The dark and stormy clouds being pushed away by strong winds created this beautiful panoramic "eye" with the help of the water's reflection, as if the observer were looking through the stormy darkness into a brighter, calmer, future. Some go through life seeing nothing but clouds of darkness everywhere, while others know there awaits calmness and beauty beyond the storm. How to go through life and choose to look at the world is always up to the beholder.

I have been a photographer since 2004. I started off with traditional film cameras. In 2007, I bought my first DSLR that allowed me to experiment a lot more by being able to see the results right away. After a decade of experimentation and improvement, I invested in a high-end professional camera and lenses in 2018 and started my own small business as a semi-professional photographer the following year. The professional gear has enabled me to take my photography experimentation to the next level and helped me produce clearer and more beautiful results, especially with astrophotography.
