To be honest, I’m not quite into taking selfies. Not because I’m not confident about the way I look like. It’s just because I think photography is about freezing the moment, being authentic and reflecting feelings inside. There are more things worth recording or photoing than our faces. Besides, with so many photo editing apps available, we can actually change the way we look like by applying filters or effects, selfies have lost its meaning, we are not like ourselves any more.

Yes, I’ve been thinking about taking a professional photography class for a long time. Because I’m huge fan of travelling. Whenever I have some time free, I would always like to go somewhere new, somewhere I haven’t visited before to explore and experience different cultures and life styles. With excellent photography skills, I think I can turn my journey into a fascinating and exciting story, and maybe I could be a web celebrity someday because of that.
