Will this be my final abyss?
My mentor told me two critical things a long time ago. . .
The two maxims seem to be somewhat in conflict with each other, but I can see a bit of light in their combined wisdom.
#1 — Only when you take photos that "make your heart jump to your mouth" your images *might* come out extraordinary. (Translated from another language, this sounds tortuous. It essentially implies — unless you take risks, you cannot expect rewards.)
#2 — If you chase your passion/madness long enough, someday, you could find yourself teetering at the very edge. And it won't be a surprise if the abyss eventually sucks you in. [For those who care, passion/madness = Junoon.]
This image brought back his words saliently to the forefront of my consciousness. In any case, with every click of my shutter, I pay him a silent homage.
