⚠️ 35% Trump Tax If absurdity is policy, I want in. Trump wants to tax Europe? Fine. I’m “charging” Trump voters 35% more for my workshops. Just kidding — maybe.

July is a month of memories and mourning — not only for Srebrenica, but also for Mostar. This image, taken in the ruins of what was once a home, speaks of a siege that left deep scars. Mostar is not just history for me — it’s personal, a place that continues to echo in my work and my heart. Never forget. #Mostar #SiegeOfMostar #WarPhotography #NeverForget #MarcoSecchi #Bosnia1990s #GettyImages #Photojournalism #VisualStorytelling #DocumentingHistory

🖤 Hands of tradition. In a Lucca factory where time moves slowly, Toscano cigars are still shaped by hand — a ritual born in 1818 and carried forward by quiet precision. Kentucky tobacco.
