What made me change from an amateur cell-phone shooter to a keen enthusiast on the long road to becoming a professional is the beauty of each moment. Photography is not my hobby, but my lifestyle’s most throbbing, most alive example. I’d like to expand on what I’m trying to say here. I’ve been pursuing the path of meditation since I was 18, and only few years ago after 10 extreme days of Vipassana meditation, I actually came in touch with the notion of spirituality, that is, to live each moment. To live each moment, one needs the awareness of each moment, awareness of each pulsating sense within one’s body and mind. In meditation, I sit down, relax, breathe and then become aware of these moments, each and every moment that forms the present time continuum. My life’s philosophy must have clicked when I started clicking photographs a year ago with a Nikon d3000 camera, as a part of a 10 day short photography course. I won’t say that I had an epiphany when I took photos, but I did know in my heart that this is something I can do all my life and not get bored of it, like sitting for 10 hours each day in the meditation hall and still enjoying that pulse of every moment.
