This book is a love letter written for the photographer inside your heart. It is meant to reignite your creative courage, your passion, your dedication, your sense of purpose, and your desire to make deeper photographs, tell meaningful stories, and build a legacy with your photography.
Let's walk together.
The streets are a great teacher. They can see right through you, and they always reflect your energy, your mood, your emotions and your intentions. And they will shower you with beautiful moments if you approach them with a pure heart and an open mind.
In order to truly see, you have to let go of all expectations: You turn into a curious observer who watches without judgment. You accept the missed shots, and the blurred shots, and the bad shots, and the photographs that were magical only in your head but lost their charm once you downloaded them to your digital darkroom.
You respect the volatile nature of this art. You love it with patience. You learn from your failures, and you let your heart overflow with gratitude when the stars align and you make an unforgettable photograph, even if it happens just once a year.
You open your heart wide as you encounter the people of the world on your travels, willing to meet them where they are, without judgment, prejudice or fear. And you realize that across continents and cultures, stripped of status and material possessions, we all want the same thing: Joy, safety, someone to love and a reason to laugh.
And when you truly love your art, the streets always know, and they let you photograph the deepest essence of life itself. They let you tell meaningful stories. They help you become a messenger of peace and a bearer of good news, because we so need more of that. Your art, a mirror of humanity. Your lens, a reflection of your soul.
Welcome, Visionary.
