Exploring Rick Owens’ Runway Sites in Lido, Venice

Between 2020 and 2021, Rick Owens held four of his runway shows in Lido, Venice. And of course, when I recently visited Venice, I wanted to check out those places. Even though they are not that hard to find, I still figured I share my findings with you.

Shenmue Sacred Spot Guide on Google Maps

After visiting Yokosuka recently, I noticed that I would’ve loved a digital version of the Shenmue Sacred Spot Guide. Which you can find here. Or you can also check out some other important learnings from my short visit.

Visiting Skopje

I visited Skopje for the first time a few weeks ago. The weather wasn’t ideal, but once the rain had stopped, there were plenty of opportunities to experiment with reflections.

Some reds…

For me, it’s rare that pictures with a specific theme appear in quick succession, whether in terms of time or location. But that’s what happened with these three, so I decided to share them with you.

Street photography in Japan #1 – Tokyo

In February I visited Japan for the first time. Besides visiting many specialty coffee shops and vintage fashion stores I also took many pictures which I slowly finish to sort and further develop. This post is the first batch covering some of my favourites I took in Tokyo.

Street photography in Athens

Last December I visited Athens for the first time. And I already know, it won’t be for the last time.

Street photography in Madrid

I recently visited Madrid and enjoyed the sunny weather with its harsh shadows during the day. This turns even simple things like windows with some plants into interesting subjects. It gets even more interesting, of course, when people cast their long shadows on walls.

There were many beautiful sunsets, still present as reflections when taking pictures of well-known landmarks, combing tourist hot spots with a drink, which I personally enjoy. At night, the city lights up with countless neon signs, glowing bars, eateries and their visitors.
