Walked through London last month, camera on me, as usual. A duck on the South Bank had the same idea as everyone else: just stand somewhere and stare at the river.

I’m launching my own Substackβ€”blending personal essays, travel writing, and photography.
I’ll be sharing reflections on life between Corfu (my home town) & the UK through words & 35mm film.

devastatingly beautiful and dreamlike - and the sea so serene, impossible not to move a Greek like myself - another one with your unique perspective, thank you for sharing

The building may be for sale, but are any photo prints for sale as well? Stunning picture, thank you for sharing

honestly, I don't think a day goes by where I don't catch myself saying this exact same thing to someone else too - I am now trying a "bottom up" rather than a "top down" approach, where I set a tiny goal, and I think I get more done that way. Certainly feel better. Tiny steps. You got this.

We carry with us the lessons from other platforms, and the desire to connect - and stay connected! We can do this! And like you, I’m surprised by how nice this feels.

For whatever it’s worth, it’s a common feeling I think - certainly find myself in a similar position often

I believe I know where this was taken, was this across from the Acropolis? If so, you did such a great job of transforming a familiar landscape through your lens
