Photography

As I was sitting down thinking through my future education and passion, I asked myself again, What is it that I really want? I would say, PHOTOGRAPHY!!!
Haha. Thats my number 1 passion. =) "Lord, I pray for a camera, in faith."
Haha. Must make specific prayers: " Lord, I want a new camera, a Canon EOS-40D."
Hmm, Still not complete. Must have the power of visualisation.
"LORD, I want this please!"
Haha, This is more complete. Amen!! =)

Btw this are some things said by powerful photographers.

A painter works with color as the medium, a photographer works with light. -Carlotta M. Corpron

A photograph is not an accident – it is a concept. -Ansel Adams

Woohoo... Check this out...

Some photographers take reality...and impose the domination of their own thought and spirit. Others come before reality more tenderly and a photograph to them is an instrument of love and revelation. -Ansel Adams, "Ansel Adams: Photographs" by Wings Books. New Jersey

But ultimately this is my favorite:

There is no art which affords less opportunity to execute expression than photography. Everything is concentrated in a few seconds, when after perhaps an hours seeking, waiting, and hesitation, the photographer sees the realization of his inward vision, and in that moment he has one advantage over most arts - his medium is swift enough to record his momentary inspiration. Right at the start I must confess that I have never met such a spontaneity of judgment in a man, who was a competent character reader, artist, and photographer in one person. -Sadakichi Hartman


Truly photography keeps me sharp.
Once you miss a chance to shoot, you will never ever get a 2nd chance. Photography is that cruel, but when you pull off a fast trigger on the shutter, that satisfaction is incredible. I love taking portraits and cadid pictures. Because those are the essence of human life and behavior. Most of the times, I detest taking posed pictures. Haha, Even when we are taking posed pictures, I just love to take them whenever they did not notice me taking. Haha, Those are the best shots ever. =)

Just love taking pictures.
A picture tells a thousand words. A picture will also tell of the photographers thoughts and emotions at that time. Even his edited works can tell. Can't hide them. Haha. The greatest photographer is God Himself!

Haha, A good photographer has this ability to 'foresee' an event happening, visualised it in his mind, compose the image even before the event happened, and snap it in seconds. =)
Its just like God.. In Jeremiah, the Bible says that even before we are conceived in our mother's womb, God already foresee this event happening. Composing our future and plans to prosper and give us a hope. And breathe the breath of life into us during the physical conception. Incredible.

Thank God man!! =)
