Dear Aether Club Budapest ,
So, this week has finally come. And honestly, it feels strange. Maybe even a little painful.
Our relationship has always been an interesting one. I’ll never forget the first time I was taken to your little spaces to party. I remember saying, “This is a place I’m never coming back to.” 😄
At that point, photography wasn’t even a thought in my head. And yet, only a few months later, I found myself standing there on my first trial day as a photographer.
I didn’t even have my own equipment back then. I didn’t have the money to buy it either, so my parents lent me the money for my very first lens — the lens I used to start photographing you.
That first day was a disaster. I remember going home crying because I found it so incredibly difficult. I was convinced someone else would eventually take over and photograph your little events.
But they didn’t.
Instead, somehow, week after week, we grew together. We changed together. I found my visual language through you, and over time, you became so much more than just a place I photographed.
You became my muse.
And honestly, I don’t think I can ever separate you from the person I became.
Because of you, doart was born.
Because of you, I found photography.
Because of you, I found my own style, my own voice, and eventually, myself.
So much of what I have today started within those walls. The work, the friendships, the love, the memories, the people I met along the way. Even some memories I may have happily forgotten after a few particularly wild nights. 😄
You gave me a place to start before I even knew where I was going.
And that’s why saying goodbye feels like losing a small piece of myself. Because in a way, I’m not only saying goodbye to a place. I’m saying goodbye to a chapter that shaped me into who I am.
Every chapter has to end eventually. But I will always be incredibly grateful that out of your 11 years, 9 of them were seen through my lenses.
Thank you for giving me the beginning of something I didn’t even know I was looking for.
You will forever be my biggest muse 🖤🖤🖤
