Dear my best friend,
There’re thousands of stars on the night sky
that I only can see, but cannot reach.
Like my dream.
Today, I research photography a bit and discover
there are a lot of great photographers
more than I thought.
They’re so talented and skillful.
Their photos are outstanding,
and their techniques are so damn perfect.
I surf some popular websites to learn some photography’s tips.
View photos of famous photographers in 500px.
Watch their tutorial videos on Youtube.
Try to learn their techniques as much as possible.
As I realize
there’s a vast ocean of talent between them and me
that I cannot shrink just by trying.
There’s a long road ahead which I don’t know where is the end.
Even not know how to get there.
It hurt me to imagine I would never be good as them.
Maybe, I am just a daydreamer.
Maybe, I should give up
and do something more realistic than being a photographer.
Honestly, now I just want to lie down on my bed all day,
and forget the world outside exist.
