hey you changed your icon again!! i almost didn't recognised you! :P
and yes i know about the movie and i thought it was cute with "When Gary meet Sally" thing....LOL
maybe Tony can do a collaboration with both of them in photoshop and call it "When Gary Meet Sally"? wouldn't that be cool?!


ohh i almost forgot about yours....should we round them up together with Julian's racing snail too and have a big playdate? LOL

thank you everyone! im just going to lunch now and will come back and visit your stream a bit later ;-)

Hope everyone is having a great day!

he stays indoor in one of my plant....im just hoping he wont do much damage to it...its quite a hardy plant...amazingly he seems to be quite happy staying there, he is a really small snail, i think he is a baby snail because its the size of my pinkie :P


the dof is lens wor...i actually shot this portrait size and flipped it the correct way...so the dof is actually a horizontal line unstead of vertical....but since this was flipped it looked like its running in from top to bottom....does that makes sense? :)


tripod tripod tripod! i can't do without it specially when im shooting moving subject (even at snail pace lol) because of my unsteady hand :) eventho i shoot mostly wide open i still get camera shake without my tripod :P

LOL because we only have one snail at home and he never goes anywhere....should we put a tatto on him so you guys can recognized him? that would mean tho rite? he is au natural right now
