Hello! Welcome to my photography website called Flickr.

Salutation World.

Today I am going to talk about a cool or boring story about my life/details so I have nothing better thing to do so, let's get started. I grew in a world called Canada, well you can say North America that I called Scarborough (EAST END) home to me. It all started way-way back from 2012 till 2016 when I was in high school (and then graduated). I was pursuing a hobby called Pixel Art (or 8 bit) and that is where you make art out of square grid paper of any character you like to draw and later on, I thought to myself like "Hey I wanted to pursue another hobby that is called Photography."

When the moment came into play for me, I realized that I wanted to shine like every photographer with amazing, beautiful pictures through the positive side of things. So by saying that, the time for me is to shine, I think photography is a lot of work. Next was when I started to look at Toronto based photographers meaning Toronto Photography or maybe other parts of the world based photographers where we live in. By scrolling through tons and tons of amazing, fantastic, wonderful pictures with content, I started to realize I can top that but the key to photography is not comparing to others, or how many likes you have, because people don't care if you are better than you so it is not a competition. Be yourself, do you what you wanted to do when you don't outstand the crowd.

Therefore, as said along I took my older sister iPod when I was in my teenage years like around 13 or 16 years old. It was one of the tools that I use and still, what I actually post on Instagram. It wouldn't be later that I started taking photos at the age of 17 on my iPod. That meaning said I do my best to improve and learn new things coming in my way. What I haven't gotten to the point is being confident in my adulthood life. What started out as a just for fun and then it turned into a hobby or maybe a career of it like I don't know yet. Photography you say hmmm...

Like what interests in what I wanted to shoot as a photographer. To be honest, I am into Street Photography, Sunset or Sunrise Photography, Reflection Photography or People Photography (noted not Portraits Photography).

In the end, I wanted to say I have always wanted to put my ideas on paper or on a Word Document by saving it on my USB stick. In my life starting my early photography year of 2016 or 2017, so technically you can say it's been 2 or 3 years since I been shooting pictures.

My advice to beginner photographers is to say...

"Shoot something you are interested in & not something weird unless you are into that kind of thing in such matter, go for it I am not forcing you".
