I went back to Ireland after the long summer in Bulgaria and the two months until Christmas went by very quickly. I developed 6 films with pictures from the summer, but I somehow forgot to share them in the blog. Now a couple days after Christmas it is a bit late to share summer images, […]

Holiday Spirit
I went back to Ireland after the long summer in Bulgaria and the two months until Christmas went by very quickly. I developed 6 films with pictures from the summer, but I somehow forgot to share them in the blog. Now a couple days after Christmas it is a bit late to share summer images, […]
The Wisdom of Summer Sunsets
I live not in myself, but I become Portion of that around me; and to me High mountains are a feeling, but the hum of human cities torture. Lord Byron This quote from Lord Byron really captures the feelings I experienced this summer. Spending more than three months in the countryside, I did become a […]
Raspberries Still Life
Ever since I came back to Bulgaria, I have been experiencing a connection with the land. There is so much that grows here and even around our house there are many fruit trees. We also have some raspberry bushes, so I enjoyed picking my own fresh raspberries. I have been working on a lot of […]
Mountain Stories
Today I received the scans from the second film I shot at Ambaritsa hut. The film is Kodak Gold, as usual, but as I am using a lab here in Bulgaria, the colours of the scans are a bit different from the ones I usually get in Ireland. I guess this is the beauty of […]
Escape to the Mountain
Thousands of tired, nerve-shaken, over-civilized people are beginning to find out that going to the mountains is going home; that wildness is a necessity. John Muir, Our National Parks In Bulgaria we have a special connection with our mountains. Hiking is a favourite pastime for people from all walks of life. There is a certain […]
Dublin Sunset
I love the warm and purple tones of Kodak Gold especially at sunset light. Lucky for me lockdown presented plenty of opportunities to walk around the city and the great weather and late sunsets made for some great walks in search of good light. I developed these more than a month ago, but I was […]

Dublin is divided in North and South Dublin by the river Liffey. The south side is full of equal parts of vintage charm and hipster vibe. Even though some might find it too posh for their taste, I certainly love its aesthetic. I love taking walks around the neighbourhoods on the south side, as they […]
My City
A city that outdistances man’s walking powers is a trap for man. Arnold Joseph Toynbee I am lucky to be living in a city, which is very walkable. Dublin is a big city, but it does not feel like a concrete jungle. A huge part of it has remained unchanged for centuries, so it doesn’t […]
Urban Meadow
The lockdown has left the city centre of Dublin very peaceful the past couple of months. This made me notice a hidden world – the world of urban wildlife and plants. We live right next to the park of Dublin City Council and on top of their parking garages they have let wildflowers and grass […]
Spring in Portobello
One of my favourite places for a walk during the Coronavirus lockdown was Portobello. It is a very charming old neighbourhood with old brick houses with beautiful gardens, which were all covered in blossom in spring. It is also very quiet with almost no traffic (not like traffic has been an issue the past months […]
Birds and Magnolias
Within just one week, I received the scans of 3 films spanning from early March to last Friday. And all of a sudden I have a lot of catching up to do, as it is almost summer and I still haven’t posted my pictures from early spring. All these images were taken either right before […]
Pink
Coronavirus or not, nature doesn’t care. We have been very lucky in Dublin with the warm and sunny spring. The city was covered in blossom and these are some images I captured on film.
