This series captures a brief yet unforgettable stop at Kalterer See in South Tyrol. Spontaneously deciding to halt our journey, we arrived late at night, just minutes before the campsite closed. As the sun rose, the lake’s serene beauty was revealed, turning our chance decision into a cherished memory. The people around us, with their laughter and warmth, made the moment even more special—a small haven of joy and connection in a chaotic world: The sweet spot. This series celebrates serendipity, shared humanity, and the timeless charm of nature captured through the nostalgia of analog film.
