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.

This is why we start before sunrise. Fog, empty streets, and the city revealing itself slowly. Taken this morning on my Prague workshop.

Light moves differently in old cities,
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.

The fortress of Cisnădioara, one of Transylvania’s oldest Romanesque landmarks.
Shot in black and white to match its silence, its rough beauty, and the feeling that time never really left.

Coming later today on Substack: A deep-dive on the one skill that changes every photo – learning to read the light before you even lift the camera.
I’ll share how I scout angle, quality, colour and movement of light on the streets of Venice and beyond.
Full post drops at 6:30 pm CET free for all.
