Your work gives great pleasure to the soul and mind.
When asked how he created the images, the photographer would either get off with generalities or tell people that his work was real photography, to the point of describing what kind of camera he used to take it. Be that as it may, over the long run, his soul tortured him to an ever increasing extent ...
He was always unable to choose whether to keep posting new work: "Frankly, I'm not exactly certain how to proceed. Instagram's reaction took me by surprise. Getting 15,000 subscribers is not easy. And the final art product resonates with people...”
