Journeys
Photographic and written records organized by a specific trip or journey.
-
Illness, wind, rain, and the long road forced me to confront the possibility of giving up. Yet once I let go of my insistence that I “had to finish,” body and mind found the strength to carry on.
-
On the first day’s walk from Sarria to Portomarín, mist, clear skies, and yellow arrows accompany a gradual lesson: amid uncertain weather, terrain, and inner anxieties, focus on the step you can take now.
-
Inspired by a film and a book of photographs, two non-Christians set out on the Camino de Santiago—not only to test themselves physically, but to break from routine, understand faith, and discover new ways of seeing life.
-
After leaving the ship early in the morning for one last look at Budapest, we make a whirlwind visit to the Buda Castle District before sailing on toward Visegrád and Vienna. A sunset in motion leaves our unfinished wishes—and plenty of reasons to return—in its wake.
-
A visit to the “world’s most beautiful café,” the Hungarian Parliament, and a McDonald’s in a historic railway station, followed by boarding our Viking river cruise. Budapest’s nightscape and unexpected street encounters proved more beautiful than anything on a preconceived list.
-
From old treasures and Herend porcelain at a suburban flea market to the Great Market Hall and the city’s ruin bars, a day among commerce, food, and youth culture reveals Budapest’s vibrant, complex character.
-
From Toronto to Budapest via Amsterdam, we begin exploring the city through its streets, Hungarian food, and the Danube by night—a prelude to our romantic river cruise.
-
Over four days, I came across three San Francisco farmers’ markets. Amid local produce, Easter costumes, and street music, I saw how these markets bring together food, community, and city life.
-
A lunchtime visit unexpectedly coincides with the Northern California Cherry Blossom Festival, where the Peace Pagoda, cultural stalls, stage performances, and imaginatively dressed crowds bring traditional celebration and youth culture together.
-
Revisiting San Francisco’s Chinatown, I look for signs of change after the pandemic and the latest wave of technology—in shop windows, lanterns, graffiti, and shuttered storefronts—before pausing in Washington Square to take in the rhythms of neighborhood life.
