We take photos as a return ticket to a moment otherwise gone. Katie Thurmes Summer is best as a distant memory. It is best kept as a memory you can revisit, without the constraints of high temperatures and sweating. Summer images feel terribly convenient to consume on a freezing and wet November day, especially when […]
If we could be reborn wherever we chose, how crowded Rome would be. Francine Prose Rome is often called the Eternal City. We spent 3 nights there on a week-long trip in Italy in mid June. Our days in Rome were mere moments of eternity, moments the city will quickly forget but we will always […]
I love visiting places that are not famous. There are so many beautiful places and towns around the world that are off the beaten path and visiting them is a much more personal experience. You get to truly feel a sense of discovery, which is hard to get when you are surrounded by hoards of […]
I have completely let go of the idea of posting images seasonally. I somehow never make it on time to post film images that match the season outside, but maybe this timeliness we are used to with digital images is not of such a great value after all. This is why I continue with sharing […]
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. […]

“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 […]
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 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, […]
