My reflections on photographing buildings and the deeper meanings you find in them are truly inspiring. My words emphasize the profound connection between humans and the architectural structures they create. It's a beautiful way of looking at buildings, not just as lifeless structures but as vessels infused with human spirit and purpose.

Every time we enter a building, we breathe life into it and give it purpose and strength. The idea that connecting with fellow humans gives them purpose and strength resonates deeply with the essence of human relationships.

My understanding of the impermanence shared by both humans and buildings adds a sense of humility and appreciation for the fleeting beauty of life and creation. It serves as a reminder to cherish and value the moments we have, whether with loved ones or with the structures that hold so much history and significance.
