Life Au Natural
As a kid, I have always been interested in and amazed by the wonder and beauty of the flora and fauna in nature. My Life, starting from my young budding ages till this day has been circling around nature, and I have always wanted to be a part of saving its hidden beauty for future generations as well. I remember sowing seeds and watching these plantlets grow to form very large trees bearing many colourful and luscious fruits that the fauna would usually chow and feast upon. This sight has always fascinated me. Recently, I have developed a new passion for photography. Although I do not have a professional camera, I started taking photographs using the camera on the phone. I started to get interesting in this new form of creativity during the one-month lockdown that was imposed the previous month. Since I could not go out, to enjoy myself and relieve some of the stress in my mind, I started to make the most of what was available within my reach to keep myself distracted from my problems, and also to stay occupied. Thus, this new passion was born into me. Although initially, the first few photos I captured were not the perfect ones, I am currently managing to improve this skill gradually with the aid of some YouTube videos and other photography tips and tutorials. I think that I am now getting the hang of it. I also wanted to develop my skill of making videos, so I decided to publish the photos that I took in my garden as a video. (Since the file size is quite large to upload, the video is in the form of a link).

I plan to further develop and polish this skill by watching some more videos on YouTube, browsing through some websites, and also contacting some professional photographers. I would be organizing the objects/events that I capture in different online albums, based on the genre of the photographs and also based on the different events as well. I am sure that this developing skill will help me to capture some important moments from my life, and I am certain that this will help to spread the importance of why we should protect the beauty of nature for many more future generations to come. I would also join several clubs that work towards protecting and preserving our common mother so that I could play a bigger part in saving our planet, and our only home.
