JUST PASSING THROUGH -

MEXICO, ALBANIA, GREECE & FRANCE

There are times when one has the opportunity to visit a country for only a very brief time. Whether passing through on a road trip or merely on a ten hour (or shorter!) layover on the way to somewhere else, I do my best to make the most of any photographic opportunities that I can find in a short amount of time. Such has been the case with my all too brief visits to the four countries represented here. While one could easily spend months or more in each of these places, I had only a very small window of time in which to capture what humanity I could as I passed through. The results are below.
