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.

He has probably sold a thousand Christmas trees in his life, yet he treats every one as if it were going to his own living room.
Foggy morning in Kalocsa, a quiet exchange, two neighbours, one tree and the small rituals that keep winter human.

Photographing the Sacrario today. Rows of names, rows of stories, and so many Milite Ignoto.
Strange how silence can be louder than crowds.

The sea was restless, so I slowed it down.
A few seconds of motion, and the Adriatic turned into soft lines of winter light.

The day after La Salute feels like Venice catching its breath.
Fewer crowds, more wax, and a small army tidying up the traces of a long, glowing night.

Sunday slows everything down.
Out here the fog does not care about clocks or deadlines, it just pushes you back into your own rhythm.
I am convinced we make better photographs when we move at the pace of the place in front of us.
How is your Sunday rhythm today, slow or already in Monday mode,

We live by the clock, but the body follows a different rhythm.
If you spend time in the countryside, you feel it. Light sets the pace, not minutes. Hunger, rest, energy, they move with the season, not the schedule.
Clocks keep life predictable.
Once you trust that rhythm, everything shifts.

Finished six days of workshop in Prague and Bohemia. Great crew, good rhythm, real moments.
We talked a lot about how photography can shape a place, sometimes even create it. One image, shared enough times, can turn a quiet street into a destination.

Can you live a normal life in a place everyone else treats as a destination?
Tourism can turn a city into a postcard. The task is to keep identity alive.
The real city is still here, in the quiet streets and early hours.
You just need to know where to look.

You learn to wait for it,
and to watch how people step into it.

Most of what people call dramatic light is just patience. The world reveals itself slowly at night, if you let it.

Light trails from passing vehicles create vivid streaks across the Széchenyi Chain Bridge in Budapest, Hungary, illuminated in blue against the night sky. The Buda Castle stands lit in the background on the left, highlighting the city’s iconic skyline along the Danube River.

Budapest in quiet morning light, seen from above the Danube. The Parliament catching the first colour of the day, the city still half asleep. A reminder that the best moments are rarely loud.
