I wanted to be a scientist. I did a thesis on lions. But I realised photography can show things writing can't. Lions were my professor of photography.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I chose photography over writing. I had to make a living.
The lions taught me photography. They taught me patience and the sense of beauty, a beauty that penetrates you.
When I was a teenager, I loved photography and writing.
I always wanted to be a writer.
As long as I can remember, I wanted to be a writer.
I didn't do so well in the academic world, so I think the only way I could express myself was through visual art - anything I could get my hands on, whether it was glassblowing, sculpture, painting, or photography. I always wanted to be a painter. Or a farmer.
All I really wanted to do was wildlife photography.
I would love to study photography.
Writing is my profession. Photography is my hobby.
I always wanted to be a photographer. While I was at school, I got a lab-monkey holiday job in the darkrooms at the 'Independent.' What they taught me there was: you need to get the whole story in one frame.
