in the hallowed pre-beginning of our quest, many opinions were shared around the hearth, a tale of imagery where light and shadow dance in silence. we sought to forgo the usual paths, venturing into territories undisclosed, eager to capture moments yet unseen and bring back to the start the essence of our journey in frames that speak only truth. our mission, noble and true, didst reveal the unseen beauty of the world, a treasure kept hidden from the eyes of the many until now.
