What do i want out of photography ( Paul's Last words)
I wanted to become a great photographer and a great teacher. However upon reflection, I could not care less about becoming a great photographer. I feel that my great purpose in this world is to become a great teacher– to share information, knowledge, and to continue my passion to contributing to some greater good. Of course I would like to take some amazing photographs and i strive hard to compete against myself (and not others) and become the best photographer I personally can be. However at the end of the day– I would say I am more passionate about education, philosophy, and sociology than photography. I feel that if anything– photography is simply a practical outlet in which I could express my views of the world. Also on top of that, I've noticed that the greatest artists and photographers in history have often had horrible family and personal relationships. I have also had a horrible history regarding personal and family issues. But due to this my biggest priority is to my own family. I used to want to become rich, famous, and a great photographer – but over time I've relized these things pale in comparison to the love i feel for my family and being a Dad to my wonderful children. Bye. P
