# I. Where are we?

It's been five years since I published my first website. The first domain was mostly an experiment, with a name chosen rather randomly. I retired it soon after due to the naming issue, and started snowleopardj.com in late 2023. Since then, the internet has changed rapidly. There have been a few tweaks to the site during that time, but not much.

While I believe photographs can tell stories on their own, there's something compelling about learning more through other means, including words. On top of that, behind-the-scenes stories are far more interesting than what we usually see at first glance.

# II. Reimagining

Reimagining doesn't mean creating perfection, since true perfection doesn't exist. Not perfect, but unique — evolving over time. Like... a glacier.

Nature has always been one of my greatest inspirations. I find it both captivating and timeless. We live in a world overtaken by technology — apps, social media, likes, comments, and endless notifications — consuming our attention over and over. Despite the constant sinkhole of distractions that we often find ourselves in, there's also the nature inviting us to pause and live a story of our own.

And this, is my story.
