photography

the pictures i submit have been taken 14 years ago with an old canon, no digital, i had no knowledge about cameras at all at this time. i was 17 and still had no idea about what i would wanna do in my life. i briefly thought bout becoming a photographer, since i thought it would be nice to look at pictures later in life and remembering feelings and thoughts that one had when the pictures were taken,but my dad told me not to go for it,cause i would not have talent and it would be a waste, and since i always did what he told me , i never went for photography except during this trip/. my dad gave me the camera, cause it did not mean anything to him and i started shooting. the images are more or less a picture of a picture since i dont have them in original anymore. i only had a copy in my design portfolio and i took a picture of the copy -that's why the quality is not really the best.
but all in all i am proud of them . feel free to check them out , and i hope u like them as much as i do. thanks very much
i did not have a good camera cause i was always too busy with life itself and training as for me taking a good valuable camera with me. but sure enough , most times during training, and especially on my long bike rides or runs in the early morning or at night . i would see all these beautiful images and the only pictures i take were in my mind . since these days i regret not having bought a camera all these years to capture the beautiful moments that our world has in store for us. for me pictures are more the thousand words. they capture emotions , feelings and silence in them. pictures let me dream , feel react in different ways they are my silent movie. i love pictures and collect postcards where ever i go ( cause like i sad till a few days ago i did not even had a good camera) pictures of animals and nature help me to understand this world and it secrets and i strongly believe they are necessary to give the people who live in this world an understanding of whats going on in this world. weather its good or bad , a picture of death, war or a picture of happiness. pictures need to be taken and shared for giving us the information on whats really going on.
a picture is a story , a feeling , a word , a memory . its the story behind the story , the script to the movie and so much more.
being a secret photographer is what i do, becoming a photographer in real is a dream come true. applying for this scholarship with a chance of learning what i love my biggest dream.
