“I am a photographer.”

Someday soon you will speak these words.
Somebody soon you will bi a master of advanced photographic technique, and you will add the special dimension of seeing the world with the eye of a photographer.

And you will say:
“I am a photographer.”

Someday soon, some one will ask you:
“Why did you became a photographer?”

And you will answer:
“I became a photographer because it involved me in the entire world around me.
“I became a photographer because it provided me with food for may soul … and bread for my table.
“I became a photographer because it enabled me to observe the human condition and to record the parade of human events…”
