Photography has become a huge fad for most youth like me. It's not vanity nor envy, for me it is pure passion. With photography, you get to savor memories more that what your mind can playback. You get to experience the days that have passed again and again and again.
With this medium you don't only show art but you can also show who you are and what your ideals and perspectives are. Embracing life as many folds as you can. And showing to other's sight your visions. Life is a passing piece, but having photos of those pieces can yield a vibrant collage in the end. You can do these through photography.
Since childhood all I ever wanted is a camera. I get to experience lots of events from schools or outside the school events. I get to attend lots of wonderful moments that's worth to remember. Sadly, I never had a chance to capture those special moments. My mom and dad are not that affluent. I grew up without owning a good camera that would capture the best moments I had. I reached High School using a manual camera worth 200 pesos... LOL, I think that was just a give-a-way from Kodak.
So last year, January, when my dad gave me money to buy anything I want... the first thing that
popped in my mind is to buy a digital camera. Without second thoughts, I bought a 6,000.00 worth brandless camera. It was a rush decision which led to a gullible choice. the camera was too user-unfriendly. I get blur images most of the time. That made me want a better camera... last January when I get to save enough money from my review days without second thoughts I spend it on a better camera. Bought it from a pawnshop. It was Panasonic older model. I think buying this is one of the best decisions I made. It was cheap and it takes pretty good pictures. The catch though is that I spend so much on it's battery. My drive to get the perfect camera is still bugging me.
Last Monday, my mom surprised me with the prettiest present I ever received. A D40 Nikon Camera . It was so pretty that I never dared taking a nap on that day. I started shooting without even knowing how things work. LOL. Got worse to worst shots. Practically a newbie... but these will never hinder me in learning the needed skill.
It's really true that happiness can sometimes be found on a pretty little box from your mom... but this time, it's a D40 kit in a NIKON box from the mall ;)
Thanks mom!
