A quiet walk, a camera, and an attempt to stay with what is without judgment or aversion— using photography as a way to practice honest self-expression.

After years of shooting digital, I recently picked up a roll of film for the first time as an adult and loaded into a beautiful Hasselblad 500CM. What began as simple curiosity quickly became a humbling and fascinating experience. From the tactile ritual of loading 120 film to the uncertainty of waiting for the results, this first roll reminded me that photography is as much about patience and imperfection as it is about images.

On a misty November day, I walked the Rilke Trail along the cliffs of Duino, overlooking the Adriatic Sea. While I also shot a roll of film that day, this post focuses on the digital side — quiet moments, small details, and the shifting light that made the trail so captivating.

Autumn transforms the forest floor into a world of hidden beauty, where mushrooms rise through moss and light filters softly through the trees. In this post, I share my favorite photos from the season along with a few simple tips for capturing their delicate forms, subtle colors, and quiet charm.

After my first month with the Ricoh GR IIIx, I’ve gathered a selection of favorite images. Everyday moments, light, color, and perspective — exactly the kind of shooting this pocket camera was made for.

Is the Ricoh GR IIIx still worth it in 2025? After my first thousand photos, I share what I loved, what could be improved, and the accessories that make it shine.

The more often you carry a camera, the more you see. In this post, I share why taking more photos matters, how it shifts the way you notice everyday life, and how small moments can turn into meaningful images.
