age++;

Since the day I started with my career I’ve been so busy, in fact, there’s nothing else to do but work. It’s been the same old routine but because I love what I’m doing, it’s not something to complain about. Not long ago, I wished to do something else, something I haven’t tried and was hoping to fill the empty spaces of my life.. and so my interest in photography started. It was a no brainer choice because it feels close to what I’m doing everyday except I won’t be dealing with codes but pictures. I knew it was not going to be easy because it never was, it needs judgment and skill. I don’t have a good judgment and skill. I’m just some guy entering a new realm with a vast universe of people who have spent their entire lives doing it. But, it’s not a problem. I’m here to learn. This year I was able to travel in different places and do things I haven’t done before – I was able to get away from the city limits. It’s also one of the reasons why I’ve been busy.

I spent majority of my free time tinkering with my camera and traveling with friends who share the same interest. It was a tiring new hobby and is expensive, too. We went to places around the country where people don’t normally go to just to explore and take the time to experiment with our skills. I can count the places we’ve visited but I’ve already lost count how many times I tried to make a good photo and most of them are failures. Despite not being in the level of the experts, I still have the spirit that one day I will be good enough. But for now, I’ll carry my patience with me and learn as we go along.

It’s surprising how I only have few tabs opened during weekends compared on weekdays where I have more than a dozen and more than 2 windows opened. It’s also surprising that I’m taking the time to write about it, too.
