"I am just a begginer & photography represent my only true freedom."
My photography journey began since I joined Flickr on September 21 2007.
My first posted photos on flickr was taken with Sony Cyber-shot DSC-S650 (R.I.P), i used to use this pocket camera for snapshots and sometimes to help with my work.
On October 5 2007, i bought Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ8 for me it's an awesome camera. Once I picked up that that prosumer digital camera I started using more and more photographs not just as reference and materials to use in the art, but photography itself started reveal itself to me "art", whatever that it :). FZ8 is my best partner, i still use it until now.
On December 15 2008, I was able to purchase my first DSLR camera Canon EOS 50D. Lot's of the brain cells are gone by now so it takes a while for me to get a good grasp on all this, but it sure is fun trying.
Having a great time, i'm learning so much and seeing things in a whole new way. ....HUGE THANKS to my Flickr friends for the sharing and support~!

"Ahh... I thought I would take a few minutes to write about this gorgeous person from the inside out... just look at her photostream for yourself and judge. When I first stumbled upon her stream I was awed with amazement. What a talented and sweet individual she is! She literally lives in a paradise that some of us would be blessed to see in our lifetime. I am totally speechless every time I see a masterpiece uploaded by Jessy. I love to see your beautiful land with your eye and your lens. It's just a gift. I always thought that Jessy was using some very expensive camera based on her amazing pix but it turns out that she has a point and shoot camera which shocked me to disbelieve and I am just speechless I never thought it was possible... WOW. Very gifted girl! You are a true blessing for Flickr. Keep it up my dear friend."

Also that extra special sense for what is needed to make an outstanding and special photograph, that photographers struggle to put into words!"

wakarimas says:
"I can't remember how I found Jessy's photostream, but I remember when I did.
At first, before my eyes completely took in what I was seeing, I nearly dismissed it as yet another photostream by yet another graphic designer on flickr who takes extremely pretty pictures of flowers and sunsets, but the eye grows tired of rapidly.
However, the instance my eye did focus, I was amazed at what I was seeing; a photographer with the sense of asthetics of a graphic designer, but the true talent of a great photographer and that of being able to see things that have meaning.
Jessy's photos have soul, they tell a story. She has an immense talent and I very much hope she is aware of this and decides to become a photographer.
This photostream is one place on flickr I never tire of."7th January, 2008

Dusty Pixel says:
" Jessy was one of my first contacts on FLICKR and introduced me to the concept of minimalism which has helped me greatly. She currently lists on her profile that she is a beginner but any time spent on her photostream and you would find that is a very modest statement as she is excellent over a very wide range of subjects. She is Bali’s greatest ambassador as her photographs are so good it makes me want to book a trip in the near future."
