A Year in Felix
How your photography has inspired mine.
Academically, this year has been quite tough. It is no exaggeration to say that it would have not been possible to stomach all of my exams and coursework deadlines without hobbies such as photography and Felix writing to keep me sane. However, keeping up with such endeavours is no easy task, and I must thank all of my fellow photographers who have submitted their photos to this section and who have inspired me to keep taking pictures. I must confess that, when coming up with themes, I usually had no idea what to expect or what I would submit myself. I found that this uncertainty kept things exciting whenever the first submissions started to come in. Then, at the end of the week, on the basis of whatever I received, I’d write my pretentious articles and interpretations. And simply by studying your pictures, I feel like I learnt more than I ever would by taking a hundred more photos of my own.
This collection is the reflection of your photography through my lens. I believe that the feelings, techniques, and thoughts behind your photos have made me think differently about mine. Embarrassingly, this is also my first time publishing my own pictures in this paper. Today then, I am not the all-seeing photography editor, but the student photographer, and I’m humbly submitting my pictures to you, the reader.
Special thanks go out to Charlotte P. and Jonah H., who submitted more photos than anybody else; I applaud your perseverance and admire your creativity. Finally, thank you to our Editor-in-Chief Jamie John, who has allowed me to make this section a reality, and has happily tolerated my consistently late article submissions. I should also mention all the other wonderful people at Felix who have helped me and my photography throughout the year, but there would be too many to list, so the only way for you to find out just how inspiring these people are, is to join the paper next year.
