alvinj88 - View my most interesting photos on Flickriver

I'm guy with many interests. Photography & arts is one of them^^ I'm a newbie in Lightwriting (photo-graphy). just started officially last Jan. 04, 2008 ( I bought a Kodak Z812 IS point and shoot) with no clue about anything. So PRO's please help the new guy. I'm not really a polymath but I just have many interests. I'm just curious.

p.s. one thing I'm not too crazy about digital photography is the post processing stage. I'm not one of those people who likes to sit around and play with the pictures, but I am told I will eventually have to do it. Well I still hate doing post processing and I'm not a fan of photoshop. (T_T).

I would like to thank Alden Arzaga for my pro account. Thanks kuya! ^^

And I also would like to thank my brother; bryan for buying me a Canon EOS D60 body,,hopefully he'll give me a flash and some lenses in the future...fingers crossed.^^

As for the Four Thirds System's Super Sonic Wave Filter rocks!

P.S. (another one)
BEING A JACK OF ALL TRADES KINDA SUCKS.
BUT THEN AGAIN LIFE IS SHORT! SO MIGHT AS WELL DO IT ALL (^^)

    "Alvin is more than just an average photographer, he's a great person that will help a fellow photographer and friend out when needed. i'm glad i met him because i do photoshop work for him for food and he's a ladies man when it comes to model shoots. even though he says he's not that great at photography i really think he'll go far. maybe even to sports illustrated of play boy! (as long as i can tag with)"
