In the upper reaches of the Yellow River in China, there is a waterfall called “Longmen”. Under it, many fish gather and try to climb that waterfall.

I also want to fail a lot in the future. (Too much of it is unbearable, though!!!) I have been shooting steadily for 10 years and am still in production.
