Help the Cause

It will come to a certain point in all of our lives when we all will take a stand and make an effort of change for a friend, belief, life style, or even our aspirations; For me, it was my aspirations. In the recent years, I would flip book pages & scroll down web pages of these renowned photographers thinking to myself, “Oh how much I would give to be like them,” or “If I only had the equipment.” I’d filled my head with passive & bland thoughts, looking into the scenery or at someone & ponder how a professional would take this shot, not how “I” would take the shot; I was scared of criticism and rejection. Then i realized: most of these photographers all have started somewhere, & usually not the middle, but at the beginning: When it hurts to fall, when our strengths are our weaknesses, & when the finish line is way ahead. It wasn’t the end, so I had enough of my lazy & passive attitude & have decided dedicate my time, work, and money to my goal in becoming a “Protog” & show aspiring photographers that all you need is that first step (whatever it may be) & a little bit of hope.
