Carpe Diem - Seize the day. While every day might not be good, there is always something good in every day. Life is filled with adventures and experiences. Life is about living. Find what drives you. Find what motivates you to get up every morning. Make every last second count. "What am I going to do in an old age home? Sit and wait to die? Or should I have a purpose in life? I have a reason to get up in the morning." - Maggie Fourie To follow our film making journey - https://www.patreon.com/greenrenaissance Filmed near De Rust, a small town in Western Cape, South Africa.

While browsing for old Nikon lenses in antique stores in Long Street, Green Renaissance met The Collector – a man with a real passion for cameras. He has built up a collection of more than 1000 cameras over the years. We were lucky enough for him to invite us to his home (not open to the public) to view his impressive collection. He reaffirmed how important it is to do what you love. Film Tip/Trick: Always be prepared to film – in this case, upon meeting him, we went directly to his home to spend two hours filming. Also, when interviewing, purposefully create pauses between your questions - this allows you to capture the awkward, real moments that occur between answers from your character.

What if you only had a year to live? Take a moment and seriously consider your answer to this question. What would you do? Maybe you’d spend your time close to home, appreciating time with loved ones. Or, maybe you’d pack your bags and travel the world. Maybe you’re interested in philanthropy and would dedicate that year to community service. Or maybe you’d spend most of your time alone, quietly reflecting on your life. But the truth is, you can’t cram a lifetimes worth of experiences, achievements, challenges and friendships into one year. Life doesn’t work that way. But what you can do is make sure that you don’t take your time for granted, and that you consciously choose to pay attention to the things that are most important to you. Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. When you open your eyes to the beauty that surrounds you, you not only learn how to live but find what to live for.
