Geoff Chandler · A personal site

Mountains on my mind. Sand in almost everything.

I run a small marketing company from southern Spain, travel by van when I can, and photograph whatever makes me stop. This is where all of that lives.

Picos de Europa. That's me, small, for scale.

01 · Who this is

I left a corporate job, put my things in storage and bought a one-way ticket to Spain. I never quite got around to going back.

This isn't a résumé or a portfolio. It's a home base: what I'm working on, where I've been, and the photos I took along the way. In Málaga they call me El Yankee Boquerón: the American who stayed long enough to become a local. (Boquerones are the little anchovies Málaga is famous for, and what people from here get called.)

Things that made me stop

A hobby, not a job. Pick a title to see the frame.

All the photos
A green valley leading up to snow-dusted peaks A flock of flamingos in flight against a dusk sky A shepherd walking with his flock below a rocky hillside A stream tumbling over mossy boulders A city and its harbour seen from a pine-covered hill Orange tent pitched on snow below white peaks
Sierra Nevada, Spain

Stories, occasionally

I write when there is something worth writing about. So, rarely.
