If I recall correctly we planned this photo walk a month or two back back where we photographer would go for a trip and take portrait pictures of each other since we are always taking pictures for people there wasn’t any one who would do the same for us. So Edwin set the date and the rest just came if they could. It was more of a casual and relax thing for most of us as we weren’t working with out camera’s. Here are my favorite shots from the outing.

I have to say the next picture gives me a nostalgic feeling as Genting Highlands was one of those places where every parent would bring their kid and yet they would have a fuzzy memory of the place. I remember over enjoying myself till I would get nightmares at night…hehe and this old building would always have a place in my mind.

I’ve been searching this baby for quite a while now and most places I find would charge me quite an expensive price for a poorly maintained body. Finally I found this near mint condition Canon AE-1. Some people ask me why am I going backwards instead of forward with the latest BIG megapixel camera and all, well it’s a pretty simple answer… I’m curious and I would love to dig down deeper into the roots of photography to actually know the difference (the not so obvious ones) and go through the pain of missing shots and having to spend money on film.

The camera built is awesome, really feels tough and quite heavy for its size. It’s fully metal I think? Not sure what material was use for its “metal” areas. For a camera that was made in 1971, this condition is awesome, not to mention the metering still works. Here are some pictures of the camera I would like to share with you guys out there. Oh yea.. I’ve finally made the mode to a full frame camera… :P just that it’s in analog format not digital…haha

my new name card

June 14, 2010

I’ve not been giving out my name cards since the 1st batch of print was all depleted reason cos the 2nd batch had some printing errors and all. I’m not really a very picky person nor am I a really fussy person (i think) but yea..giving a card which I wasn’t even proud of was really not something I would do so  I would tell people I ran out of cards, which is partially the truth.

So over the weekend I got my new stock of cards and boy am I happy with it..Patrick from My Colorful Memories did a wonderful job and not to mention gave me a really good quality card. So here’s my chance to show off a lil my new card :D

Do ask me for one when you see me :D
