Far West 2024 Photo Drop

Part of the Far West 2024 feature.

A few days before I departed, I purchased a used FUJIFILM X-T10 camera to try to learn some photography basics and document the trip. The slower pace this afforded as I occasionally stopped to compose a scene was worth it alone.

Here are a few of my favourite photos from my three-week motorcycle adventure through the American west.
