How Rediscovering Old Memories Brought Me Back to Photography

Photography was always my dream, my passion, and the one thing that made me feel alive. From the moment I picked up a camera as a teenager, I knew I wanted to capture the world through my lens. It felt like a calling, one that filled me with purpose. However, as life often does, it took me in a different direction. After graduating from university, I was offered a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity in the United States to work as a product manager. It wasn’t my dream, but it was a well-paying job that my parents encouraged me to take. They said I shouldn’t pass up on such a big chance, and a part of me agreed. Photography seemed uncertain, and this job was security.
