a quiet corner, a borrowed shadow, and the slow turning of pages – her gaze defies time, her book bridges centuries. between stone walls and fleeting footsteps, she reads not just words, but the life that pulses beneath them.

In capturing this solitary boat, I sought to create an image that transcends mere documentation and enters the realm of emotion and metaphor. I deliberately chose a minimalist composition, allowing the boat to float in what appears to be infinite space. The long exposure technique I employed was crucial in achieving the glass-like surface that further enhances this sense of suspension and timelessness. I was particularly moved by how the faded colors of the boat—the weathered red, white and blue—created the only point of visual interest in an otherwise monochromatic world. For me, this image speaks to themes of isolation, resilience, and memory. The boat, though abandoned, still carries the marks of human craftsmanship and purpose, sitting at the intersection of presence and absence. Through careful attention to negative space and the subtle gradations of gray, I wanted to create a meditative quality that invites viewers to project their own stories onto this scene, to wonder about journeys taken and those yet to come. This photograph represents my ongoing exploration of how simplicity in composition can reveal deeper emotional truths about our relationship with objects, memory, and the natural world.

Wrapped in layers of fabric and time, this enigmatic figure carries the weight of untold stories. His gaze, hidden yet piercing, speaks of resilience, survival, and a life woven with mystery. Every texture, every thread, and every shadow tells a tale—one that invites the viewer to look closer and wonder.

(Over the next two weeks, I'll be sharing a series of street shots, featuring both portraits and street scenes, from my past visits to the Philippines where I immersed myself in street photography.)

i watched him through the quiet pulse of the christmas market in valencia, where lights hung low and laughter flickered like fire. he sat alone, cloaked in a heavy hood and the evening’s chill, his brush dancing delicately across the canvas. the world blurred around him—soft hands and loud steps—but he stayed, focused, lost in his craft. each line he painted seemed carved from his soul, a quiet language of patience and purpose. the scarf curled at his neck like a tether to earth, but his mind drifted elsewhere, where tiny art could bloom unnoticed, untouched.

his hands told stories the crowd would never hear, and in the faint glow of lamps, i froze time.
