I have to start challenging myself.

17/100 (03.17.09)

I started this trip to get out from comfort zone...
To start something new and exciting...
But somehow... I feel so comfortable now...
I am not pushing myself enough...

I am not pushing myself enough physically and artistically...
I don't think I am an artist... I don't want to be called as an ARTIST.
but... photography is a form of art.
Therefore, whether I want myself to be an artist or not.... my work will be considered as Art...

To create something that's meaningful...
Not just easy and beautiful looking... but yet something that has stories and forces behind them...

From the early photos I've first encountered... the ones that touched my heart...
Not because they were gorgeous images but they were very strong, bold, and meaningful...
I need to start working towards my goal.. my dream...
can't just stay above the surface and keep making that's easy for me...
I need to start putting myself out there... with everyone ... to see everything... and feel what they are feeling...

That's what I need to start doing now...

Thank you very much for making me realize this again!
