Maxwell Kruger Photography

A few weeks ago between business trips, I visited Alaska for a weekend. It was my first time in Alaska and it was amazing to experience such a beautiful place. We didn’t get to do everything we wanted since we were only there for a weekend, but now I know what to do when I return!

I recently visited New York City for a few days. Here are some of the images I made. The Canon EOS M is proving to be a great travel camera. The quality is great and it’s small enough to fit into my briefcase for everyday use. My only gripe is the autofocus is so slow and causes me to miss a lot of shots. Here’s to hoping the next iteration will be better!

Following in my steps with my 135i European Delivery (video), my friends and I returned to Europe this summer to pick up a 335is. My friend, Chris, decided it was time to upgrade his A6 and come over to the BMW world. We convinced him to go with a 335is and do a guy’s road trip through Europe. The three of us met in the Owner’s Lounge of the BMW Welt, where we would pick up the car and explore Europe. Our plan was to hang out in Munich, visit some friends in Hamburg, check out Porsche in Stuttgart, visit some friends in Freiburg, and head down to southern France for a few days, all while exploring some of Europe’s finest roads. Keep reading to to see what we ended up doing.

I recently returned from a trip to Israel.  I had an amazing time. We swam in the dead sea, spent a night in the desert, climbed Masada, and spent a few days in Jerusalem among many other things.  Overall, it was one of my favorite trips that I’ve ever been on.

Some of my images are below.  You can see the full gallery here.

As a plus, all my photos were geotagged using the Canon GP-E2. You can see the map of where I went here.

I visited Belgium a few weeks ago for work. I didn’t have much time to shoot, but I bought a Canon 7D for the trip so I wouldn’t have to lug around a 1D. Below is a collection of a few shots. The whole gallery can be viewed here.

Got back from California a few months ago, but I’m just getting around to posting the photos.  We visited San Fransisco, Redwoods, and Yosemite.  Overall, it was a great trip and I got to spend time with some old friends I hadn’t seen in a while. You can see my whole album of photos here.

Shot some panoramas in Paris (see gallery). I got a 60″ canvas print for my wall of the Louvre from Artistic Photo Canvas. It looks great (see below). Please let me know if you are interested in prints. E-mail me at maxwell@maxwellkruger.com.
