I want a Sony digicam. Or a handicam would do. You have no idea how much it means to me to capture anything and make them look beautiful, even if it's only in the photo. It means much to me to be able to capture stillness for a second. It means much to remember these things and to be able to share it with you. That's why I want my own digicam so bad. We have a family digicam, but I don't feel like it's mine. Plus, it's not really on the latest side.
Speaking of cameras, I want to be a photographer when I grow up. I was thinking of jobs the other day, and nothing seemed to fit me. I thought of being a lawyer. Heck no. It wouldn't fit my lifestyle, even if it would fit my headstrong personality. A politician maybe? No. That's one job my mum wouldn't approve for me. And thinking of actually making leaflets and posters with my face and name plastered in them gives me the chills. A doctor? Hell no. I never wanted to be a doctor. A pshychologist? Hmmm. Still in the medicine department. But I'm also considering this one.
So I ended up thinking of photography. It has long been one of my options, and I got encouraged when people kept on telling me how good I was in taking photos. Graphic designing has always been a dream, even as a young girl, believe it or not. I loved drawing designs and backgrounds and conceptualizing things in my young mind. But I do not know how to draw. Can that be a drawback?
But I was thinking that these two jobs that I want aren't really stable as to working in the office and becoming an employee. But this is the first time that I really felt the drive to be someone I wanted to be. I want to capture the beauty of anyone, anything, everything! I'm not used to being the subject of photos, I would much rather being behind the camera. The person behind the beautiful picture. Kind of like being a director.
Andy Warhol is a famous American painter who defines
Pop Art. He is famous for depicting celebrities and daily objects differently,
as the one shown above: the can of Campbell's soup. I also loved reading about
his works about American mythology, which according to him includes Mickey Mouse
and several more legendary animated and iconic figures, equivalent to the heroes
and gods of Greek , Roman and Norse mythology.
I am inspired by Andy Warhol's works. And one day, some day, I'll be the Andy Warhol of my generation. Heck, even of the Philippines, if there's no one yet. You know what I'm going to do? I'm going to take photos and edit them into something that I can say that is truly me. Yeah, that's what I'm going to do.
What now, I better start working on it.
