Your photographs are quite good. You should definitely pursue photography. I like taking photos too. However, all my photos are using a phone camera or a low end camera, and they are usually of nature or flowers or birds or animals. I am not too good at taking pictures with people in them. I did not meet my parents. I just talked to them on the phone. They live far away.
I saw a documentary the other day about the Elephant Nature park. Have you visited it? It sounds like a nice place.
