The turning point came when a professional photographer friend told me I had an eye for photography and encouraged me to try it. I didn’t act on her advice immediately, but I did a few years later. That’s when I started to understand the true power of images that tell stories.

Everyone is unique, and it is up to us to identify our strengths and weaknesses. Paying attention to our weaknesses will affect the lifespan of what we do unless we want a change to transform our weaknesses into strengths instead. If this is not what you will do, work on your strengths instead, improve them, and be the best version of yourself.

Yes, I have a library of photos I took, which I am proud of, but none left an impression or resonated with me. Yes, they garner likes and positive comments on my social media pages, but none leave an impression or resonate with me. Then, after years of working as a photographer, I matured creatively and started to take a few steps back, breathe, and observe all the little things around me.
