Photography – A hobby lost

Photography was one of my favorite hobbies. I do not do any post production, no alterations to the visuals of the photos, no filters.

Armed with my Nikon D90, I would shoot anything from sunset to animals. I don’t really enjoy shooting posed shots. Cannot seem to capture the moment for the person.

To me, photography was a way to capture that moment in time. A moment which I want to preserve. Sunrise and sunset were my favorite subjects when it came to shooting. Imagine waking up before the sun’s up to capture that golden hue.

I love warm colors. The yellow, the orange. There is always a clear definition of how a perfect sunset must look like. It was as though every photo has its own composition even before the shot was taken.

I loved the visits to the zoo and birdparks. Animals are such nice subjects. There is no pretense. They do not need to look good. They just do.

After by surgery, photography will never be the same again. I cannot look through the viewfinder with crystal clear eyes anymore. Everything is blur and tainted with black spots and veils.

It might be something I can never get back. Photography lost.

My D90 is still with me. Albeit old, its still working, and I doubt I will sell it. After all, it is my one and only DSLR.

I miss going out to capture shots like these…

Photography is just one of the many things I will lose in this journey.
