I have titled this text, who are we?
Not really sure why I have named this, I am having a pretty strange day, keep thinking who am I? What am I doing with myself? I have had a pretty 'down' day in the office, I am normally a bubbly upbeat person in the office but today that person wasn't around.
It seems that my line manager new somehow what was on my mind. We had a brief but inspiring conversation after work about finding ourselves and understand what our passion is and making that passion something we do in our everyday life. I have always thought being a photographer is my dream and to some extent it is. Photography is my passion, I love every aspect of the art and the science behind it. I feel I have the potential to make this passion my dream but I have been saying this since 2011 - it is now 2015... at what point in your life do you either, stop saying; I'd love to do that one day/ I'll do that one day or actually make it happen. I feel like I have been repeating myself for the past four years and actually got nowhere with it.
I say to people I am a photographer, but am I? Yes I can take a half decent photo with an expensive camera, but lets face the iphone can now take just as good of a shot and most 10 year old kids now have iphones. It is now that I need to decide if that is my passion, my dream or have I been telling myself this for so many years that I have just convinced myself that. I could ramble on about my views and have many arguments with myself but I won't. I will get back to this when I have had some time to re-evaluate my life... well not quite, just re-evaluate my passion!
