Hunger

The hunger to advanced is great stricken by the SAF. I sometimes wonder to my self when i leave the army at 24. will i have enough time? depressing thoughts. But yet it is sth that cannot be helped.

I wished i could bring my camera around. I wish i could walk a different road everyday and just record everything i see. I want to make it my profession, i want to make it my life and passion. I want to give up life for my passion. Am i a delusioned and depressed artist like those of the 18 century now?

What can i do to start paving my career now??? sigh... depressing day...

Am i?

Its been a "hazy day" having need to go back to the Hospital again this morning. The leg numbness is back and its making me walk funny. But nonetheless it shouldn't stop me from putting thoughts into my craft today. No. Actually for the last few days i've been bothered by only one question.

"am i qualified to shoot"

Many people are deem qualified upon their own judgement. But by professional standards and comparison, i am a mere seedling in the soil only. What rights do i have to hold on to the camera to produce art if i am not ready to allow my innerself to let the art flow?

Here's a little thought i'd like to share for today.

"if i am qualified i would have found myself,
If i humble myself i will be in search of myself

and if i am one day should i be qualified

i would have found myself."

Thus i think i need to constantly ask myself this question. " what is within me that i want to reflect in my images?" if i can find the answer to that, i am ready to shoot. If i am not, then the images i shoot wouldnt have the meaning to it anymore.

A start of a new Blog

I guess i am hardly a person who talks much of how i feel and what i think in my life. But i just thought to myself. Perhaps if i just tried hard enough to write down my thoughts and feelings on certains issues and things. I might be able to further understand myself and find a deeper meaning to my craft. Hopefully i'll find an outlet in my expression and journey with you through my life's ups and downs, sucess and downfalls. Thank you for viewing.

a recent sharing from a friend and photographer.

"To me, photography is collecting what my mind will never be able to fully recall - a fleeting moment that will never again be seen, an experience that will never again be felt. A photo captures all of that, be it a split-second or over a longer period of time, it captures it all, freezes it and brings me back to that exact moment when the shutter was released."
