Ötztal

August, 2023.

In the summer of 2023, Ines, our dog Simba, and I visited the Ötztal Valley in Austria. My 1970 Leica M4 loaded with Kodak Portra 160 film was always with me to capture those perfect moments. We took our time to enjoy the peaceful alpine scenery. Instead of rushing, we spent our days on easy walks, chatting, and soaking in nature. Simba led us on daily hikes to mountain huts for lunch, where he was always welcome.

The stunning landscapes and natural light were perfect for Kodak Portra 160, capturing beautiful colors of the meadows and rocky mountains. Each shot helped preserve the trip’s beauty. Our time in Ötztal reminded us to slow down and appreciate the moment. The combination of gorgeous scenery, relaxed hikes, and quality time together made it an unforgettable experience.
