“Photographers stay young because until the end they would like to pull off one more good shot.”

~ Gianni Berengo Gardin

Each encounter with a great image is an adventure. On the surface, this photograph appears so simple—a small child slipping behind heavy velvet curtains into the unknown of a grand theater. But it is so much more than that. It’s a moment of quiet courage, of curiosity awakening. A new beginning. A gesture toward the magic of imagination, of stories waiting to unfold. It reminds us of the thrill of first discoveries, of stepping into worlds much bigger than ourselves.
