Amazed

I was sitting beside window while I'm writing this, after sending Hooi Ling to her workplace, It is my norm nowadays to spend some time in front of the pc screen looking at some works done by this particular team of photographers...(a couple which is both photographers with 2 children) Love their works, It moves me.... sometimes I wonder how they create those impressive works, those smiles, those fun, those joy, those happiness they found in each of the couple they photographs, it makes me look at their stuff again & again with my heart sinks deep inside (impressive) each time I browse thru their works. Hahaha... like my motivation portal!They never fail to capture me everytime I drop by.

I think a good photographer always does the magic if the viewer manage to get who the photographer is thru his photographs... I'm currently reading a biography on this well known photojournalist "Henri Cartier Bresson" (will blog it once I finished the book ya, I'm just half way thru...) One particular descriptions by the writer by the time he interviewed Henri is, he can't find any of Henri's works hang around his home, not a single one. I wonder why, he don't like his own works? I just can't tell why, maybe 1 day I will. I do really love this particular part, where Henri really a "Machine gun" shooter, where he will shoot a particular incident in sequence. whereby in that sequence, there is what I called it "Star" of the shoot, means there is only one and only good shot, but on the other hand, it is the sequence that makes and show us how the "Star" came about. But unfortunately, some of those sequence can't be found anymore cause Henri cut those he does not want and throw it away hahahahaha!

Well, I guess this is how makes him so unique, in fact, every one is different on how ones does things, it is the end results (photos) that counts, not the process.

Old Post on Fotologue

Yeah, want to see more of my older post? check this cool site out guys! http://fotologue.jp/louispng thats my first photosite that I used, got to know it from Hooi Ling, from Japan I think. It is great to flip back to some of the older photos for I'm so glad that I learned so many things from so many people. I remembered initially when I started taking photographs on events... I trembled, YES! I say it again, I "TREMBLED" my hands have the kind of feeling when it turns sour, suddenly you felt so cold, legs try to give up on you... when only your brain is working well... hahahahaha! it still happens now! but it feels so great now....

Curiosity

I always do amazed on kids, somehow they always reminds me of who I am when I was a kid back then, I'm the typical type.... always got chase by my mom by doing something wrong :). As I loved to photograph them now, I do notice a similarity in them, the level of curiosity they have... they seems to get attracted by things happening around them so often...wherelse we "so called" adults always think that we know so much until we come to a point of time that we think we "know" I do not have any kids yet... but I guess thats how they learn huh? don't you think?
