There are times in life when we're plagued by self-doubt, or despite all the energy and goodwill we can muster, our endeavors seem to end in repeated failure.
Never give up, never stop believing in yourself and your aspirations. By looking inwards and sometimes accepting to change your point of view, you'll find the solutions.
It's not the image I'm used to, to tell you the truth, I thought I'd failed. My opportunities to go to places like this are rare.
The shooting conditions were really special that day, with clouds and fog completely enveloping the mountains.
I had just finished climbing up to a lake, but fell partially into the icy water, testing my resolve to the limit.
But then the atmosphere and the sky suddenly cleared.
Light appeared through the clouds, caressing the peaks and reflecting in the torrent water.
Ignoring my latest discomforts, I did my best to get into position, even if it meant stepping into the water. The moment only lasted a few minutes, but it was so pure that I felt a strong emotion run through me.
This photograph is the result, and a good representation of how I feel today.
Despite the cold and the gloom, despite uncertainty and disappointment, you can always bring out the good in things, as long as you put your mind to it.
