January 16 - Inspiration From Quotes

Please PM me or share your DS's Instragram account!! My daughter will most definitely like to follow him too. Konsta's story is amazing. He really started photography by chance! He went to this park (really a forest!) by his home as a teen. He hung out with the animals and they knew him. He became their friend and even trained a fox to go through his legs, so naturally he wanted to document that to share with his friends. So he started taking pictures, which led to learning more about how to best do that well. He invested his money in a better camera, then lenses, then a drone and cases to carry this all. He learned and learned. You can tell he's very smart! His parents are both teachers... If I recall correctly his father is an anatomy professor at University and I think his mom taught math in high school. Anyway they were both working and this is how he spent his free time. His manner is the most calm person I've ever met. His patience and inner peace is what makes him so good with the animals. He walks into that forest and can put out his finger and birds will land on it. He will wait all day in a special protective box for the photos of a bear! His forest was gorgeous, but he was the best. After his promised wish he asked it we cared to eat lunch with him. We took a bus back to the downtown area - where he thoughtfully took us to a famous cafe there. He almost wouldn't let us buy his lunch, but in the end he allowed us to give that favor at least. He still remembers Sydney when she comments on a photo of his, which warms my heart. I think Sydney's wish may have been the first time he realized he was literally famous. When we were in the forest with him my husband asked him if he was working toward photography being his career with things like National Geographic, and Konsta said yes he hoped so a million times. Now he IS!!! We could not be more happy for him!
