Blog: Impressions

Welcome to my Blog: Impressions

As an old-world immigrant exploring a new-world landscape, my photographs reflect my impressions of my new home - my way of making sense of my surroundings while also searching for familiar traces of the home I left behind.

This blog is more than just a blog. It’s a place where I share my impressions of the world through my camera. I hope you enjoy it.
