I can’t believe it’s already autumn! My mind is still stuck on summer and the beautiful weather we had (especially in Montreal). Although time flew and I ran like a headless chicken from one weekend to another, I tried to slow down, stop and smell the flowers. I’ve encountered a diversity of flowers this summer. Though it might seem like a boring or merely ordinary experience to stand before flowers and simply look at them, I found myself in awe of their beauty, and to take the time to appreciate the latter has gotten me in reflection mode.

She looked pleasantly surprised. When I thanked her for the compliment, she asked me, “How are your pictures nicer? Did you buy a new camera?” I happily replied, “No, I became a better photographer.”
For the longest time, I feared not improving as a photographer. Sometimes, it is difficult for me to say that I am a professional photographer because, first, hello imposter syndrome, and second, I don’t take photos for a living.
