“Why not offer them a god of death to worship?” one suggested. ⠀ “What a morbid idea,” the other one countered. ⠀ “Obscene,” the third one agreed. “And blasphemous to boot.”⠀ “What a saintly bunch you are,” the first one smirked. “Don’t you realise it’s all a matter of perspective and light?”⠀ #storytelling #storyteller #cinematic #biancoenero #venezia #veneziagram #veneziacityitaly #veneziadavivere #veneziacarnevale #veneziaautentica #carnevaledivenezia #carnevale2020 #bnw_captures #bnw_masters #incredible_bnw #masters_in_bnw #mirrorless #tmoosouls #scacco_matto_ #blancnoir2 #fujifilm_xseries #streetdreamsmag #lensculturestreets #spicollective

I had lost all hope in this particular matter. ⠀ After all how long can one wait for an apparition such as this? A year? Maybe two or five? Perhaps a decade? No, two. And then some more years for luck or good measure. ⠀ I had lost all hope. ⠀ And so the moment I had made peace with the fact that it’s not meant to be for me, when I had thought all possible and impossible chances had passed, I finally found myself face to face with exactly what I had been wishing for. ⠀ She had saved the best for last. ⠀ And planted the seed to lure me back by doing that. ⠀ I saw her cunning plan. ⠀ I saw her sparkling eyes, her mischievous smile behind the mask. ⠀ And I laughed in delight most exhilarating...⠀ #storytelling #storyteller #venezia #volgovenezia #veneziagram #veneziaunica #venezia360 #veneziatoday #veneziadavivere #veneziacityitaly #venezia_cartoline #veneziapersempre #cinematic #mirrorless #tmoosouls #scacco_matto_ #fujifilm_xseries #streetphotography #lensculturestreets

He emerged from the ebb and flow of the sea of people right in front of me as I wandered the streets of the port of my call. ⠀ Stopped me in my tracks. Literally. ⠀ Smiled. ⠀ And disappeared as the current of the crowd dragged me in the opposite direction. ⠀ Did I return the smile or was I too dazed?⠀ Was he even real?⠀ Why did he seem so familiar?⠀ I cannot be sure because his image is blurry in my mind, which curiously claims I ran into cigarette smoking cats a little while later...⠀ #carnevaledivenezia2020 #venezia #veneziagram #veneziaunica #veneziatoday #pirate #volgovenezia #venice #veniceitaly #storytelling #storyteller #portraitphotography #streetdreamsmag #everybodystreet #fromstreetswithlove #mirrorless #lensculturestreets #fujifilm_xseries ⠀

The words have deserted me. ⠀ So has sleep. Those two often wander off together, sharing gossip and Prosecco induced giggles. ⠀ But the truth is I don’t particularly care for sleep lately. All I want is to keep loving you. ⠀ A sardonic smile curves my lips at the thought because how can I keep loving a promise of something that has no guarantee of happening. ⠀ You might say I’ve too much salt in my lungs again and it makes me delusional. I say I have too many unshared dreams in my heart and they make me detached. ⠀ The last time we met in some reality long gone you asked me to tell you something true. Now I have your answer. I was told I was afraid. An accusation thrown at me by a pretentiousness wearing a mask of an arrogant human male. But it’s true - I am afraid this time the web of realities appears to be tangled up beyond repair for us to meet again... #storytelling #storyteller #biancoenero #mirrorlesscamera #prismphotography #volgovenezia #veneziagram #veneziaunica #igersvenezia #veneziaautentica #bnw_captures #bnw_masters #bnw_of_our_world #incredible_bnw #scacco_matto_ #blancnoir2 #tmoosouls #fujifilm #fujifilm_xseries #sweet_street_beat #streetdreamsmag #lensculturestreets #everybodystreet #fromstreetswithlove

The night before reaching port of call is always a sleepless blur. Always. ⠀ This one is no exception. The bastard entertains itself by throwing shards of year old memories at me with enviable if annoying persistence each time I dare to close my eyes. ⠀ The port is near. I can almost taste it’s unique flavour of salt in the air. I can almost hear the emerald waves and the silver bells. Now bring me that horizon, why don’t you... #cinematic #storytelling #storyteller #biancoenero #venezia #veneziagram #veneziacarnevale #lagoonpirates #bnw_captures #bnw_masters #bnw_of_our_world #mirrorlesscamera #mirrorless #streetdreamsmag #lensculturestreets #fujifilm_xseries

How long since I boarded this ship?⠀ Time has become a very interesting and pretty much irrelevant concept. Perhaps it has melted into the slate grey waves sparkling in the starlight. I had no patience to wait a moment longer. I never do, even though I’m well aware that my rash decisions tend to bite me in the arse more often than I care to admit. ⠀ I ran. Bolted in the middle of a boring afternoon after yet another charlatan came knocking on the rusty and long locked gates of my fortress maze with the claim of being the one to tame my demons. ⠀ A sigh escapes my lips at the memory of the man. So pretentious, so full of empty words and all the worn out tricks I’ve seen too many times to feign even polite interest. In fact, took all my nonexistent will power to resist the seduction of the idea that suggested feeding him to said demons he was so intent on exorcising. ⠀ And so I stole onto the first vessel heading in the general direction of my destination.⠀ “That’s my home there!” suddenly a man screams somewhere on the ship as the port we spent all this day in disappears from view slowly but surely. Despair colors the man’s voice as he realises the ship he boarded in hopes of getting home has tricked him cruelly...⠀ ⠀ #storytelling #storyteller #cinematic #biancoenero #volgovenezia #veneziaautentica #veneziagram #venezia360 #streetphotography #streetdreamsmag #lensculturestreets #spicollective #mirrorless #tmoosouls #scacco_matto_ #bnw_captures

There’s a melody playing in my dreams. ⠀ A song. ⠀ It’s the most captivating thing I have heard in my life, that much I know, yet I couldn’t repeat the melody for the life of me. As for it’s words, those play hide and seek with me, and I am constantly losing. ⠀ There’s a melody playing in my dreams.⠀ And in those dreams I dance with you...⠀ ⠀ #storytelling #storyteller #cinematic #biancoenero #blancnoir #bnw_captures #bnw_masters #bnw_of_our_world #mirrorless #tmoosouls #scacco_matto_ #incredible_bnw #masters_in_bnw #lensculturestreets #jurmala #streetdreamsmag #spicollective #bnw_one #beachlife #fromstreetswithlove #wearethestreet #prismphotography

“I was accused of not believing in love anymore,” I say and keep my voice casual as if the subject matter is as exciting as a bill delivery. ⠀ “Is there truth to said accusation?”⠀ “Is there truth to any of these painted masks?”⠀ A smile precedes the answer, “To a certain extent.”⠀ I know the unspoken words that smile keeps silent. I want to keep my own words caged, I want to keep the distance intact between me and the world, but what good has that done me? “I do believe in love. Perhaps I just keep on pretending that I don’t because I’m unable to find it and it makes me miserable.” I expect the words to bite, taste bitter, make me gag, but no such thing happens. “I can’t stop looking for it. I just can’t... I’ve left the goddamn lighthouse on for him, for heaven’s sake.”⠀ “Then all you have to do is believe in the wildest one of your dreams...” #cinematic #storytelling #storyteller #biancoenero #blancnoir2 #mirrorless #mirrorlessphotography #prismphotography #jurmala #beach #bnw_captures #bnw_masters #bnw_of_our_world #bnw_capture #fujifilm_xseries #fujiframez #tmoosouls #scacco_matto_ #incredible_bnw #masters_in_bnw

The sun is gone. Again. ⠀ And the gloom is back for yet another show. ⠀ “Boring,” I say and shrug. ⠀ It doesn’t realise that I have changed the soundtrack of my life, while it keeps the only age old tune on repeat. ⠀ “Boring,” I say with a blasé look in my eyes that are grey as the sea here today. ⠀ I feel the gloom monster smirk inside my head. It has long as dropped all pretences of being dazzling and charming. It has become so comfortable with me that it doesn’t bother seducing me. However, it’s desperation is palpable as it tries to fill my mind with poisonous words and images that break my heart.⠀ And yet there’s something that rouses my interest way more than the abrasive trash talk I have gotten so used to. ⠀ “Where will we end up between the seas this time around?” I can hear the crash of emerald waves become ever more distinct and I can almost taste the salty air on my tongue...⠀ #cinematic #storytelling #storyteller #biancoenero #blancnoir2 #scacco_matto_ #tmoosouls #mirrorlesscamera #prismphotography #beach #jurmala #bnw_captures #bnw_masters #incredible_bnw #masters_in_bnw #fujifilm_xseries #fujiframez #streetdreamsmag #spicollective #lensculturestreets

⠀ Sun here slithered along the horizon peaking through narrow slits in the pearl grey clouds but not revealing itself fully at most hours of the day, only rarely putting on a display of magnificent pinks and purples when the world was still asleep. ⠀ ⠀ When it finally showed it’s face, by design or, more often than not, by wicked mischief on behalf of clouds that dared to skip their duty, one became acutely aware that the northern land was not as deserted as it would have the outsiders believe...⠀ #cinematic #storytelling #storyteller #biancoenero #prismphotography #bnw_captures #bnw_society #bnw_masters #bnw_of_our_world #incredible_bnw #jurmala #balticsea #latvijasdaba #enjoylatvia #winterblues #blancnoir #scacco_matto_ #tmoosouls #masters_in_bnw #mirrorless #fujifilm_xseries #fujixseries #fujilove #traveldeeper

It seems barber shops are popping up all over Riga, so… I just couldn’t restrain myself from stealing a shot or two as I passed by this one.
