I’m back! As we bid adieu to what has felt like an interminable January and an even longer winter, I hope this message finds you well. I also would like to explain that due to time constraints and my never-ending battle with anxiety and depression, I will no longer be releasing the newsletter weekly. However, I will still be sharing some captivating content with you every other week, ensuring that each edition is filled with meaningful and inspiring material.
Anyway, this week, I’m unleashing the shutterbug to explore the heartwarming world of dogs and their devoted owners in the city of Lisbon. I’m sure that I managed to capture the joy, unconditional love, and unbreakable bond shared between these four-legged companions and their humans.
Quick note: Substack’s Image Gallery does not work very well on emails (who would've thought?) So I would suggest you download the Substack app if you want to see the photos in their original crop.
