to Everglades National Park. This sprawling wilderness, covering 1.5 million acres in southern Florida, is my happy place where I like to return over and over again. To put the size of Everglades National Park into perspective, it’s roughly the size of the state of Delaware or half the size of the state of New Jersey. 200,000 alligators and 1,000 crocodiles call the Everglades home, as well as the critically endangered Florida panthers. But make no mistake: the park's biggest badass is the mosquito! Those ferocious creatures can eat you alive, even at the end of the rainy season. Fancy to learn about our canoeing journey in the heart of the Everglades?

Inspired by Stefan Draschan's work "Coincidences at Museums," where the author produced brilliant and thought-provoking photographs from accidental matches of visitors’ attire and artwork, I decided to take my camera to Broad Museum in Los Angeles and try to produce something similar. I hope you enjoy this album.

Montreal is in the midst of a transformative infrastructure project, the first of its kind since Expo 67. The Réseau Express Métropolitain (REM), a brand-new light rail system promises to revolutionize transportation in Greater Montreal. I had the chance to ride the first section between downtown Montreal and Brossard just days after its July 2023 opening, and I'm excited to share my experience with you.

Standing among the giant sequoias left a permanent mark on me. These 2,000- to 3,000-year-old natural wonders clearly overshadow humans and all man-made structures. When a massive fire ravaged Sequoia National Park in 2021, I was heartbroken. Upon returning to this place in 2024, witnessing the blackened landscape prompted me to write a story about monster forest fires to raise awareness.

The Wynwood art district in Miami, Florida is famous for its iconic murals and graffiti. It has transformed from a neglected industrial neighbourhood to a vibrant outdoor art exhibit, attracting millions of visitors annually. Wynwood has become a cultural phenomenon that is being replicated across the United States and abroad. Wynwood's impact goes beyond just art, demonstrating the transformative power of creativity and collaboration. If you are in Miami, you have to visit Wynwood regardless of whether you're an art enthusiast, photographer, or simply a curious traveller like me. Its dynamic streets, walls, and even dumpsters invite exploration and inspiration.
