Q & A
Q: What camera should I buy?
A: What do you intend to shoot?
Q: I'm not sure. A bit of everything?
A: I need to know more specifically where your interest lies.
Q: hmm.. maybe Macro?
A: Then, get a DSLR with a macro lens.
Q: But... it's too bulky. Is there another option?
A: Get the E-PL2 with the macro converter.
Q: But I would love to shoot portraits with very blur background like those pros do. Can I?
A: Of course you can with the E-PL2. Use the Nokton 25mm F0.95 lens, but it's manual focus.
Q: Ha? But I don't want manual focus...
A: Then, get a DSLR.
Q: But I love street photography too! I heard the pros use Leica one?
A: Not necessarily Leica. Rangefinders in particular.
Q: What's a rangefinder? It must be Leica. That famous photographer Henry something also used that right?
A: You mean Henri (pronounced as "onri") Cartier Bresson?
Q: Ya ya ya! I want a Leica.
A: But it's manual focus too!
Q: Sigh! Don't they have autofocus Leicas?
A: Nope. And a rangefinder can't do Macro shots.
Q: Why? It's a camera also what. Can change lens right?
A: Ok ok... maybe you mount the DR(dual range) Leica 50mm summicron on it to do closeup shots, plus some additional closeup filters... but there will be parallax errors.
Q: What's parallax errors?
A: Arghh... ok.. forget it. Trust me, get a DSLR. The Leica is a manual focus camera, remember?

Playing in the Rain, Pulau Ketam, Malaysia
I truly enjoyed the one morning I spent at Pulau Ketam last Saturday. It was an organized gathering with Malaysia's Olympus Users. The island seems locked in time, back maybe in the 80s... Kids as young as 5 years old are playing in the drizzling rain... the only vehicle on the island is bicycle... people are friendly (though some are camera-shy, probably too many tourists have been shuffling their DSLRs into their faces?)...
We had our group photo taken outside the one and only Police Station by a police constable. We ate delicious and affordable seafood. The light drizzle softens the day, cools everyone down with a cool temper. We strolled instead of walked fast like the typical "City-chaps". The island was "big" enough to give each one of us "freedom" from one another in doing our own photography. That was nice!
Looking at the simplicity on the island, it's again another reminder to me that knowing contentment is wisdom, and it leads to true happiness.

Life in the Long House, Bintulu, Sarawak.
My sincere apologies to all for "missing-in-action" from updating my blogs recently. This is due to my many photographic assignments lately... and I also have been spending much time processing my past negatives which I have shot since year 2009. I shall resume "A Photo A Day" as soon as I "clear out" my current outstanding assignments. Here's a negative I processed lately, shot in 2009.

Selling Vegetables
An earlier post has another image of the same old lady HERE. I wrote about honest living, humble honest living that deserves more respect than some self-made celebrity wedding photographers who often lie and cheat in the name of marketing, and one of them till today still haven't repay off his RMxx,xxx debts owed to freelancers he has engaged. It's shocking what people will do for the sake of money and getting famous. Sad.

A Stranger's Look
This image keeps coming back to me. I kept holding back in posting this image cause I kept thinking I had already posted it in my main site before... cause I have the practice of NOT posting an image twice. After searching through my archives, I guess I uploaded it into my flickr BUT this never appeared in any of my posts...
It's the way she looked at me. I also do not usually crop my shots, so I'll just leave it as it is, a street scene, people walking past. I had to struggle between capturing the way she looked at me versus the passers-by walking past between us all the time. (click image to enlarge)
