The Places That Found Me

Ongoing

Where we end up is not always where we intended to go.

Some places arrive in our lives through planning, some through chance, some through love or friendship or the quiet unfolding of time.

This project gathers those places — cities I moved through, sometimes for a day, sometimes longer — not with the mission to conquer or document them, but simply to witness, to breathe, to carry back what remained.

Each photograph is a fragment of belonging.

Sometimes a moment of light, sometimes a face, sometimes just the texture of a place folding into memory.

Not travel photography.

Not street photography in the traditional sense.

Something quieter, slower: a record of where life touched me.

The collection will grow slowly, over years, shaped less by intention and more by synchronicity — a map not of where I went, but where I was found.
