CREATIVE: 10 things I would like to tell my younger self

10 things I would like to tell my younger self: about life & photography.

  1. Don’t do drugs, you will only lose 5 years of your life.
  2. Walk your own path. Don’t follow people & fashionable trends thinking it will make you more popular. Don’t be scared to go it alone.
  3. Realise you have an ego and it can control the decisions you make in your life.
  4. Don’t smoke cigarettes, just don’t.
  5. Swim every day. Start NOW!
  6. Don’t waste $$ buying expensive gear & things to feed your ego & impress people. Use that money to travel.
  7. Dream big & don’t doubt yourself, believe anything you can dream is possible. But remember it will take time, effort & hardwork.
  8. Photograph every day. Shoot for yourself & shoot from the heart. Trust your own judgement on what makes a good image.
  9. Read a lot & study the masters.
  10. When in doubt, take the photo. You will never get that moment back.
