Don't Live Behind the Lense


An authentic me is a doer. A go-getter.

I don't live behind the lense of my camera, I am the subject of the picture. 

 

An authentic me is a challanger.

Someone who doesn't except the boundries made by others for me.

MY boundries have no limits.

 

An authentic me is adventerous. 

Someone who isn't afraid to take that  leap  into the unknown and be intrepid.

I am pumping with adrenaline, I am alive. 

 

My advice to those living their lives behind the lense; lives overconcerned with angles and filters and lighting:

Don't. Because for that one perfect selfie you just took, you missed out on a lot of great opportunities that could have been captured on the best camera known to man: your memory. 

Don't live your life behind the lense.
