For a while now, I’ve been thinking about my career. Is what I do now, what I want to do for the rest of my life? If look at my skill sets, it does suit me well. I also love the industry I’m in. But I couldn’t help but feel that something is missing. I…
I’ve always wondered what’s the point of roaming the earth to do crap you don’t really derive any pleasure from like studying or working.

I managed to spend some time with the Canon…
