I joined PhotoCrowd in December 2024, and it only feels like yesterday. My main goal was to get feedback from other photographers, and I certainly have learned a lot, one photograph at a time. I would take this opportunity to thank the many prestigious members of the PhotoCrowd community who have decided to follow me. I am so humbled. Photography for me serves as a mirror (self-understanding), a window (seeing the world anew), and a bridge (connecting with others). Going outdoors to take photographs helps to be in fresh air no matter the weather or the season; it promotes physical movement, provides opportunities for new explorations of sights and sounds, and fosters engagement with the environment. Most importantly, photography serves as a unique and versatile mixture of artform and science that encourages mindfulness, insight into unconscious preoccupations, and a sense of accomplishment. Let the journey of life continue.
