Today is not an ordinary day because I made it different. I look just like before, a cross between Lydia Sum and if I centre-part my hair, very much like TF. I have a group of friends who won't stop teasing perhaps until I lose weight. However, they don't mean any harm. It is only a sign of bonding among friends.

Well what is so different about today is that I noticed how much I love creating pictures and writing stories. But of course I have been involved in the tiniest way possible in video productions and creative writing. It is today that I see myself doing this for the rest of my life. What hit me , I don't quite know. I have become so accustomed to scripting, camera works and editing that I could dictate them in my sleep.

Then, today I unlearn all that I know so that I don't become proud. It is dangerous when I stop learning on the basis that there is nothing more and it means I stop growing too. Everything I do now is fresh and it was as if I am doing it for the first time. That I have never held a camera before. There was something else inside, something familiar and at the same time novel. It is the end of boredom because every second regenerates itself in a new birth.

With this realisation, the works that my godparents bestow upon me have much more meaning. The path clears on its own. I see a road now. Compassion and love sealed on my heart.

Finally, life begins and ends in a single breath.

From oil painting to digital photography, it is not the tool but the man behind that creates art. There is a lot of difference between admiring a picture and personally making it. Having an opportunity to partake in an act of creation is highly rewarding spiritually.

I am fairly new to DSLR and am having lots of fun already learning about it. Firstly, it is to build a system well within my budget and needs. Setting the budget is not really the issue but to know which particular brand and model can perform what functions can be daunting. And to begin with, I have to study the functions from ISO to shutter speed. Next, comes the type of lens; the standard focal, zoom, telephoto and macro and what each type of lens can do. If I have not blurted enough jargons, this is because I have forgotten 1/4 of the stuff I read and also fear that you might kick me in the face.

The hours of research that went into the purchasing of a DSLR are much longer than anticipated. Perhaps it is not a cheap investment but mostly due to the curiousity and urge for knowledge. It somehow tickles me to be aware of how a picture is made and the technology in support of it. And it also burdens me to know that I don't know so much. However, the process of learning is always very enjoyable and exciting.

How eager are men to capture crucial moments in their life. One simple image tells a million stories!

Welcome to the world of pictures. Time in still mode.
