One dream I want to achieve..

This is the image that sums up what I really wanted to do in life, to be a travel photographer. I humbly accepts my inexperience and I haven't acquire yet the necessary skills a photographer has, as well as the proper knowledge in putting complicated effects and enhancing photos in the adobe photoshop. What I know is, I wanted to travel the Philippines, to capture the beauty of our nation, to discover the hidden treasures of nature, to climb mountains, to see the sunrise and the sunset in various vantage points, to look at the blue sky where birds fly proudly in the horizon, to point out the different planets, stars and constellations at night, and to appreciate how blessed I am to witness the beauty that my eyes laid on and tries to capture it in camera. People may say I'm just riding the bandwagon of trying-hard beginners in photography whom with the advent of the increasing interests in digital photography rapidly makes people acts as photographers and where owning a camera is a must. I started taking pictures (using film) when a digital camera was still expensive and where film photography is on the top of its game. When an American uncle of mine showed us his pal mode video camera years go, I was amazed by the way it captures moment and where you can actually playback the time. You can always come back at that whenever you watches it. In 2006 where I was a freshman in college, I took a lot of photos of my classmates. Unfortunately, most of them where deleted when our computer got reformat way back. I'm not trying to sound boastful but I believe the concept and interest of my classmates in taking photos started from me. I was the first one to bring a digital camera (which I borrowed from my cousin and aunt) at school. I was the first one to document some of our school activities and took numerous candid photos of my classmates. I really cried hard when I lost most of those photos. It really felt something was taken away from me and it left me broken. Fortunately, I was able to accept it and started again from scratches. Back in college, it's very unusual for me to not bring camera at school. WOW! This post gets me a bit nostalgic. I'll just look forward on the day I finally own a camera so I could finally realize my dream as well as continue my passion for capturing moments and turning them into nostalgia.
