If I look through my portfolio, I can find something meaningful about every image—otherwise, it wouldn’t be there. But some photographs rise above the rest. They serve as waypoints in my journey, marking either a turning point or the consolidation of a new phase in my development. I call these my “marker images.” In my previous post, I wrote about one. Here’s another.

This image holds a special place in my memory. More than just a photograph, it marks the beginning of a new phase in my journey – one where I began actively scouting locations, venturing further into nature, and embracing the full experience of exploration.
