for emergency use but to take photos. Well, that is the reality.

what you want, it does not matter if they appreciate it or not the important is
you express yourself through fashion of your chosen life style. You do not need
to expect from others instead expect the love and respect from yourself that no
one can change because that’s you.”

lives especially for students but the most important thing to remember is to
know your limitations from being free. There are many lives that changed in

model, and artist because they practiced the way of life through photographs.
