It's 5 in the morning right now, and damn, I still cannot sleep. Who knew 3 consecutive night shifts will ruin my already faulty body clock. Insomnia used to be my friend, though lately we've been having this love-hate relationship. But with my line of work, it's quite an advantage sometimes. =p
Okay, back to the topic. PHOTOGRAPHY.
A few years back, maybe 4 or 5 years ago, I really wanted to pursue this dream of becoming a photographer. I owned my first camera at the age of 3, wayyyy back when films are essential in taking pictures. I was very fascinated in capturing memories on film. Most especially preserving emotions thru photographs. I even considered taking a photography course in college before I ended up taking Nursing (which my family chose for me). I learned to love nursing, but somehow, the love for photography never went away.
I started to work in 2007, and since the pay in the Philippines is quite low, I didn't get the chance to get my own DSLR camera right away. Then in happened. Everybody suddenly had DSLRs in hand. People who were not interested in the art of taking pictures before started to take pictures. Everybody became a "pro".
At first it was exciting, knowing that my dream is now within reach. But as time passed, all the hype made me lose my interest. I didn't push thru with getting that camera. I felt like I was robbed of my dreams. And until now I don't know why.
Sure I still take pictures. Sure I will still get a DSLR camera. Sure I'm still interested in becoming a photographer. But now? It's just not a priority.
Do dreams change? I don't know. Maybe they do when people do.
