Frustration is unavoidable in photography

I took a random exit and found photography heaven

December 07, 2025 in journal

It was supposed to be a travel day, driving to the next destination of my road trip across the West. But after waking up to some fog, something told me I should explore despite the long drive I had ahead of me. I'm sooo glad I did take the time to take unknown roads, because what I found was a photography heaven, one of the highlights of the whole trip.
