What I Pack for a Week on the Road
One bag, one camera, and a short list I have refined over a decade of mistakes.
Minimalism
Learning to Be Bored Again
Boredom used to be where my best ideas came from. I had to go and find it again.
The Case for One Lens
Carrying a single focal length made me a better photographer than any new gear ever did.
On Keeping a Notebook for Ten Years
A decade of pocket notebooks taught me that the habit matters more than the system.
What Minimalism Actually Taught Me
It was never about owning fewer things. It was about noticing what I reached for.
Ten Days with Nothing but a Backpack
A river valley, a rented car, and the realisation that I needed far less than I thought.
On Writing Letters Instead of Posts
I stopped posting and started writing a weekly letter. It changed what I write and who reads it.
What I Learned from a Week Offline
No email, no news, no feeds. The world kept turning and I came back calmer.

Every year I return to the same small shelf. The books stay the same. I do not.
