Every weed is a flower, or so I think. Dublin in summer is covered with this particular kind of wild flower growing out of stone walls, by footpaths, literally everywhere. I don’t know what is the name of the exact species of plant but it comes in 3 different colors – pink, red and white. […]
This winter was as any other winter in Ireland damp, cold and rainy. We were lucky to have our cozy apartment and our jobs and everything that kept life as comfortable as possible for the season. However the Irish government had decided to wreck our heads and make us feel bad about a life that […]
We are in the middle of the second lockdown for this winter, which is in stark contrast to the warm and cheerful atmosphere before the holidays. With the light dying early I didn’t manage to take many pictures of the city before Christmas, but as always it was a really pretty. As we are stuck […]
I live not in myself, but I become Portion of that around me; and to me High mountains are a feeling, but the hum of human cities torture. Lord Byron This quote from Lord Byron really captures the feelings I experienced this summer. Spending more than three months in the countryside, I did become a […]
A city that outdistances man’s walking powers is a trap for man. Arnold Joseph Toynbee I am lucky to be living in a city, which is very walkable. Dublin is a big city, but it does not feel like a concrete jungle. A huge part of it has remained unchanged for centuries, so it doesn’t […]
The lockdown has left the city centre of Dublin very peaceful the past couple of months. This made me notice a hidden world – the world of urban wildlife and plants. We live right next to the park of Dublin City Council and on top of their parking garages they have let wildflowers and grass […]
It is lashing rain outside and it is freezing cold. This is how November has started and as cosy it is to sit in my apartment in Dublin city and look out the window, I prefer to go back to memories of warmer times. So I invite you to enjoy some beach photos that I […]
There are songs that come free from the blue-eyed grass, from the dust of a thousand country roads. This is one of them. Robert James Waller, The Bridges of Madison County I love country roads, especially the ones who take me home… This country road is one of my favourite to walk, it is near my […]

May you never forget what is worth remembering, nor ever remember what is best forgotten. Irish Blessing I have always loved the time spent by the sea in Ireland, being near the water is always so peaceful and so enchanting. the The fierceness of the Atlantic Ocean especially, has always been so captivating for me.

“Dublin is a city where there’s familiarity without friendship, loneliness without solitude” Brendan Behan I have always loved the rugged beauty of Dublin. There is a lot of charm in the old part of the city and a lot of warmth in the old brick buildings. Dublin has a lot of character and for a big […]

Freedom is the oxygen of the soul. Moshe Dayan I am living through the third lockdown in a row in Ireland, since the beginning of the pandemic. It is needless to say that at this stage it just feels like a bad deja vu. What makes it especially hard is the 5 km range that […]
I have decided to share a few more winter shots from my time in Bulgaria this winter. All these photos were taken before the snow arrived, which is when I ran out of film. At the time all stocks of film in country seemed to have run out and I couldn’t even order online. So […]
The color of springtime is in the flowers, the color of winter is in the imagination. Terri Guillemets I always had a difficult relationship with winter. I have always been prone to depression during this time of year and it seems like difficult times always occurred in winter. I have had my fair share of […]

I went back to Ireland after the long summer in Bulgaria and the two months until Christmas went by very quickly. I developed 6 films with pictures from the summer, but I somehow forgot to share them in the blog. Now a couple days after Christmas it is a bit late to share summer images, […]

Ever since I came back to Bulgaria, I have been experiencing a connection with the land. There is so much that grows here and even around our house there are many fruit trees. We also have some raspberry bushes, so I enjoyed picking my own fresh raspberries. I have been working on a lot of […]
Today I received the scans from the second film I shot at Ambaritsa hut. The film is Kodak Gold, as usual, but as I am using a lab here in Bulgaria, the colours of the scans are a bit different from the ones I usually get in Ireland. I guess this is the beauty of […]
