Thanks to my Dad who introduced me to the world of photography when I was about 8 years old. Ever since the first time I heard the sound and felt of the mechanical vibrations on my Dad's acient Minolta SLR, I was addicted to this hobby.

There is no particular type of pictures I especially interested in. The pictures I took were mostly anything that caught my eyes or reminded me of something in the past or some of the moments I feel it's worth to be captured. It could be landscapes, scenics, macros, portraits or abstract... etc.

Through the years, I've been taking pictures with many forms and configurations of cameras such as: disposable cameras, basic P&S film cameras, SLR film cameras, digital P&S, advance digital P&S... etc. And recently, I migrated to digitalSLR and started crunching out pictures at a much faster pace.

Based on what I have experienced and seen from others' pictures, it is not the equipments that makes good pictures. A simple P&S can make wonderful pictures too! It is our eyes, our perceptions and familiarity with the subject(s), and how well we know about our equipments, the used of colors, perspectives, ambience and light itself make a difference on the quality of the result... for which I am still learning and experimenting these days.

Through our eyes and the pictures we took at, there are obvious evidences that the world and all the things in, on, around it (including the living & still things, galaxies, planets & stars) were not likely created by some random possibilities or co-incidents. Instead, they all seems to be created and arranged intelligently.

Advances in technologies enable us to new possibilities. I am able to learn about new photographic techniques (basic and digital manipulations/post-processing), and as well as sharing my pictures, in a much faster and easier way (Thank you Flickr!). You have got to appreciate the hard works and creativities of our gifted scientists and engineers that make our lifes much better physically.

However, I do seek the answers on how we can improve our life morally and spiritually, for which I prefer to leave it as an open discussion...

My current photographic gears are mostly Nikon stuffs...

Objects of interest:
A female, blue colored long hair cat (my daughter)
Some small toys and stuffed figures to represent my current state of mind or status
... and Maruko, my dearest new born, who will always be my all time favourite subject for photography... and she brings a lot of joy and precious moments to the family.

***** Thanks for viewing my pictures.
