Her Widow Road
It didn’t just here—it was as if Hell had frozen over with her heart. She walks to God’s river to pray and back home alone—cloaked in dark. There were whispers in the trees, in the shrill of the osprey as the icy wind whipped around her knees.

The Trip Back to My Hometown
My grandmother and I were chit chatting a little during the late evening hours just of life in general and random talking points here and there until she had asked me of my trip visiting my hometown on a mission to see Edgar. It was a short amount of time I’d get to see someone I was so close to in an almost previous chapter of my life before he would return to his base somewhere in Tokyo, but I had to take the chance while it was right in front of me. I was able to drive, had just started breaking in my “new” car, and had enough of a financial cushion to take this trip towards my hometown I once knew.

The Favourite Embrace
I used to live in a high block of flats. Most people in Warsaw do. Almost twenty years of my life have passed on the eleventh floor out of twelve, my windows facing west, and no buildings of equal height stood close enough to tarnish the views. To me this meant a greater share of glorious sunsets, racing clouds and vast skies in unreal colours than others may see in a lifetime. Let’s not forget about rainbows too, their colours all too predictable, but always inspiring fresh awe no matter how often observed.

A Rose in the Snow
The snow fell softly, swirling through the pale winter air like delicate confetti. Each flake was unique, but together they blanketed the world in a muted coat of white, hiding the earth beneath it. The world outside my window felt suspended in time—quiet, serene, and almost impossibly still. The temperature was well below freezing, but despite the harsh chill, I found myself drawn to the garden, where nature was performing a delicate dance of survival and beauty.

School Pictures. Honorable Mention in Through the Lens Challenge.
I only went to school here for half a year. There shouldn't be that much to say. Yet when I saw the school blocked off from the roadway by a pelt of grass, grown in over the past decade, despite driving past so many times before, this time I turned and went searching for it, the lost way in.

Smoke and Mirrors
The gray blanket lying over the coast began to rise, breaking into gigantic, airborne pillows that slowly wisped out of existence. The late morning sun gradually broke through, casting long rays through the darker clouds that snagged on the forested hills on the opposite shore.

Spirit Island
2021, fresh out of COVID territory, my Ex and I decided to go somewhere after spending the year in lock-down while going through his cancer treatments. It was a trying year and we both were in desperate need to live again. He decided upon Calgary, Alberta – specifically to visit the Canadian Badlands in Drumheller, Banff National Park and Jasper National Park of Canada.

Rainbow Solace. Runner-Up in Through the Lens Challenge.
Do you know one of those moments when your heart feels constricted and all of your innards tied up, where the only way you can function is to keep moving and take one jagged breath at a time? This was one of those.

Trust the Fall
On a crisp winter day, I took a trip to Niagara Falls in the negative four-degree weather. I went there to have a day with a friend with the intention of doing a video shoot, but what I left with was far more valuable. With the day ahead of us, we woke up nice and early. We were so excited to go to the falls even though we were fully aware that the weather was going to be less than desirable. We bundled up in layers. I wore three pairs of pants, two sweatshirts, two pairs of socks, a coat, a scarf, and two layers of gloves, and I was still freezing. The cold air bit through every layer, but the excitement of the day kept us moving forward.
