Perspective Through the Lens

193,000 Moments of Patience and Vision

Leadership, like photography, requires seeing the world from different angles. Timing matters. Composition matters. Patience yields the extraordinary.

Over two decades, I've captured 193,000 photographs across continents—from 10,000 meters above sea level to 100 meters below the ocean surface. Each one a lesson in:

Patience

Waiting for the right moment—whether for perfect light or organizational readiness

Vision

Seeing what others miss—identifying opportunities before they become obvious

Timing

Knowing when to act—decisiveness in capturing fleeting opportunities

Perspective

Changing viewpoints reveals new possibilities—fresh angles unlock solutions

These same principles guide how I approach engineering leadership and strategic advisory.

My Photography Journey

In my records I have digital photos since 2000, even though I've been doing photography for more time than that. I just realized that I've been clicking a camera, making the shutter work for over 2 decades. In any case I always try to improve bit by bit, photo by photo.

I started with a Minolta film camera, taking 36 photos per roll. Later I moved to a Sony digital camera to save a bit of money on lenses. But then I completely moved to Canon, and I'm still using Canon for the last several years.

I use photography as a way to liberate my creative self. To allow my techy nature to use the machine to express 'something', just to make others feel, or inspire. It is also a training tool, to force my brain to look at our surroundings in different perspectives.
