“You must live in the present, launch yourself on every wave, find your eternity in each moment. Fools stand on their island of opportunities and look toward another land. There is no other land; there is no other life but this.”

~ Henry David Thoreau

Image captured in a balmy summer of August in 2010. Location a boat on Bosphorus on the shore of the Black Sea, Istanbul. My sharp eye and a fast click captured this moment with a Nikon d3000, sigma lens. Nothing fancy. Just being present in the moment. I embarked on a journey of self-discovery since then through the lens of my camera as well as my artistic tools for more than a decade. That was my lucky break. May it be yours too.
