Autumn in Szentgyörgyvölgy, in the Őrség. Mist softens the edges of the village, but the green of the fields holds its own. Among the trees and scattered roofs, the church tower gives the eye somewhere to settle. What draws me to this scene is how much remains visible even as the distance disappears. There is enough detail to explore, and enough left unresolved to keep looking. #orseg #hungary

Very happy to be heading back to lovely Nagyrév later this week. I’m working on a photographic writing project here, and I’ve been looking forward to returning ever since my first visit. I’ll keep the details to myself a little longer, while the work takes shape. For now, I’m looking forward to walking these streets again, spending more time with the people I’m getting to know, and seeing what I notice on a second visit. A photograph from the first chapter, with more to come. #nagyrév #leica #photography

Calle dei Albanesi, Venice. Everyone knows the front of the Danieli. The Riva, the lobby, the lagoon view with a price tag. This is the other side. A narrow calle, a stone wall, a single lamp, and the name cut into the lintel. The calle does what Venice does best. It squeezes you into the dark, then opens onto light and water. San Giorgio waits at the end, small and exact. The grand hotels sell the view. The side doors keep the story. #venice #leica #photography #workshop

Notice to my Guests. 😂

The Christmas lights are only part of the picture. In Budapest, a passing tram, reflections on wet streets, and mist-softened buildings can give an evening photograph its character. The interesting decisions are where to stand, what to leave out and whether to hold the movement still or let it become part of the frame. I’m running photography workshops in Budapest this December. We’ll work on reading the light, finding stronger compositions and making deliberate choices as the city changes around us. These photographs hint at the possibilities, though each evening brings its own conditions and opportunities. If you’d like to join me, message me for December dates and workshop details. #budapest #leica #photograhy #workshop

Budapest at dusk has a lovely balance, when the sky still holds its blue and the city lights begin to warm the river. Through the bare branches, traffic crosses the bridge, and reflections gather on the wet streets below. Even in a familiar view, something always makes you linger. If you’d enjoy exploring Budapest with your camera and taking a little more time to notice moments like this, I’d love to have you join me for a photography workshop. You’re welcome to message me for details. #budapest #hungary #leica #photography #Workshops
