First Blog Post on the New Site
Ever since discovering street photography, for the first time ever, I feel like I have real control of my life. Before any of this it felt like I was never able to make my own choices. Society, family, friends and tradition telling you the clothes to wear, food to eat and career to get into.
Photography is my main platform of sharing how I view the world. But photography is still just one small sliver of life and don't want it to completely define me as a person.
There's still so many things in life that I want to do aside from photography. There's still so many books and films to see that I've missed out on all these years. Many of life's hidden gems has been piled over by current affairs, social media trends and mainstream news.
The same way I'm sharing interesting moments through my photography, the purpose of this website is to share other interesting things that I have crossed paths with that you might find meaningful as well.
I had a website early on but was using it for the wrong reasons. Yes, having a website is cool but if you don't have a clear purpose of having one, you’re just paying rent for a house that you’re too busy to live in.
My purpose of having a website now?
Blogging.
I want to be authentic as possible to whoever sees my content but most importantly myself. This will be the proof of the success. But every photo that I post daily and everything I typed in these blog posts will be proof of the journey. People will think I was just an overnight success, but everything I have posted online is proof that I believed in myself before anyone knew who I was.
