21st Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest People
Wind and Sun in the Forest

My photography is how I see outer world, to express my thoughts, and is very personal. Ever since I was a child, I always knew my inner connection to something uncontrollable. We all are extension of divine, and photography reminds me of the belief I have is true. The very moment the sign of confirmation comes to me, I feel divine connection within myself. That is the reason photography my media for artistic expression. Lighting in the forest is unpredictable, and miracle exists in the uncontrollable nature. I feel blessed every time I encounter unforeseeable.
