You don't make a photograph just with a camera. You bring to the act of photography all the pictures you have seen, the books you have read, the music you have heard, the people you have loved.

~A simple...
A man who chose his career in photography was opposed by his family. He is a freelance photographer and a degree holder too. But his strong desire made him choose his profession in photography.
He was confident enough in his passion and said "only he can understand the joy that every picture he click through the lens brings". His Parents who too opposed him at first lately acknowledged his feelings and strong passion for photography then supported him.
He started his photography skills when he was pursuing his degree. He knows that holding a degree is important. So he made photography his part-time profession during his college days.
Now he is a 28 years old man who is still longing to achieve in his career facing little success and lots of failure. He was familiar only with a few people because every weekend his articles would be published in the magazines. Though he was also a freelancer only to earn for his needs and to send some of his earnings to his parents…
One day while he was clicking some photos outside his house, a 21 years old boy named Hemanth came to meet him.
Hemanth spoke about him and his photographic passion to the man. But the man was surprised why Hemanth was talking about him to the man. Then he asked for what reason Hemanth came to meet him.
Hemanth replied that he wanted to learn about photography skills from that man. The man said casually that he was not so famous.
Hemanth said that he was following all his magazines and so he was interested to learn skills from that man.
The man accepted and mentioned some conditions to him. The man said that he will not teach by sitting in one place and asked Hemanth to enter into the field work. So that he can be practical and know how to handle the camera according to the man's instructions.
Hemanth said okay for all his conditions. The man asked about Hemanth's parents' wishes. He said that his parents were against his wish and also added a line that "Only we can understand how much joy every photo that we click through that lens brings, This can't be understood by anyone".
The man was surprised about the words said by him and told him that This is what he told to his father and mother at Hemanth's age
Hemanth smiled. Also the man told Hemanth to convince his parents.
Then the man and Hemanth travelled to many places to click the different photographs. The man was recognised among many people.
Hemanth learnt many tips and tricks from the man.
Then the man attended a contest "urban wildlife" which was conducted by a wildlife institution. He participated in that contest and sended his photographs to the institution.
After a few days, the participants who participated in the contest were called to attend for the valedictory function to know who was the winner.
Every participant including the man and his student went to attend the function.
Every participant's pictures are displayed one by one to the audiences.
The contest was judged by the institution and some famous wildlife photographers.
After displaying everyone's pictures, they decided to announce the winner.
The man was very humble and simple and he didn't have any tension in his face. But Hemanth was in a tense mood. He asked the man, Sir , how are you so cool?'' Don't you have tension?
The man smiled and replied "I have Experienced my success and failures, everything happens for good".
Hemanth admires his words...

Sir, congratulations, Hemanth said…
Ram said thank you.
Ram was invited to the stage. The judges were happy to honour the award to him. Ram feels proud as it was his third biggest award.
One of the judges recognised him and said that he followed Ram's photographs in the magazine. Ram was happy to hear this from the judge who is also a famous photographer.
Ram invited Hemanth to the stage and introduced him as his student to the audience.
Ram received a cash prize of Rs.2.5 lakhs along with a gold medal and trophy.
After receiving the award he continued his work as usual.
Whenever his photographs appear on the last page of a magazine he feels happy about what he did. But after that function the next day Hemanth collected few magazines and came to meet Mr.Ram
He greeted Hemanth and asked what was in his hand. Hemanth showed all the magazines that Ram's image now appeared as the cover photo of the magazine.
Now Ram was recognised by everyone. Few students came to join Ram's class to learn the skills. Though he was not interested to take class, Ram said the conditions that he told Hemanth earlier when he came to join his class.
Hemanth feels very much proud to be a student of Ram.
Pointing the cover photos of the magazine Ram said, This is what I said that "everything will be fine one day and happens for good".
