Postcards from Bianca

Why do we travel? Responsibilities, family visits, career moves…plenty of great reasons exist. But what about that quieter pull to step beyond the obligatory? If you’ve been on Glass a while, you’ve witnessed members speaking to this feeling. There is desire to wander for knowledge and meaning, cravings for a deep shaking of perspective. Alternatively, the urge exists for a good old-fashioned change in scenery.

Bianca’s images offer a beautiful window into what it means to roam simply. A self-defined “weekend photographer hero/artist,” her work is threaded with curiosity. There’s an almost casual quality to the way she notices the world. However, casual doesn’t mean careless. Her subjects and compositions are remarkably artful.

Yes, the locations are gorgeous: Italy, Turkey, Spain, Switzerland, Portugal, France, Romania, Ireland, Costa Rica. Her feed is a formidable postcard tour of this big, beautiful world. And yes, she goes on high alpine training trips, explores beautiful European alleyways, strolls along gorgeous sandy beaches. Rather than leaning on the sheer visual spectacle of it all, Bianca sends us special notes. Despite the gorgeous and glorious subject matter, her images feel shared, not proclaimed.

We love postcards, especially when their messages are sprinkled with playful curiosity. We’ve got mail from Bianca.
