I got home early today. My legs still ache probably because I played hard yesterday in our weekly badminton game with my friends from my first job. It's been tiring again, as usual. I even had a hard time thinking what to write today. Up to this point I actually have nothing in mind. All I could think of right now is the course that I will be taking up on August. I will formally be studying photography. I want to master that craft. And I want to excel in that field. I am praying to God now that He will give this one to me. He has never failed me... not even once.
As a kid I've been taking pictures of people, mostly of my classmates, friends and family. Then the fascination grew into scrapbook making. I have like gazillions of them. I believe that taking pictures are like immortalizing that special moment captured in it. And later I discovered the beauty of taking self portraits. Not only my friends become subjects but myself too. I've been taking pictures of me with very nice results. Even I sometimes could not believe it. And the fascination grew even more when I learned how to use Photoshop. I became so addicted to it. It's like I can edit pictures forever without even noticing the time. And after 25 years I finally realized that this is something that I really want to do. Something that I know I could excel. Something that I really love to do. I am so passionate about it. I want to become a professional photographer.
I pray that everything will be well. And that my dreams would come true. I remember that song "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" saying that dreams really do come true especially if you have God in your life.
Here's something to inspire you all. It sure sparked hope in me. And it made me smile.

The Man
I am Zham. Friends call me Zhammy. Some know me as Zharmin. But i prefer to go by my nickname "ZHAM". I'm an artist. A musician. A photographer. And most of all God's servant - a worshiper. It's all about my Maker. My Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Well who am I? I am not famous. I'm an ordinary person with extraordinary things to share. I'm a History Maker. Aren't we all are? What matters to me is the things that I do... the legacy I leave behind... my history.
Photography is one gift that I am really passionate about.
I started taking photos when my parents gave me this film camera when I was 7 years old. But it was only later when I got so serious about it. It's really a passion.Everyday is an opportunity to take beautiful photographs. Everyday is a great new day to learn. Every new day gives inspiration to improve my craft.
