Photojournalism
Photography is the first thing that made me fall in love with journalism. I love being at every event and capturing each and every memory and emotion.
Over the years, I've learned how to implement good photography composition on the spot and become a pro at manual settings.

Concluding Thoughts
I plan to do photography forever, whether it is my main job or a side gig, it's something I will never stop doing. I've gone from standing far off to the side and using sports mode to getting to as close as the action as I can, implementing strong composition and helping others with their manual settings.
