“When people ask me how they can become a photographer, I almost never mention cameras, lenses, or technique.

I say, ‘If you want to be a photographer, first leave home.’ As Paul Theroux, a great writer and friend, further advises, “Go as far as you can. Become a stranger in a strange land. Acquire humility.

Leaving home really means that the photographer (or writer) has to wander, observe, and to paraphrase Theroux, concentrate on people in their landscape. That is what I try to achieve in my pictures.”

I've been reading travel blogs, tumblr-ing, looking at pictures of places around the globe, and reading back packer stories. Only God knows what damage that has done to my brain. Boy have I been corrupted. But really, I dont want to be sitting in my bedroom and watching the world pass me by as i grow old, just like that. Yes that sounds like a line from some cheesy love song but it's true! What's worse, I dont want to be taking pictures which are of the same genre every single time. I know I dont have so much ME-time, and my current job scope is not even anything along that line. But fuck it. I really want to travel.

If I do not manage to see the world before I get married (if ever that is) I think I will be an unhappy bride. I kid you not.

Damn I feel crappy. Haha!

Okay. I've side-tracked far too much. this wasnt my intention of blogging today actually.  Looking at the time, I dont think I'll be able to type another entry. shall put that on hold first. but I'll mark this down;

it's day 2,190 today.
With that, I Thank you ♥
