We discussed about Cal Newport “Follow your passion is bad” in both lecture and workshop this week. He said we should think about what we should do after we get going instead of how are we going to start. So do we enjoy doing something because we are good at it, or are we good at doing something because we enjoy doing it? This got me thinking how did I get passionate to photography.

It all started six years ago, I was so interested in cars so I will take tons of photos every time I see a fancy car. My skill was slowly improving while I was taking photos with my phone camera. Until one day, the phone camera can’t seem to satisfy me anymore, and that’s when I got my first DSLR. I continued exploring the infinite possibilities of photography, looking for my own unique style of photography and improving my skills. Six years went by, photography is still one of the things I like the most.

As in this case, I got skillful at it after I got attracted to it but I’m sure everyone has their own ways to find their own passion, just like I mentioned earlier, enjoy doing something because of good at doing it. I would like to have that kind of experience too.
