Giving Up Photography?!!!

I have been rather busy recently ever since the school term started and there had been a lot of tension and stress with my project work as the expectation for my prototype is getting higher and higher. Studies wise, taking 2 subjects this semester seems too much to cope with as one of the subjects just keep giving us assignment after assignment.

Besides that, I have been rather depress recently, not sure why too. I am really very tired. What is worse is that during the last Sunday Fashion Photography lesson shoot at Fort Canning, I find that all the photos are not up to my expectation and standard, what is wrong with me...

With all these stress and setback and lack of time, I really thought of taking a break in photography and giving it up...

BUT, luckily, after seeing Stanley(Hosea) photo in Clubsnap of a shot taken at night, it just motivated me to pick up my gears and go for a night shoot. So, I put down everything and went to an area near my house known as No-Man's Land to do my night shoot. This area had been scheduled for development recently and I had really miss out so many chances to take photos here before those tractors and bulldozers came in. :(

The area had been fenced up, but I managed to locate a big opening at the front gate and I just crawl in and start taking photos from 10:30pm until 1am plus. It feel so good and I felt really relaxed and energetic. I feel alive again. I guess I haven't been taking my time to enjoy the nature landscape and the beauty of the night. I can feel the satisfaction in every shot that I took. I feel passionate about photography once again.

I am thankful that I really make the move to go out for the shoot earlier. I guess I WILL NOT think of giving up photography. No way I am giving up this passion of mine. :)
