Through the last couple years, I have found that photography has allowed me to feel most present, being a central part to how I view my surroundings. Last fall, I studied abroad in London. These photos embody my time spent wandering the streets of Vienna, Berlin, Mallorca, Dublin, Cinque Terre, and many other places that I had never been before or had been longing to return to. They capture youth and children running around, university students, working adults, and elderly people in their own circadian habits. I will never know the lives of these individuals, but each of these captured moments left a lasting impact on my psyche and time abroad.
