The summer after my high school entrance exams, my mother bought me a Ricoh GR2. It was my very first camera and the first time I truly learned how to see. Lightweight as a breath, yet capable of holding light itself.
Soon after, I traveled to the UK with my family. I didn’t really know how to take pictures then. I just pressed the shutter whenever something moved me, the red brick houses, rain-soaked cobblestones, white roses on windowsills, the Thames glowing at dusk.
I realized those photos weren’t just souvenirs from a trip, they were the way I began to remember. Each image captured a small pause in time, a heartbeat caught between moments. Standing there, camera in hand, I whispered to myself: “So this is what the world really looks like when you stop and see it.”
Most ardently
