The Art of Capturing Light 

Hello world! Please check out my new photography blog:

The Art of Capturing Light. 

I actually update this one and check it frequently, so please share any helpful criticisms or comments that you may have!

As it says in my little 'About Me' blurb, I'm an aspiring photojournalist. My dreams are summarized with this: travelling and telling stories through my photographs. In truth, working for National Geographic - getting to travel, take photographs, and helping to make the world a better place - is an ultimate life + career goal!

(Yes, I'm aware I'm young and have changed my mind about my career/future about a hundred times since middle school.  So I know it's more than likely to happen again. But, I don't know - I think this time is different! [Maybe?]) =P

In the meantime, I'm completely snap-happy. I'm taking photographs every chance I get. While balancing university and studying, friends and social life, (and hopefully a new job soon!) I've also been trying to save up for my own DSLR camera (for the past three weeks I've been using my dad's beautiful Canon EOS 5D Mark II). I know they're incredibly expensive but I am so confident that I have found a beautiful passion, and I'm going to invest as much time and money as I should.

I've been obsessed with other people's photography too; their blogs, websites, and even Facebook pages/posts have kept me on a constant image-absorption loop. Admittedly, I'm trying to muster enough courage to put my own self out there and do my best to be a real certified photographer, hired to shoot memorable events or capture live news for a well-established newspaper/magazine. But before I reach this dream, I have to take baby steps. And I'll start with [dauntingly] putting up my albums and portfolio online for all the world to see.

Because, hey - we all start somewhere.

And I'm really, really excited about this.

Best wishes for you and me!
