The Ink Shot archive
From 7 May 2012 until 7 December 2021 The Ink Shot was the blog of Marcus Baumgart, an itinerant café writer, designer of buildings, animal-lover and day-by-day battling creative. This blog celebrates the practice of writing in cafés, writing fiction and non-fiction and being creative in general.
Marcus struggles to motivate without the happy white noise of lively conversation and hissing espresso machines.
Cafés far away but close to my heart
Winter is coming to Melbourne, and the heart strays back to cafés I have known in far off places. This pasticceria is in Amalfi, just south of Positano, where i lingered for a short time. This shot was taken just as the proprietor was setting out the chairs in the piazza.
Why share this? Well, I was looking through my photos and just had the urge to share, as I am filled with longing - I do so wish I was there right now.
