how will it feels to go overseas on your own?
I can imagine, myself with a big bag-pack + a camera and off I go... anywhere... can be Nepal, can be Africa... can be war-zone areas... any place that my camera worth to be...
be a free bird...
freedom is what I want, I guesss...
a year back, when someone mentioned that "those photographers are stupid. see tusnami is coming still there taking photos." seriously, I was angry about it. What the person taken, is something that we will never see. To me, if a person able to capture that very cucial moment in life, even meet death, is still all worthwhile.
a photojournalist like Kevin Carter? he is a person started off as a sports photographer, ended his life due to depression.
seriously, I admired this guy alot. He covered the things that cannot be seen in norm conditions. To me, photographs are meant to depict a story. Photograhers are doing something whereby, telling the rest of the world what is happening on the other side of the globe. but sometimes no one seems to understand and appreciate...
"Kevin... believed that photographs could help bring attention to Africa, and in turn help cure some of its ills."
BUT I have a strong emotions towards not taking photos of pysically or intelligence disabled people. Why? Because I feel I may be exploiting my subjects. They have their life & privacy. But if I don't take them, how can I bring attentions their mishaps & touching stories? In turn, it might be a new turn around.
Is contriditing right? haha...
hehe... I suddenly think of a person. Mr K.C Wong. He was my math teacher in seconday 2. He left for his photography career at SPH after teaching us for a few months. At that point of time, I keep asking Mr Wong why he want to leave. I like his style of teaching; which is easy to pick up math topics. He end up taught me one phrase, ren ge you zhi. (yea, after I started working, i trully understands it.)
** why such things came to me?? well, is becasue I yet find someone to share the similar thinking as mine. The way I see things, and how come I can have such a strongl feel towards something.
Life is more than just routines & rituals. Experiencing the unexpected moments are what is the main purpose when we make a trip to this mortal life.
Go for trills.
