For a long time I have had a secret dream to become a photographer. Deep down I longed to be able to capture emotion and the essence of a personality through a single photo. I never had the guts to actually do anything about this aspiration for fear that I might not be very good. I used excuses like "I don't have time" or "I can't afford a good camera". But really I was just insecure. All of this changed when I met my now husband David. He has taught me that if I want to do something I should do it. If I have a dream I should go after it.
For my 20th birthday, in September last year, David bought me a Canon Rebel XS Digital SLR camera. Ever since then, photography has become my hidden hobby. I have slowly nutured my abilities and gained confidence in myself over the past few months.
When the camera came in the mail, I went over to David's house and spent my afternoon taking a few pictures. After finding my way around Adobe Lightroom I was able to produce my first note-worthy photos. I am actually quite pleased. Here's to the beginning of a long-awaited dream. I hope you enjoy viewing them as much as I enjoy taking them.
beautiful pictures. I love the colors.
