    Rain falls quietly on the old stone bridge in Qibao, as the figure under the umbrella becomes part of the story of the place. The droplets draw lines on the umbrella’s surface, each one marking time, memory, and a quiet persistence. I’ve always been drawn to rain—not just the way it transforms the landscape, but…

    The passage reflects on our relationship with time, transitioning from viewing it as a companion to recognizing its fleeting nature. As we grow, we crave more time, often measuring it against our achievements. Ultimately, it emphasizes the importance of living in the present and appreciating existence rather than longing for the past.

    After a journey that began nearly 24 hours ago, I find myself back home in Düsseldorf, embracing this moment of quiet reflection. Honoring my commitment to this daily blog, I write in a state of jet lag—a strange, dreamlike condition that feels suspended between worlds. Air travel, when you think about it, is an unnatural…

    There is a certain magic that comes alive when the human presence enters the frame of a photograph. It is as if the image transforms from a static depiction of place to a living, breathing moment. This connection between humanity and architecture, light, or space adds layers of meaning. In these images, the lone figures…

    It’s time to write my blog before the time runs out. At some point during human history someone felt the need to start recording time. It was no longer enough to just exist and react to the elements in nature, but some kind of adherence to the changes in the earth’s trajectory and rotation needed…

    Upon first arriving in Istanbul, you are overwhelmed with the sheer amount of visual stimuli and with the unusual that makes the city what it is. Magnificent architecture, unique sounds and smells of its exotic cuisine and spices, the water ways surrounding it, and mostly the birds. The seagulls and pigeons are everywhere, flying, fishing,…

    It rained most of the day today In Istanbul. Rain has this way of forcing it’s mood on you, doesn’t it? There is a sense of containment and going inwards, where if you had the choice, you would curl indoors with a book or bake cookies. I love rain photography, when reflection, rain drops and…

    This year we have all lived to some extent the opening words of ‘Tale of two cities’, haven’t we? Upheaval, breakdown of old systems, pandemic, loss, economic collapse, social and physical isolation, poverty, fear, uncertainty, extreme weather, unstable leadership and so much more… Yet, somehow, something extremely bright filters through our planet at this time,…
