Photographing a New City

As I write this post, I am venturing in the beautiful city of Budapest Hungary. This old historic city has so much to offer with the culture, the people and the mystique of a place so vastly different from the one I live in. The textures, colors, the varied terrain and spendid architecture allow so many incredible stimuli for pictures. I just keep shooting and the pleasure is surreal.

It is so important as an artist to stay inspired. One of the greatest skills an artist can have, I believe, is the ability to do this. Travelling is a good way to find the "new", always so rewarding for the eyes.

Alex Webb, a great Magnum photographer, has produced a wonderful set of images of the city of Istanbul and displays them in a video presentation attached here. I hope you enjoy this interpretation as much as I have. This video comes to us via Youtube.
