The places I get to see, the people I get to meet.
That’s what it’s all about.
And sometimes you don’t have to travel far to visit new and remarkable places. This time all I had to do was jump in the car and drive an hour from my house.
I ended up in Esk.
And on this very special day, in the world of Dave and Alarna.

Clayton Pearlstein - That shot with the couple walking into the “Coronation Hall” is fabulous! Incredibly cinematic and dramatic!
Jerzy Modrak - I don’t know how you do it, but these are timeless images. As if taken a hundred years ago. All those antique details and clothes. And the people and the ambience.

I could stay in this world forever.
