This photograph captures the mesmerizing symmetry of the Crescent Bridge spanning the river. By precisely aligning the horizon, the bridge’s distinct double-arch structures reflect perfectly onto the mirror-like water, creating a flawless geometric pattern resembling the mathematical symbol of infinity. Flanked by natural greenery that frames the urban architecture, the image balances the precision of human engineering with the serenity of nature, offering a visual journey where reality and reflection seamlessly merge into an everlasting loop.

Three years ago, shortly before retirement, I began studying photography seriously and soon discovered street photography.
I became fascinated by the ever-changing interplay of light, emotions, gestures, and fleeting moments. Photography has since transformed the way I experience everyday life.
People fascinate me most. Every person is unique, and every moment disappears the instant after it appears. Perhaps that is why Henri Cartier-Bresson’s idea of the “decisive moment” resonates with me so deeply.

Awards My only award to date is an Honorable Mention at the B&W International Photography Awards 2026. The Timeless Passenger was captured during a bus journey across Bolivia.
I was drawn to the face of a woman seated nearby. Illuminated by natural light from the bus window, her weathered features conveyed both strength and serenity. Using my smartphone, I captured this quiet moment—a fleeting connection within a journey that never stopped moving.
