Café Culture
There’s something about sipping a morning cappuccino at a Tuscan terrace, in a narrow cobblestone street, watching the town shake off its slumber, that is deeply satisfying. Bar Rossi is a small café in the medieval town of Orbetello. It has a good vantage point overlooking the shops on Corso…
“The Calm Sea” – The story behind this photo

Moments of Silence – Czech Ossuaries in Photography
I stand alone in a darkened room. I absorb the atmosphere of the place. The silence. Reconciliation. Slowly, I get into motion. I watch the light, the shapes, while many empty eye sockets watch me. Bones and skulls are towering up. Witnesses of the ancient past. They speak of transience,…

Fujifilm X-T2 – From X-pectation to reality
Fujifilm X-T1 was the camera that gave me the assurance and confident to jump into mirrorless about 2 and half years ago. Leaving my bread and butter 1DX, 5D2 and L lenses was really a difficult decision. Do bear in mind that I really think hard as these are my…
