I am a complete ADDICT. To beautiful images. One of the things I do on a daily basis is visit other photographer’s blogs to view new photos. I devour new images like any malnutritioned child would. The desire to create new and more beautiful images is always within me. Even if I have created beautiful photos in a shoot, I am always seeking to out-do myself in the next.

Where did this craving for imagery start? I am not sure. As I was growing up, I never considered myself to be really creative. I went to science stream in school, and at one point in my life, thought that I might study mathematics. Haha, THANK GOD I changed my mind. I don’t know what came over me then.

My sister had some influence in developing my appreciation for the arts. She worked as a producer in a production company and sometimes I would follow her on shoot to see what they were doing. But now, on hind sight, I think my family’s pretty creative. My mom is a wonderful cook, creating new recipes on her own, winning awards etc. And she used to create handicraft made out of shells. Little dolls and treasure chests.

My sister is also creative, thinking of new ideas for TV programs and films. My brother, though he works in a seemingly non-creative line, loves music and dancing. My dad is probably the most ‘non-creative’ person in the family.

I think one of the worst things to happen to me would to be blind. What would happen if I cannot see colours or shape anymore? That would be devastating.

Better appreciate what I have now…. just in case. You never know what might happen to you tomorrow.
