Greatest Love Found

That is photography. For everything I have done, there's nothing more fulfilling but to see my photos improve from the day I got Laura (my Nikon D40) until today. I often get embarrassed when I see how terrible my old photos looked and how shameless I was for posting them online. But despite those disappointments, I still feel grateful looking back to the things I learned especially the skills I gained in the process.


I have been doing photography with Laura for three years and although I have not given her her dream lenses, she still loves me and has decided to stick longer with me. She has been my best friend. Someone who has helped me see when I was blinded with hate, pain, love and joy. Someone who has taken my creative juices out of my system and straight to the viewfinder. Someone who has tolerated my shaky and sweaty hands. She is definitely the perfect nominee for someone I could spend the rest of my life with. Many do not and may never understand this but the connection we have for each other is indestructible and absolutely unfathomable. 


Laura and I traveled to different provinces and even flew to Cambodia and Vietnam. We both experienced different cultures, unraveled the mysteries of history, met people along the way, and satisfied our mouthwatering cravings. From these, we have grown. We have grown to be better and wiser. We have touched lives through our works and that kept us grounded and hungry to learn more. Whenever we feel unstable, we seek for Fido's (the tripod) assistance. The same with Gideon (IR shutter remote) who proved us to be someone we could always depend on whenever we feel alone. And cheers to Spencer (Gorillapod), who could go to the lowest of lows and the highest of highs. To them, I owe the life I never thought I could have.  


With our watchful eyes, we will continue to stand up for what we believe is true and reveal what remains hidden from our naked eyes. Together, we will make and live art.
