Photo essays

Photo essays

Here is a collection of the blog posts on the site I’ve tagged as photo essays. There’s usually some text, but the photos are the prominent feature of all these posts. There will be photos illustrating the text and then, sometimes there is a gallery of pictures at the end. Or sometimes I’ve chosen to use the text more as captions for big pictures.

Currently, my favourite posts under this tag are Stories from the sleeping place and Florentine graffiti.
