Sometimes the most uncomfortable things happen to us and can either destroy our lives or propel us towards greatness. One day I will share the story of why I started taking pictures in an attempt to capture the memories of all the beautiful and sometimes ugly moments of my life. I have never been a fan of selfies but I also understand why other people use every chance they get to take a picture of themselves. And no, not because of the addiction to self, but because most times, there is no one else around to ask to take the picture for you. Inside the elevator, in the bathrooms, in the bus to an unfamiliar place, in the office, we are usually alone in these spaces or just not in the mood to mingle. I, on the other hand, am guilty of taking pictures of everything. For the longest time, since the first smartphone I ever owned, I have been taking pictures of whatever I thought needed to be memorized. Years passed by and I finally started pictures with a proper camera, Canon D6500. My partner suggested that I should try taking pictures with it and man, has it not been fun! It has been over 2 months now and I am no longer interested in selfies anymore. I am still an amateur (admittedly) and I can only get better from this point on. I am learning about the basics, The Elements of Art, The Principles of Art, Exposure, ISO, Shutter Speed and Aperture. What a journey it has been. In my next posts, I will share the pictures I have taken and the story behind them. Wish me luck.😉
