Hello, it’s been a while. It saddens me to admit that I’ve taken a long hiatus from blogging, writing, photographing – all the things that have always made my heart sing. Life got… busy, complicated, hectic. I know it’s no excuse, and honestly, my sanity has suffered as a result of straying from this. I […]
Big city living in Buenos Aires is a strange brew of high-energy excitement, chaos and commerce. Nearly a quarter of Argentina’s 40 million residents live and dwell here. The city is sprawling, dirty and beautiful. Immaculate apartment lofts coexist alongside open garbage piles. It’s a metro of dichotomies. One day I am dining with friends […]
It’s amazing how you can hop on a plane for twelve hours and skip the winter. It’s summer here in the Southern Hemisphere and every other day in Buenos Aires, we’re treated to a rainstorm. Warm, jungle-heavy, suddenly-starting-out-of-nowhere rainstorms. Beautiful.

It has been named one of the top three opera houses in the world and is definitely something to behold. We found tickets for the standing section at the very top, a section […]

The Seven Martyrs Church on the headlands of Kastro Sifnos is an eerie site at sunset. The Cyclades islands are rough and dry, their coastlines plunging into the black Aegean. At dusk, the sky glows like there’s a blazing fire nearby. On this warm August eve, goosebumps came over me as the warm pink glow […]
The best things in life I discovered on this small beach in Skopelos, Greece. The delicious simplicity of a home cooked meal. The good company of true friends. The love of a good man. Joy in the blessing of a sunset.
Hi there! I'm Denise. I share my name with Dionysia, the Greek god of wine, pleasure and joy. I'm a photographer, writer, marketer vagabond. I take photographs of enchanted places and the people seduced by them. This blog is an account of the wisdom, joy and grace that I've encountered along the way, and a place where I showcase some of my favourite photographs. If you have similar stories to share, have questions about purchasing prints or just want to say hello, I'd love to hear from you!
