I sold my camera for my studies

Greeting,

The quick way to tell my story is i sold my camera to further my studies and highly regret it. I find it hard to restart from the bottom without my tools(photography). I plead to kind folks who are willing to help me to regain my passion.

Below is the full story

Hi, my name is farid i started photography since i was 16(2010) with my family's camera. Since then i have worked various job, collected money and upgrade my gears. I would consider my self as a intermediate level photographer. Do check my website to see some of my work! http://faridamsyar94.wixsite.com/myphotography

After i finished my study in the year of 2016 in Professional Communication i decided to make photography as my full time profession. It was hard as it was fun, pays varies from cheap to highly profitable. However it was unstable to maintain a constant stream of income. Holidays are great since there are many weddings and all but most of the time i had to ask people for jobs.

Mid 2018 my family and i had a discussion, they decided that the best course of action is for me to persue my study in post grad university doing masters. They would support my daily expense but however it is still quite expensive to be a student. I needed to sell my camera and lens. It was a hard decission.

From the sell of my gear, half of it went to my study fees, the rest was used to buy myself a laptop(i use a home pc for my job before). However as day pass i realize that there is a void in my heart, not being to do what i love sucks. It is not the same as using my phone for photography. No.

Photography is more than that, the age of mobile phones taking over a camera's purpose is still far. I need your help to help me buy a camera. I know that this is a selfish request since there are more worldy emergencies and people who need helps more than i do. Do tend to them, however those who can sympathize with my "first world problem" and are able to, i plead to you, please fund me.
