Chapter 167 Passion Driven

   I did not have to stand for long before a cab drove by and I hailed it down,I gave the cab guy direction and hopped in. I got settled down and he drove off.

     I was so restless while I was in the cab and I did not know why,I occasionally glanced at my time to see if it's moving or not, because it looks like it's on a stand still.

    Finally the cab driver drove into my office driveway and I got down,paid my fares and enter my office not without taking a careful look at the surrounding, It's been a week I came to work.

   I opened my office and walked in and I met everything the way I left it. The painting I made for Chris and Gina is still here,I will find away to take it to them. It's was supposed to be their victory gift from me but since I could not deliver it,I will wait for any opportunity to come and I will deliver it definitely.

    I cleared my table and sat down to start work. I put on my system and relaxed back on my seat waiting for it  to boot,my system has been off for a week now so it will take time to boot. It got booted and I began working.

     There is this photo I have been working on for a while now,the client has specifically told me how she wants it and she is going to get it the way she wants it. My clients has not ever complained on work done and I want it to remain like that.

  Being a photographer has given my life so much meaning,it's not about the money I make from it but the joy that comes from it. When you are passion driven, success will be your attach name,so learn to love what you do.

     I did not just start photographing,I was born in era where you don't keep memories through photo,I have always long for what will remain memorable without fading and I discovered how to.

     I had missed my way home at age five and got lost in the middle of nowhere,in my means to find my way home I stumbled on something I later learnt to be a camera. I did not know who or how it was left there but as a child who was so curious, nothing get pass me without me knowing what it is, I picked it up and later find my way home.

    Up till now,I still think that the reason I have to get lost was for it because my curiosity led me to my passion and the first photo I took after I learnt how to operate it was Glamorous,when she was still my sweet little niece and I still kept that photo until now.

     So from time to time I got better and looking after Gina has given me enough time to discover my passion and I made it as a means of living because living in the human territory will swallow you and split you out so you something that will keep the mind and body together.

    I got done with the editing and I went in search of something else on my system,I continued scrolling through until I found it.

    It was picture of Glamorous,the first photo of her. I was nineteen and she was five,that was fourteen years after I found the camera. It was one lovely afternoon and she was running around I felt of keeping the memory alive so I took a photo of her and it stays there for long time,I later made a hard copy of it.

    I stared at  the pics and all the memories I had with her came rushing,my tears pricked my eyes and I let it down. I can't believe that she has to go like that. She was the reason I lost her parents and Gina's parents and that was not enough, I had to lose her too.

    It's only Gina I had left and I am going to hold on to her,I can't kept blaming myself from the lost I have had. It's time I let go because this past one week I had been weeping not only because I am without a mate but from losing her.

   I wiped my tears and stared longer on it and close the folder.

    "Glamorous I hope you get reborn and have a second chance and maybe right all the wrongs you have done. I never stopped loving you my dear niece,have a nice time at the underworld, my dear"
