Remeber; don't rush it.

I love photography. I take pictures at every given moment. My idols when it comes to photography are;
Robert Capa. Abbas
They are two such different photographers. Capa being a war photographer and Abbas being a photojurnalist who covers political beings and religion. As he said; "My photography is a reflection, which comes to life in action and leads to meditation. Spontaneity - the suspended moment - intervenes during action, in the viewfinder."
They are both members of the fantastic international photographic cooperative; Magnum Photos.
I truly admire this photo team. It consists of the worlds best photographers and I wish that I one day may become such a good photographer that I can become a member of this team.
To do this I have to finish school and take more pictures. Analyze my works and figure out what can I do better and what elements should I work with. I guess I have to give time a chance and not want things to happen straight away all of the time.
Suppose one of the negative things about almost dieing is that you become afraid of dieing, yet not. And as a result of this you want things to happen straight away all of the time. It may be that this is just a normal thing at my age. It feels like time is running away from you. But if you do stress everything time will disappear before you've noticed it begun.

"If your photographs aren't good enough, you're not close enough."
-Robert Capa
