📍Gion, Kyoto, Japan 🇯🇵 (2023)

Gliding through the lantern-lit streets of Gion, Kyoto — a symbol of elegance and centuries-old tradition. 🌙 🏮

A small scene in a giant station.
Central Station is always busy, but every now and then you catch a moment that feels still. Just three men walking — and somehow it looked like choreography. 🧳🕶️

📍 Vienna, Austria 🇦🇹. (2023)

At a Würstelstand, everyone is equal—job, background, or attire don’t matter. It’s all about sharing a moment and a taste of Vienna’s authentic street food tradition.

Quick break, long shift.
Caught this moment late at night on one of those spontaneous street walks. A chef sits out for a smoke, just next to the sign of his Pizzeria — the kind of New York moment that feels straight out of a film.
Also: I finally get the hype. NYC pizza really is something else 🍕
Fun fact: The average New Yorker eats 15 slices of pizza per month. Honestly? Respect.
