Photography dream

hello all my name is Cameron

Ever since I was a young child I have also been different and very creative, I never really excelled at school as I was always thinking out side of the confined box they taught me to think in. When I was 12 my dad brought a Nikon D80 as his personal camera for him self to use on family outings etc, one day I decided to pick this camera up and taught my self the ins and out of the camera photographing anything and everything I saw such as birds, nature any and all insects to landscapes etc. Photography is my true passion as I've tried many other occupations in life and none of them stuck out for me in life I believe we all have a passion or let's say something one is really talented in and understands the ins and outs of, for me that's photography when I'm behind a camera I can create and imagine different pictures and situations in which to put together a photograph. I also feel extremely confident in the work I produce and doing photography has been my escape from depression and anxiety, a year ago I was held at gun point and all my photography equipment I spent almost three years of my life working dead end jobs to save up for were taken from me with in minutes I've been trying to save up again but the South African acconomy at the moment is not in my favour and everything I make has to go towards rent and living expenses so I'm unable to get even a third of the way to fund my self more photographic equipment. I would like to say I'm not begging but im at a stage where I will say I am im begging for a chance to get my dream up and going again even if I have to pay back every cent that is lent to me I will do it with a smile on my face as with new equipment I can earn a decent living and give back what I recieve I have a diploma in photography and ive been working as a qualified photographer for 7 years till I was robbed. I'm asking for any donations at all anything will be much appreciated in my aid to get my dream going and will be forever grateful for the assistance instead of even asking for the money if someone could fund me a camera I would also be forever grateful thank you for taking the time out to read my dream. Also all photos on my page are photos from my previous camera.
