My Scholarship entry - A 'place' I have visited

Philippines | Thursday, January 10, 2013 | 5 photos

I am Christopher Niar, a Filipino, 35 years of age with a degree in Bachelor of Fine Arts. During my high school and college years, most of the time I have been making drawings and paintings, landscapes, still objects, living and non-living things to express my emotions and sometimes to communicate because I have this idea that every thing tells us a story. That is until I had my first SLR camera which was required in my Photography class, and everything was changed. Now my camera becomes my pencil, brush, and my paint. Instantly I fell in love with it. But when I finished schooling, I set aside photography to find a job that will provide financial stability for my family. Currently, I a married with two beautiful sons. Working in a drugstore as a pharmacy assistant compensates fairly, but not totally happy with it. I am longing to reunite with my first love, which is Photography. So I decided to save some of my income to be able to buy a new DSLR camera. that I will going to use during my day-off just to satisfy my passion for creating visual images , but still my longing to engaged fully on this craft grow more inside me that is why I decided to resign and follow my heart.
