Why?
After living here for more than a decade—often rejecting this place—I’ve decided to carve out a little cosy haven for myself.

My first ever German-Spanish mass. Lunch, laughter with strangers who are now friends. A photoshoot for an unwilling child became a happy experimental photoshoot of the mum and her friend.
