People often ask, “What’s the best camera?” The truth? It’s the one you can carry with ease that lets you stay present, capture fleeting moments, and keep your eyes open to the world around you.
So much of my life as a photojournalist is lived in motion, racing against time, chasing stories, and carrying gear. It’s exhilarating, but it can also feel overwhelming.
And In those moments, I remind myself to pause, to breathe, and to return to my WHYs, by seeing, feeling, and reconnecting.
Because at the heart of it, photography has never been just about images. It’s about connection. 
It’s about remembering that we’re never truly alone in the stories we tell.
