Changing careers is pretty common, but Daniel Thomas Smith dropped out of his Ph.D program in Neuro-imaging to continue with his true passion -- photography. Now that's courageous. Smith only got his first "proper" camera three years ago, and the rest is history. I think we could all learn from his bravery in following our hearts.
Implications - Daniel Thomas Smith says that his photographic works are images that invade his mind. He tries to produce what he sees in his head as perfectly as possible into real life. He claims that he tries to find beauty in absolutely everyone and everything. His featured works take a look at both women and men and are actually quite creepy; however, I think everyone could learn from his bravery.
