Photography Is the Story I Fail to Put Into Words


“Photography is the story I fail to put into words.” – Destin Sparks

Nature inspires me. I find myself deeply moved by creativity, innovation, and remarkable architecture. Whenever I come across such moments, I often wish my family, friends, and loved ones could see them through my eyes.

To me, photography is the most powerful way to capture and share these meaningful experiences. And often, these moments come unexpectedly, fleeting and beautiful, when only a cell phone camera is within reach. That’s why I rely on it to preserve these memories.

As Ansel Adams once said, “There are no rules for good photographs, there are only good photographs.” A great photograph is simply an honest reflection of how we feel about what we see.

Between 2016 and 2018, I had the opportunity to travel extensively. During that time, I began taking photographs with my phone—spontaneously and passionately. Today, I’ve built a personal library of over 2,000 photographs. I’m excited to begin sharing 25 of them through this story map, with a plan to expand it to my top 50 in the coming weeks.

I’ve also created my own hashtag #myclicks_as, which you can find on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter. Every photo shared so far is captured using just one device my trusted Moto G5 Plus.

Bridging the Gap: Turning a Client’s Wish-List into a Clear Project Scope in GIS Projects

Image
In IT projects, especially those involving Geographic Information Systems (GIS), moving from a client’s wish-list to a well-defined project scope is a crucial process. This ensures that the final deliverables meet both the client’s expectations and project goals.  Here’s how this transformation happens: 1. Understanding the Client’s Wish-List The first step is to carefully listen to what the client wants. Their wish-list often includes various ideas, features, and goals for the project. These initial discussions set the foundation for the project’s direction. 2. Converting the Wish-List into Requirements Once the wish-list is documented, the next step is to refine it into clear, actionable requirements. This involves: Clarifying Ambiguities: Asking detailed questions to ensure a clear understanding of broad or vague requests. Prioritizing Needs: Identifying what is essential and what is optional. Feasibility Analysis: Evaluating whether each request is techni...

Embracing Setbacks: Lessons from My First Attempt at the PMI-RMP Exam

Image
And I failed it. The moment I saw that I didn’t pass my first attempt at the PMI-RMP exam, it felt tough. But once I got past the disappointment, I began to realize just how much I had learned from the experience. Failing is never easy, but it taught me some key lessons about risk management - lessons I hope will help you as you prepare for your own exams. 1. Managing Life's Risks Life happens, and sometimes it throws unexpected risks your way. In the months leading up to the exam, I faced challenges with work, family health issues, and travel. All these made it hard to focus on studying. It's important to plan ahead and manage these personal risks—whether it's setting aside time for study or adjusting your schedule to fit life's demands. 2. The Risk of Poor Time Management I learned that my study schedule was not effective. After long days at work, I often didn’t have the energy to study properly. Time management is a key risk in exam preparation. To reduce this risk, ...

The Headless Sprint: A PM's Journey Through the One-Legged Marathon

Image
In the chaotic world of project management, we have all seen projects that resemble Frankenstein’s monster more than a well-oiled machine. Let’s dive into a hilarious scenario where a PM's life cycle gets tangled up in the body-building fiasco of half-baked requirements. Phase 1: Discovery - The Mysterious Blueprint The client sits down with the sales team and begins to describe this mysterious body. They say they need a sprinter, a finely tuned athlete, and sales is already dreaming of Olympic medals. But the client’s description is… incomplete, to say the least. Head: "Oh, we don’t need the head yet, but imagine it’s full of brains!" Hands: "We haven’t built the hands, but they should be super strong. You’ll figure it out, right?" Legs: "Well, there’s one leg! The other one is, um, under construction." Sales hears this and nods vigorously, envisioning Usain Bolt. Meanwhile, the PM is scribbling furiously, trying to map this headless, handless creatur...
