Help!

I've been like that as you say..BLANK.. I was working in Maldives and have started photography just few months back..Somehow I had kept the belief that I would find more photographic opportunities in my own country Nepal than in Maldives but somehow I still had kept my curiosity and interest very much alive while I was still in Maldives. I came back 1 month back and seems like I can't get my interest back in track since it is very high risk of getting robbed here since I'm just in my twenties and very much scared of losing my DSLR. But recently my best friends got married and they invited me to take their marriage photographs for them so I went there and somehow enjoyed it. I do want to take out my camera a lot but my parents keep discouraging me to walk outside by myself and especially with the camera.. Now I hate the idea of my camera being inside the bag for more than 24 hours. Even if I tell myself I can take care of the camera, my parents keep on discouraging me again and again.. What am I supposed to do??

I’d refuse to eat my vegetables until my parents let me have my way...and if that didn't work I’d hold my breath until I was blue.... i'd draw the line at pouting, crying or tantrums...but, hey, that's just me.

Find things to photograph in your home. It will push you to be more creative.

Really, I think alof of the challenges and stuff on here could keep you interested forever. Make yourself do at least some of them until you become a little more comfortable with walking outside and around with your camera. Insure it if you can and if you can afford it, that might make all the difference in the world to how you deal with your parents. You are twenty you said? Time to start YOUR life and do what YOU want to do. Your parents will have to understand.
