Can't Never Can Unless He Tries.

Coming from a bad past has effected my life is various ways.

There were times , most times I look at other people's life and often I would ask the same questions,

"Where do people get their confidence from?"

"Why can't I be like that person? We are the same age"

"How are people so smart?"

"Will I make it?

"What am I doing with my life" 

There are more times I've doubted myself than having faith in what I can do. 

And if you are the same,

You are not alone. 

This semester I am taking classes of Photo Communications, Introduction to Film and also News Reporting.

As soon as I found that I am taking these classes I knew it would be hell. 

Most of my classmates have a DSLR meanwhile I use the Iphone for selfies and irrelevant posts on Instagram. I almost gave up on my second assignment where we were allocated to take 6 pictures and imply whatever we have learnt during the past classes. These were the few first photos.

Turns out all the pictures were blur and these are the only okay shots that I took which was still blur. I was frustrated with myself and I almost hand in these photos. But I had a thought to myself, if I've taken the loan to study why shouldn't I do my best? 

Gave myself another chance so I asked my cousin and a good friend of mine this time. 

Of course, my skills can be improved but I am proud that I did not give up. And coming back to the questions I've asked myself I now have an answer to each of them.

"Where do people get their confidence from?"

- By giving their best

"Why can't I be like that person? We are the same age"

- because I have different talent

"How are people so smart?"

- I will be too, if I keep on learning

"Will I make it?

- I am on my way

"What am I doing with my life"

 - building the better version of me. 

I never knew how photography can be such a strong subject, it has definitely opened my eyes and changed my perspective on photographs. So go ahead and take up something you've never know how to do, you will be amazed of what you are capable of.

 Stop doubting yourself, start taking chances and start creating your own opportunities. I did not regret anything, I've learnt about patience to wait for the right sunlight, how angles play an important role and how amazing it was to capture moments that will live forever. 

A special thanks to my bestfriend, Sue Ann and my lecturer Miss Claire for taking their time to teach me the art of photography. 

Till then, much love.
