What are you willing to do?

So what are you willing to do for your dream or dream job? Are you willing to sacrifice time with your family to photograph a super bowl? Are you willing to risk your life and go to Afghanistan and be embedded with military unit? Me as a photographer I say yes and yes I would. Because who knows you might capture the game wining touchdown or capture an amazing play like Walter Ioos did with the catch. One photo can change your entire life and immortalize you forever. Yes I would risk my life to go to Afghanistan and document that conflict because it is my duty as a photographer to let the world know what happening and to show the good and bad going on because if I don't I wouldn't be doing my job as a photojournalist. The possibility the change the world with one photo that is something you cannot pass up. So take the risk cause you don't want to say to yourself " I wish I did that" and no one what to live like that.
