Some favorite quotes on photography:
- "Taking pictures is savoring life intensely, every hundredth of a second." ~Marc Riboud
- "We are not interested in the unusual, but in the usual seen unusually." ~ Beaumont Newhall
- "Photography is not like painting. There is a creative fraction of a second when you are taking a picture. Your eye must see a composition or an expression that life itself offers you, and you must know with intuition when to click the camera. That is the moment the photographer is creative. Oop! The Moment! Once you miss it, it is gone forever." ~Henri Cartier-Bresson
Update in 2008: I am just back to Vietnam this year. Atm, I'm trying to make myself comfortable when shooting street photos in VN ... Hopefully some good pics will come soon ^^
Update in 2010: www.viahe.org/ has been running since Dec 2009 aiming at becoming a new home for Vietnamese street photographers. Check it out! :-)
Please join this group: Vietnam - street photography if you are interested in shooting street photos of Vietnam, thanks!

tom_sketching says:
"As a photographer and a painter, I have learned much by scanning and studying the photos of Fridaycafe.
When I think that I have been sufficiently inspired by his techniques in design, composition, cropping and presentation, I always manage to find another picture of his that shows more examples from his site as to what exceptional photography is all about.
Look at his flowers, study his portraits, analyzed his photos of buildings and street scapes and know that you are in the land of outstanding photography with Fridaycafe.
Not only is he one of your tour guides to new places to which he manages to travel -- but he is an extraordinary photographer who has mastered the all-inclusive skills a good photographer is always trying to acquire. Try to take sophistication of his photos as examples of where we all need to be."4th October, 2006
