I have a Dream

I have a dream... I have a dream

somehow until today
i am still dreaming my dream
living with nature, and express it with my photograph
but i'm not yet living it
because for me, it's like a "too far away" kind of dream
to reach

lot of things happen, everything change, time getting faster and even ourselves didn't relize that we also grown up already

Some People used to says Dream is important to being succesfull

but today it seems different,

when i was a kid, i used to have a lot of dream until i grown up as a teenager
i once want to be a Professional Basketball athlete, but it "extinct" due to the injure

as times goes by, most people talked more about something they called "reality"
everyone live to face the "reality" everyone struggle with it... and everyone will change in it
some will be better, but some will be worst than before they know about "reality"

but...
What does this "reality" actually means? what is "Succesfull"?

there are so many definition to explain that two kind of word
but these days, i think most people would says "money" at the end as the parameter

most people will get to that point

it could be true...

so...
that's it?

so this is all about?
so where is "Dream?" where is " Passion?"
where is "FAITH?"
They Sink into this "REALITY"

there is an illustration of scenario of two people talking each other
Man a : "hey buddy, what is your dream anyway?"
Man b : "nahh.. no time for that, u keep dreaming and you will fell behind, that stuff is for kid my friend, nowadays people are racing to the top, that's the reality"

Man a : "hmmm... u got a point there, so how do you live now? "
Man b : " too busy man... got a lot of stuff work to do, i'am an accounting now (no hard feeling for accounting person)"

Man a : "what? you're an accounting person now eh? i thougt you want to be a musician, u have a great voice right? and you are great on some istrument right?
Man b : " that's the old times man, but it doesn't have a good prospect in our country, but when it comes to an accounting, all companies need it "

Man a : " ohh, but you hate accounting since high school right?"
Man b : " What can I do? i have a family to feed, that's life man, we must face the reality"

Man a : " yeah.., sometimes it doesn't happen as it planned to be, well, as long as you live it with your faith, then it should be alright"
Man b : " what? faith? I thought it was a joke... i even don't know how to spell it anymore buddy, there will be no such word in the reality my friend, everything became different when we live the real life... we can't depend on anyone or anything, even God, you just can depend on yourself"

Man a : "Woww woww woww, hold on a sec, I thought you are some kind of an active person in your Church? rite?"
Man b : "well, used to be man"

Man a : " you sure have changed man, not the person I used to know"
Man b : " Yeah,what can i do? life thought me this way"

Man a : " God Bless You "
Man b : "..........."

(only illustration)

that story, maybe it wasn't us
but it might be us, after 5 years? 10 years? or more

Reality, may have taken our dream away from us
maybe it will take our hobbies too

but when it takes our Faith? think twice, no, a lifetime

anyway...
we could keep on dreaming, when we face the reality, as a motivate to live, maybe God will give us the permission to living it someday...
we never know, but HE knows what the best for us.
i keep dreaming on myself

my teacher said, "why bother? dreaming is free"

If God let me
I want to see more about Earth that He created
I want to see more about Nature
I want to see more about people, about animal, places, sea, forest, iceberg, culture, food!, a lot more
I want to see more, and more and more

Through this Photograph I Praise God
and through this, i believe and knew that I have a Gift
I'll try to Improve my skill that God had gave for me
for the Glory of His name

anyway
my Dream is
Wildlife photographer
I won't stop Dreaming
cause it free

My Portfolio In Photography

My name is Darmawan Tjong, Photography had changed my life and perspective of seeing something. I learn to use my eyes better and better of the way seeing something..
to make something simple, and change it with another way of seeing something and make it better to see.

In photography there are so many classification, there are wedding journalism, product photography, model, architecture and many more.

In this time i've got something to share in wedding and Pre-wedding Photography, to see how the power of love can make someone so different in a positive way. The concept and something simple will make it great to see

So, enjoy my artwork

Special Thanks To Agustino and Indri
