My Life as A Photographer

Everyone can take a picture using their digital cameras and the picture is done.
That is it to make a picture in this modern digital days. Most every single person just wasting their photographic skills by taking shots without even thinking about the picture going to be.

Every single picture is an art. Move from that picture should be made so that picture can present a great art to be enjoyed.

My life as a photographer (even if it is still short)

I started to take pictures as arts from my first grade at senior high school.
I just went through those days as it is. I just take pictures because I was obliged to do it as the tasks of my extracurricular.

The next year was better. This time my extracurricular only had nine people left. This was my golden age of photography. This time also when I got my first DSLR camera, Pentax K100D.
This camera is still my beloved friend until now.
This year also when I got to know my fellow photographer friends. We went through this together. One of them is happen to be my great friend of mine until now.
We
hunted for picture together,
joined competition together,
discussing together.
Until a time when I realized that he was smarter than me, in the term of academic skills and photographic skills. I was moving away from him just because I couldn't catch up with him.

In the third year.
He kindly encourage me to take pictures again and better.
I just hate myself because I couldn't pay his kindness.
I am struggling with my academic scores, my activities, my computing hobby.
And that just made me going further than before.
He even showed me his pictures to make my spirit come back.
I only show my admiration when he showed those pictures.
Inside myself I wanted to cry because I didn't appreciate what he has done to me.

For the next year.
I made a promise for myself that I will continue to take pictures as arts for him.
And, pay what he has given me until now.
