2. **On the power of images:**
– ”The camera is a remarkable instrument. Saturate yourself with your subject and the camera will all but take you by the hand.”
3. **On facing challenges:**
– ”A kind of golden hour one remembers for a lifetime… Everything was touched with magic.”
4. **On the importance of determination:**
– ”Work to me is a sacred thing.”
5. **Reflecting on her experiences:**
