The opposite of pessimism.

A small video I made a while ago which got stuck in my camera roll. Because I was quite pessimistic about the relevance and usage of it. And the unfocused beginning – what did autofocus want to teach me there? So, let’s be curious and see what happens with it. ✨ https://vimeo.com/1214951378?share=copy&fl=sv&fe=ci

The Mountains.
