Last Monday we had a
guest speaker in my class his name was Natan Dvir. He specializes in computer
graphics but he hated his job. The job he got was healthy for his wallet but he
didn’t like it after some time. He later picked up a camera for one of his
friends and started shooting and instantly fell in love with it. He was given a
job as a joke so he can get fired for it but they wanted to give him a chance.
He ended up doing amazing on his project, since then he was photographing all
over the world. Natan later went to Israel to photograph the injustice
happening there but the part that makes this so interesting was the fact that
he did this on his own, no assignment to do it nothing he just wanted to. So he
told us of how there was no one allowed to go passed a fence/border because
there was gun fire in the distance on the other side and there was this guy
there trying to get over because his baby just died and he needed to tell his
family.
I find it amazing that he is that devoted to his
photography that he would go and quit his job in the middle of his carrier and
go to find what he really wants to do. I also find it crazy at the fact that he
dropped everything to go and photograph a war, as I said it wasn’t like he had
an assignment to be there so he wasn’t making any money off it he was just
there to be there. http://natandvir.com/
