Budapest & Vienna on film
These photos capture the things that resonated with me.
There are landscapes, yes, but also faces, fleeting moments, little details I loved, things that, for some reason, made me stop, look, and breathe a little deeper.
Shooting on film means you trust your eye, your feeling, and the rhythm of the moment.
You don’t see the result right away, you wait, and in the waiting, there’s something magical.
And then, when you finally get the scans back, it feels like opening a little box of emotions.
Suddenly, you’re back there, in that same place, under that same sky.
It’s not just about remembering, it’s about feeling it again.
Walking through the streets of Budapest, I was struck by its contrasts: elegant and gritty, grand and quiet, melancholic and full of life. Some things that I liked…its Art Nouveau facades, the warm yellow of the trams, the worn staircases that spiral inside old buildings.
The Danube flows like a silent witness through this city, and before reaching Budapest, it quietly makes its way through Vienna.
Vienna. Here everything feels intentional,refined, balanced, timeless.
The architecture is like a poem in stone: imperial palaces, delicate ornaments, facades that glow in soft shades of ivory and gold.
Yet, beneath this perfection, there’s an artistic heartbeat that pulses through the museums, the coffee houses, the quiet parks where people read, kiss, or simply sit.
It’s a place that invites you to slow down, to observe, to listen.
I feel deeply grateful to be able to travel, to keep discovering new things, new places, new artists, people I had never met before, words I didn’t know, cultures so different from my own.
All these experiences open your eyes and make you realize how big the world is and how, in the end, we’re all connected.
There’s something nostalgic about analog photography.
Sometimes it even brings a kind of sweet longing for things that aren’t necessarily in the photo itself, but that your heart associates with it: moments, people, feelings.
It has this quiet power to connect us not just to the present, but to everything and everyone we’ve ever felt deeply about.
Especially in times like these, when so many people in the world are suffering, this feeling of connection becomes even more important.
My heart goes out to them.
