Street Photography is all about being open, receptive and responsive to life. It’s a good training in observation and sensitivity. Some moments leave me conflicted; should I or not?

January 2023 will forever be a reminder of saying good bye to my mother. I am heartbroken, in still quiet way, not grief stricken to the point of immobilised inaction. Just this empty and meaningless existential reality I now find myself in. I am walking the dark night of the…
