Finding Inspiration Among Landscapes
For as long as I can remember, the most at peace and inspired I feel is when I’m surrounded by the mountains, forests or the ocean. When I lose myself in these vast natural landscapes, it actually feels more like coming home to myself.
17 years ago, when I acquired my first camera of my very own, I took it with me into the forest and mountains daily, documenting the natural world while simultaneously feeling my mind slowing down, entering that state of inner stillness... also filled with curiosity and inspiration.
