Dear Spring,

I have been waiting for you.

You are my favorite part of the year. I mean, summer is delicious too, and I see it more as an extension of spring. Winter has its beauty, with its magical foggy moments, but I miss the bright days far too much. And when you bring days like we had last weekend, close to 20°C, it can't go wrong.
Obviously, depending on where you live, it might make you laugh 😅, but where I'm living, we all lack vitamin D.

So, with a very big smile and my heart fully charged with positive energy, I had a lovely walk capturing life as it happens.

Visual storytelling… Something I've deeply missed. It will now be an essential part of my work going forward. While I still appreciate fine art in black and white, I'll be channeling less energy into it.

I believe that Life Stories Matter. This is why I've named this section accordingly.

You know what I've discovered? You don't need to travel far to find stories worth telling. They're happening right around the corner, in your neighborhood, on familiar streets you've walked a hundred times. I used to think the most compelling images came from exotic places, but now I see the extraordinary hiding in our ordinary corners.

All these photos were taken within a few kilometers of home. No passport required, just open eyes. The same streets we walk every day are filled with fleeting moments that deserve to be preserved before they're gone forever.

These life moments: The brief interactions between strangers, silent expressions caught in passing, fragments of everyday beauty… They reveal our shared humanity. Through my viewfinder, I'm searching for those honest glimpses that tell larger stories.

We walk past hundreds of stories every day without seeing them.
The elderly couple still holding hands after decades. The child discovering rain puddles for perhaps the first time. The moment of kindness between strangers that lasts only seconds but speaks volumes about who we are.

This is how I see the world. This same eye for authentic moments is what I bring to every session, whether I'm documenting family connections or a business's living culture. The ability to spot and capture what matters is universal.

My goal is to document these authentic moments worth preserving because time doesn't pause, whether they happen on busy streets or in your personal spaces.

Please find my first series below, from the afternoon until sunset… The last one is already one of my all-time personal favorites.

Which one is your favorite? Tell me in the comments.

(And if something in these images resonates with you, I'd love to hear why. These everyday moments might seem simple, but they're the building blocks of our most meaningful stories.)

Until next time 👋🏼
