My popular
Whew! Yeah, so, I'm an outgoing, bookish, hopeless romantic who talks a lot. I'm kooky, crazy and down to earth all at the same time. I love life and intend to live every day with a serious passion and I'll try just about anything once!
i enjoy a good novel, a steamy cuppa joe on bitter, cold rainy days and you'll find me outside charging up some knoll in my running shoes when the weather's sunny and peachy keen.
I'm of the fun, funny, spontaneous, independent, low-maintenance persuasion and am usually up for anything anytime. I try to balance that out by not being a collector or a snob or an egomaniac.
Mostly I think life is about experiences, with other people and with ideas, and I try to live with that in mind. I believe life is a challenge that's too short for regrets, i live for today and worry abt tomorrow next week.
currently, i pretty engrossed with nature macrophotography,
insect macros and flower macros.
its a whole new world out there, when you really go that to the micro level. another genre of interest would be people and portraits, something i'd like to study in detail, after i'm done with my macro obsession.
i'm always open to new friends, people who share similar interests and the sharing of knowledge

~Yapster~ says:
"A very friendly guy who is willing to share all his knowledge with you.
I still remember our first meetup in botanical gardens for macro shoots.
A lot of knowledge sharing from him.
Not only that, to get the best out of his shots, he is willing to spend a lot of time on studying and experimenting on new stuff.
This is the key to be a good photographer.
Last but not least, his nice photos really inspire me~
Thanks again bro!"19th October, 2008

"Cookie had alway impressed me with his kids portraits. He has his aimCapturing the moment that brings out the innocent from children's eyes.
Children have shorter attention span than adults. However to cookie, they are simply the little people that shows their boredom more openly, sharing their feelings transparently. He will go down to their level and capture as many valuable shot as possible."8th July, 2007

"Simply energetic, refreshing and feel young to be with...
Monkey attitude and would sing annoying folk song out of sudden...
do feel uneasy at first but after a few session of meet up, feel like missing something without him along..Maybe simply we do hope to feel young again..lol
Though his Nikon D80 is with him for less than a year, Shawn works can simply bring viewers to a whole new world, enchanting macro world which humanize all the special moment of beings' daily routine and their life..Simply amaze with his eyes for details and his persistency on delivering the best work to the audiences.
With his never say die attitude and his passion on photography, Shawn will sure to excel in his future undertaking:o) Just need to Believe! Personally, I think youre a talented photographer, with great passion and keen interest to adapt to new technology and equipments..Youre going to a proffesional photographer!
Thanks Cookie! On helping me to progress on digital photography which i almost gave up due to career and some others commitment.
Hope we can have more time to go for outing and share our works together.
Shawn is certainly a good pal, sincere, generous on sharing information, crazy but fun to be with... just hope our passion on photography will here to stay and share the best to the world!
Stay Cheerful Cookie!!
