I take a deep breath of the salty sea air. The wind has picked up. The waves are crashing against the beach. I open my eyes and look at the clouds that lie above the horizon, standing out sharply against the sky. They distribute the light of the evening sun and illuminate the entire beach in a unique orange glow. Despite the fresh breeze, I am not cold. The last rays of the day warm me.

The day before, I started in a small town on the south coast of Spain. I grabbed my camera, sat down in the Taycan, and chose mxy,a destination that promises worthwhile photos, even in bad weather. My next stop is Malaga – not too far away and perfectly located for enjoying a nice stretch of road along the Mediterranean coast on the way there.

It’s the spontaneity that I love about photography. Of course – photography is my profession, but what I take away from such a road trip means more to me than images. The encounters with people in cities, in the countryside, on the markets inspires me and therefore enriches my life. My camera sharpens my senses and acts as a guide.

It leads me to the market in Malaga, the Mercado Central de Atarazanas. Stepping through the entrance with its gigantic glass window, which depicts various monuments of Malaga, you’re immediately immersed in the hustle and bustle. Between all the stalls and booths with fruits, fish, meat, coffee, cheese, vegetables and spices, the atmosphere is reminiscent of the Arab markets on the other side of the Mediterranean.

After a while, I head off. I want to arrive in Ronda today.
