I am a late bloomer. I started a
career in photography later than most people I know, but that didn't stop me from achieving my goals and that is to see my photographs at least in the pages of a local magazine. But ever since a child I have always wanted my photos to end up in the cover of National Geographic. And that still holds today and I'll never stop reaching that dream.
Being engaged in one of the most competitive area of photography ( nature photography ), it takes more than just talent and imagination to succeed. I remember my first experience with the camera that was during my college years working for our college paper. What drive me the most was to be the best all the time. But because of my fears and insecurities adding to the pressures of my job, I have never surpassed my own expectation. When I stepped out of college, my passion for photography didn't stop there.
After a few months I enrolled myself in a
photography school to hone my craft .It was there where I learned of what a photographer should have in order to succeed. He should be passionate with his craft, that is, he should not stop acing himself with every shot. He should express his emotion with every picture he takes. More importantly he must persevere, be patient and persistent in achieving his goals. He should not let his fears and insecurities deter him from reaching the top.
