For several years in my youth I thought I wanted to be a news photographer. I ultimately didn't pursue it because by the time I was entering the workforce, there was already degeneracy left and right, and I didn't want to deal with that.
Now, years later, I realize what I really wanted to become. What I should have become. A propaganda photographer. I am very political. I'm also overjoyed to see right wing and libertarian politics slowly but surely succeed in many civilized countries. I like the job I have now, but documenting the rise of a new regime, helping it along from behind the camera... that's what I'd consider my dream job.
