“There is no perfection only life” M.K. Photographs from July to December 2020 Writing about this moment is like trying to describe what summer feels like during a very long and cold winter. 15 months of winter… and counting. Warm memories are now so distant it seems pointless, almost cruel to remember.It only keeps getting colder with a […]

Tell her stories
Photo Journals January to June 2020 There’s a little girl I talk to sometimes.She sits across from me, and I tell her about the things I do. She listens, always hungry for stories. To me it’s just life, but to her, it sounds just like a dream. Like the movies she watches alone, and the […]
Like a Rolling Stone
How does it feel? Photographs from September to December 2019 I can see now I always had a fascination for faces and stories. Some of my earliest memories are those of going through albums and boxes of pictures. Sometimes with my mother or father by my side passionately sharing the stories those images evoked in […]
Destination Anywhere
New York, August 2019. “That wasn’t much fun, but I had my mantra, “I’m free,I’m free.” Patti Smith. I can’t think of a greater feeling than walking alone the streets of a city where nobody knows you. That feeling, I think it’s freedom. I went to New York in August 2019 to get a break. […]
A room of one’s own
“There are years that ask questions, and years that answer.” The fear and anticipation of loss can be much more painful than the loss itself.

Los Angeles. March 2019. “I believe in starts. Once you have the start, the rest is inevitable.” Life has turned into a mess, a great kind of a mess. Uncertain times, I can’t predict what’s gonna happen or where this path is taking me and everyone expects me to freak out… but man, I just feel […]
Go your own way
Photo diaries. Melbourne January to March 2019 “19. Nodus Tollens: The realization that the plot of your life doesn’t make sense to you anymore.” It was always my thing.Long walks with music. For as long as I’m walking, I’m free. It takes me somewhere else, a place that exists only in my mind. Walking feels […]
Butterfly
Photos from November-December 2018 “We live everything as it comes, without warning, like an actor going on cold. And what can life be worth if the first rehearsal for life is life itself?” Life-changing moments passing by, so small no one will notice. So short that you couldn’t possibly suspect the importance of it while […]
Living, loving
Photographs from September-October 2018. “It always makes me proud to love the world somehow — hate’s so easy compared.” Everything happened so fast. All mixed together, the good and the bad. October 2018 feels not only distant in the past but like a completely different life. Found myself making decisions that were far away from […]
Almost Ready
Diaries June – September 2018 “… but it’s hard to stay mad, when there’s so much beauty in the world. Sometimes I feel like I’m seeing it all at once, and it’s too much, my heart fills up like a balloon that’s about to burst… And then I remember to relax, and stop trying to […]
