The Virtual Journeys are an expanding series travel journals offering the reader a view into the city life of several capitols. The stories are told in the form of a graphic novel where each page is a small story in itself and all pages combined tell the larger story.
In each city I have chosen one particular place or walk that has a unique view of the visited metropole and lets the reader experience this. Each page is made up of fragments of pictures that have been processed in order to let you focus on the details without being distracted by photo realism.
