... tell me a bit about your story.
2:37
I, I think I started photography quite early, but in 2010, I think, was the first time I was traveling for a bit longer to Toronto.
2:48
And, um, yeah, I, I loved it so much, and there, then I sh- started sharing, uh, uh, photos with, with friends and family, and they liked those photos so much, and I published them on my own HTML, uh, website, I would say.
3:04
And, um, I started to dig deeper into photography, learn it more, become better, and, and learn from different photographers, uh, to, to, yeah, master photography and, and become a better photographer in, in, in this regard.
3:19
And in 2013, I, I think, I was in San Francisco, and when I searched online, I always found the same spots, right? So y- you find the, the, the Golden Gate Bridge, for example, and then those, those typical ones.
3:36
And there was one particular moment, uh, in, in, in the very early morning, I, I stood up very, very early at, at 5:00 a.m., and, um, I started, uh, to take photos from the Golden Gate Bridge at this typical spot, uh, with, with a city in the, in the background.
3:55
And, um, there was a jogger, and, uh, she told me about a, a spot I didn't know, and then she recommended it, which is called Kirby Cove.
