its been sometime since samson asked me to help him shoot for his hair stuffs. well, since an old friend asking for help, i think i can take up my camera for him. comming back to kk this time, i learnt alot. first, jen lent me some theory books and how to critic photography. when i looked at the check in and out of the library note, its only been borrowed out for not more than 5 times and its and very old book. and those books which had the name like how to shoot like a pro or how to shoot portraits, it checks in and out everyweeks.

and i guess every photographer have their own phylosophy, i said alot of bullshitz to protect my own rulez, my own beliefs, my style, my colours, my idea, my compositions, my photo. once you belive in something in photography, its kinda hard to listens again, till you find someone same chanel with you, its just like religion.

after taking up photography, everyone said that photography is their lifes but how far they willing to go for it? if you're living in the era when photography still using films, will you still tell me the same idea? will you still tell me this is your life?

most of the people loves pop music, same goes photography, most people love beautiful things or people. how many people have ever looked at the war photography or the streets? have you ever listens to jazz? have you ever listens to blues? have you ever listens to the classical musics which you have never heard before? you thought you've seen the photos before but dare you go down to the war or the streets for the line as you've said....."photography is my life" i know i wont, coz in reality, all these are not simple.

some people admires how other's life is like, when they cant live in the lifes they wanted to be, they starts to deny, they deny the things they admire is good, when you cant taste the grapes, you'll said its probably sour, this theory same goes to me. coz i'm always like that. denying other's work. even other's people's work is good, you'll probably will say"ofcoz la~ they lucky ma~ give me the cam or the model, i can shoot anytime better than him." a bad habbit of mine.


some people have no idea what is thier limit, something like american idol, it makes you laugh, and it will makes you think twice, is your voice that good? are you sure you can sing that song? are you sure you wana compete after watching american idol season 1? in season 2 you still wana try your luck? come on~ this is reality. before you wana run, you need to learn how to walk. meaning we need to prepare or find more refference.

what you've seen in your life, you'll try to shoot the image which you've seens somewhere else, meaning, you always listens to jazz, give you a piano, i don't aspect you playing rock or pop. same goes to your photograph.
