These two activities consume my daily life. During my high school, I learned how to take a picture and how to use camera from my brother who was our high school yearbook photo editor. Luckily, I became a photo editor too for my senior year.
These activities were what made my life innovative and mind-blowing every single moment I'm working in these areas. Taking pictures in every angle possible and photoshopping intensively non-stop. All these culminate to my current skills in photography where the price, lens, and technology of the camera doesn't matter. Rather my real skills in setting and seeing the pictures form in my mind are utilized.
I am passionate about photojournalism. Photojournalism is a particular form of journalism that creates images in order to tell a story. It is about capturing the human experience and making your own art; not just capturing the creations of others. Through my photos people can understand what I am talking about and basically they can tell the whole story.

I always told my high school photographer that “A picture is worth a thousand words”.
They knew that I was not saying that writing was not important, but that pictures get people’s attention first. Through the pictures you can explain the stories and events. This page is covered with many pictures. Through these photos we can feel people’s excitement, energy, and enthusiasm. Sometimes words are not necessary if you can explain with just one photo.
I'm so excited you are writing about this! I have honestly always wanted to learn more about photography, so I can't wait to read your future posts! Your passion for photojournalism really came through in your writing. Your pictures are fantastic!
