Regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter, rain, snow and rain, he gets up early and is greedy for the dark, wearing an old military uniform and carrying more than 40 kilograms of photographic equipment. He climbs the mountain to meet the sunrise almost every day and watches the sunset with a stirring mood.
