Athens Taught Me to Pause Before Judging

I’ve been taking photographs for a long time now. Photography has taken me to a lot of places. Every trip, I come home with more pictures than I know what to do with. Some I keep for myself, some go into competitions and photo salons, some get printed and shown, some end up in collaborative books, and from a few trips I’ve even put together my own travel books.

But lately I’ve noticed something simple: a journey doesn’t always end when we get home and put the camera down. Some experiences stick around longer than I expect, not just because of the photos, but because of the questions that come afterward. The way I see things shifts slowly, and sometimes I don’t even notice it happening. A journey doesn’t just move us from one place to another, it also, slowly, shifts the way we see the world.
