When I started traveling, I couldn’t afford a good camera. I still can’t. I felt like I was wasting so many opportunities to take the perfect shot. Yet, as I go through my photo albums, I realize that I did just fine after all. Maybe a good picture doesn’t always depend on award winning quality, or the right angle – but the memories behind the camera. Each of these photographs (although highly amateur) resonate with me. They take me back to those moments. The smell of strong coffee engulfing the narrow Italian streets, the sound of firecrackers after a football match, the sight of a church on the Spanish seaside. You don’t always have to go looking for beauty in order to find it. Sometimes it just creeps up on you, as you’re lost in the moment:
