“Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Willing is not enough; we must do.”

It have been a while since I applied to be a photographer in my university newspaper called The Torch. Honestly, the main intention to join the Torch is to seek more knowledge about photography from fellow friends. I meet Shela, she is an incredibly kind person. I found that She plays an important role to transform me into a better photographer. From zero knowledge to a little good background about photography. She told me the basic setting to take a good newspaper photos (which is different from leisure photos), she taught me how to use my Nikon D5000 better. I owe her so much in the Torch second issue because with her help, my 3 photos were able to appear in the newspaper.
I’m feeling so glad that everyone congratulate me on this achievement. Things that I could imagine it can happen to me.
But, at the same edition of the newspaper, my nasheed group also appears. I didn’t feeling so great about that because, honestly, it is better for me to show photos taken by me other that my face appears in the newspaper out of so many faces in IIUM. Why this must be happened to me? Dear God?
Back to my job at The Torch, I feel that everyone is welcoming me as new member. As long as I work professionally, I think I would never get any trouble. It was so great to meet great new people and friends there. I never ever feel disappointed to spend my semester left joining The Torch. I hope, I can be a better photographer, capture lovely images that make everybody happy.
