Blog: Impressions

Welcome to my Blog: Impressions

I named my blog Impressions because it’s a word that often comes up in how I think about my work. 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.
