The best decision I’ve made in my life was marrying the Catalan girl next door with whom I shared an epic roof deck in Manhattan. In those 14 years since we met, married, and had children, I’ve had the privilege to visit one of the most beautiful and cultural cities in the world on a regular basis, camera in hand. Breathtaking architecture of past and present, daily life in the streets, traditions that seem out of a dream, food that makes my mouth water just thinking about, all while building decades-long friendships; please enjoy a taste of my experiences over the years as I dip into my Barcelona archives for for German Village Magazine.
