This is Burano Too Burano doing what Burano does best, arguing with itself in colour and somehow winning. Two walls, one street, zero compromise. Geometry, shutters, and that little red hydrant pretending it planned this all along. Leica, because sometimes you just want to let colour speak without interrupting it.

Soft light, quiet gestures, and a small choreography of faith. At Madonna della Salute, candles are not symbols, they are actions, lit one by one, without spectacle, without hurry. Venice teaches this kind of patience very well. Leica M6, Fuji FP4 125 #LeicaM6 #LeicaFilm #LeicaPhotography #Filmisnotdead #BlackAndWhiteFilm #FP4 #IlfordFP4 #35mmFilm #FilmPhotography

We grow up thinking we can control time, but most days it feels like time controls us. We are taught that it is a straight line. Sixty seconds, sixty minutes, twenty four hours, tidy boxes on a calendar. All very official, all very artificial. The truth is different. Time stretches and shrinks. Not because it lives outside us, but because it moves through our awareness. When we are doing something we love, time disappears. When we are stressed, it drags its feet. Same clock, completely different universe. Maybe the real trick is not to manage time, but to notice how we travel through it.

Soft winter light, steady breath, and one calm pause in the woods captured with my Leica. Moments like this remind me why patience always pays off. #LeicaPhotography #LeicaM #LeicaLovers #WildlifePhotography #NatureLovers #WinterLight #MonochromeMagic #FineArtPhotography #Deer #NaturePortrait #OutdoorLife

Two nuns observe a service at the Basilica di Santa Maria della Salute in Venice, framed by the baroque arches and marble floor of the historic church, Italy.

Nothing moves out here in winter, not even time. Leica loves this weather.
