From the authors:
Over the last three years, the world has undergone tremendous changes due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Although it has been a heavy time, there have also been moments of heartfelt joy. Our experiences in recent years have made us realize more deeply that photography is "an inch wide, a mile deep" because of its endless learning and urgent need to forge ahead. We participate in various international competitions, meet many maestros, and contribute to the community discourse.
Our motto is "Just go." As long as there is the possibility of a good itinerary, interesting sights, and a new place, we’ll go without hesitation. As a result, photography keeps us both busy and happy. It has become a top priority to freeze those moments in time so that we can appreciate their beauty. With our motto and passion for photography, we believe that there is still a better journey ahead of us to which we must forge ahead.
