Nights in Firenze

The best time to walk around the streets of Firenze is late at night, when all the tourists are asleep, and the late night personalities are out in their element. It’s while walking the empty streets, absorbing soft sounds of music and conversation reflecting off ancient stone surfaces, that you can transport yourself across timelines.

I spent a month with family in Florence in September 2021. I time traveled like never before, flowing through the centuries of spirits roaming the streets in the night. It was in Florence that I began to consciously visualize sound, and then infused these textures into my photography. The sound of a violinists strings vibrating off the Uffizi, the sound of electrical ticker boards in Santa Maria Novella, heels on cobblestone.

Centuries of energy intertwined in Firenze.
