About Peter
๐ท Portrait by Nishimoto Kyลko
My name is Peter Orosz. I write stuff and take pictures. I live in Tartu, Estonia. My family name is pronounced โO-rosโ โ itโs the Hungarian word for โRussianโ, which I am not. This website is where I publish my work.
๐ด Live in 2022
Iโm walking across northern Japan and writing a series of dispatches from the road called Human Again.
