Sorry, I don't get it. I don't get how people always associate me as a photographer at every single event that I go to. Yes, I have a strong passion for photography and I enjoy it very much. But things like,"Aiya, Nadiah be photographer lor," or things like "Eh why you don't take pictures? You're the one with the camera what?" These things are making me distance myself from my passion sometimes. I love photography with all my heart and I love my DSLR so much, you don't even understand. But I don't take pictures just for the SAKE of taking pictures. I prefer to spot the opportunity to take pretty pictures, not junk pictures I don't even want to post up on my blog or elsewhere. And please, since I'm the photographer, the least you should do is respect my decisions. I may have drafted out the type of photographs that I want to take or the 'moment' to snap a good picture that actually tells a story, so don't you dare tell me to pick up my camera and shoot. Yes, I can simply press the delete button if I'm not satisfied with the result. But I hate looking at pictures that I took that aren't.. up to my standard. It demoralises me. I wish I can explain this to the people who have constantly shadowed me while I stand with my camera waiting for an opportunity. Same thing goes for organising events. Yes, I was the event coordinator for B.I.G and yes, I organised a photography expedition during my time in VC. But now you're expecting me to do all the work too? See I have a passion for these things but it doesn't mean that I HAVE to be THE person to do it. Or am I wrong to think this way? While people nudge me and say,"Eh you organise ah!" and start to point fingers, I can either take it as a compilment (that they trust my capabilities) or feel like they're pushing the responsibilities to me. I'm probably just bitter about some things but this is one thing that annoy me a lot. I hide my feelings on this issue for countless times but I have never expressed this to anyone yet. Perhaps I should. Before my passion for photography and event organising vanishes. And truth to be told, organising events is something that I really enjoy. I love being part of the action behind the scenes and seeing drafts and plannings become a reality. And when the event ends, you feel a great sense of achievement. I have never been so proud to have become part of B.I.G as an Events Coordinator. In fact, during my interview, I actually requested to be part of Logistics. HAHAHA! A small girl like me in Logistics? I think they might've laughed at me when i left the room! :P |
