Swept away

Figure 1: Swept away by the waves.

The winds are shifting away from where I would want to be. I am confused and sometimes I don't know where to look for the correct way. I believe and trust in God and only through his scriptures will I allow my vision to be led. 

I know that my time here is short, and it is not through the riches of the world that we should seek. Still I am living now, from this moment, even though just a brief one, I wanted it to be a meaningful and full one. I may not be known by everyone, but I hope that those who do loves me.

This has always been my dream, to wake up after a deep sleep, to know and understand that, it has been worth while, however, if it doesn't at least I have hold on to something so strong and believed in it with all my heart.

My confessions

Figure 1: The best pictures are those without filters.

I am a self-confessed photography addict who is especially stingy on gears. 

Whenever my mind is into the work, I would blank out just to find myself reading about photography.

I always tried my best to make time to take a photograph despite the challenging weather.

Whenever I go, I always try to frame something and kept noticing small elements and details.

I always stare at something/someone until focused and the background turn into bokeh.

Whenever I have to go for chores or other activities, I always find an excuse to cheat a photo.

I love to separate the subject from the background, it is a special type of photography.

Whenever I saw someone using pro gear, I get GAS, Gear Acquisition Syndrome.

I always think so much about my gear and so far, most of my gear & camera are secondhand.

Whenever I see a great image, I will stare at it for hours.

I get stressed if I don't take pictures for more than 3 days.

These are some of my confessions, yet there are sweeter confessions from people around me who are really passionate about photography, and as always, I would like to remind you that pro-gear doesn't mean you will get pro-images. It is all up to you to include the soul into the pictures.
