Sharing

I was hooked last nite…end up went to bed @ 3 a.m. Tomorrow then has to go work some more.

The culprit..FLICKR!!! the plan to just open flickr account end up me opening the CS2 book & review most of my photo collection. For quite sometimes, I only concentrate taking photograph. Only recently, after I start blogging, I realize the joy feeling of SHARING & Flickr, I guess is another medium to share my other passion: Photography.

I consider myself novice in photography. Judging from the quality of the pictures in Flickr & other web photo sharing, I guess there’s so much work & effort has to be done to be respected in this community. But that is not my ultimate aim, at least for now (“sign of no confidence ka???”-better than motion of no confidence kan???). My hope is that Flickr will further enlarge my circle of friends.

In my case, my acquaintance mostly seems to be my client, but friend; I notice is only a few. Sadly…they turn to be a banker as well. Perhaps, we, the banker are living in a different time zone..we get to the office a bit late @ 9 & only go back as early @ 6…in time between..stuck in the office!!! Aha..that’s why also you’ll notice that my early photo collection are sunset pictures; the only interesting subject to be photographed by the time we check out from the office..kesian!!!Well…I can feel that this monotonous sunset genre will soon be ended.

…& as my photography portfolio expand, may Flickr bring along new friends & together we all shall make world a better planet to live & work & play &.…wah, terlabih sudah!!!

...hubby used to say...ndak guna tangkap gambar if you don't share it...i biasala masuk kiri keluar kanan...but i guess it is more takut kena ketawa if gambar bida...

...now i'm a little bit adventurous thanks to hubby...he has managed to slowly inculcate this passion...i'm a slow learner but i believe i will get the hang of it over time...

...what i regret...the missed opportunities...the missed moments...

...truth be told...the moments immortalized in images are the only things left when everything has gone by...the reminder of our borrowed time...

I guess he is partly true...about sharing.

When we took photograph, that split second when we trigger that shutter is all about us:our skill, knowledge, interest,style,mood,mind...& SOUL...it's all journey..into SELF.

Camera is only a tool, & photograph is the medium where @ the end of the day, it all should make us a better person, in seeing, feeling & expressing.

'When words become unclear, I shall focus with photograph. When images become inadequate, I shall be content with silence.'~Ansel Adams.

The goal is not to change your subjects, but for the subject to change the photographer...
