I just finished my final school year at Niagara College for the photography program. Over the course of the year I spent 12+ hours of every day working on photography or group projects or even just personal projects gaining experience and making sure that I make the best of the opportunities I have.
The drive I found in myself over the last 2 years is something unknown to me. I have never been so interested in something in such a way that I’m always striving for knowledge and practice. Having the skills to pursue a career in which I provide for myself and do something I love when I had assumed that I would spend most of my life doing work for someone else is a dream come true and a dream that I didn’t know I had wanted.
As mentioned in a previous blog post, I joined the photography program on a whim, I had never touched a DSLR camera before, I had never done anything creative or thought of myself as an artist. My life is profoundly different now with more purpose and drive than ever and that’s how I like it !
