It has been sometimes when I tried to explore my Android Phone for photos... It seem lots of people were using their gadgets to capture everything... Me? I did the same In a search of practicality, I'm trying to capture any possible things I can capture even with a very limited gadget...a Motorola Milestone... the early version.

Hopefully I can learn more about photo composition using the gadget

LOL.... enough said

Just another day when I found myself taking some photos, then I found someone watching over me. His gear was way above mine. He showcased it on his neck, he mocked my mid-end gear, as if I'm just another crap. He's like a very professional one. I adore his gears.... The other day, my girlfriends told me about her friend's FB profile, I took a glance at the photos... there that man's profile tagged some photos of my girl friend's friend photos.

I saw one or two of the photos. From the gears, I expect more of that person. But hell no, he showed a very low quality photo processing, and somehow I think i"m better than him. Yeah, at this stage, I can pull myself higher than him. But I know I really shouldn't, I should've seen him on my shoes a couple of years ago Still learning... Way to go mate... you've got a very nice gear already, just keep on developing your skill

p.s: I know I'm not at my best already, I'm still learning too.. so.. let's just learn together without even mocking others or look down on them cheers mate

After sometimes I attended wedding parties... made me think... When will my time? Ah... I still have to finish my graduate degree... I still have to write my theses... Applied linguistics, one subject that I always like.. but still... time is running out.. and I'm getting out of money.. Jobless needless to say.. just taking photos... With those professional experiences, I always have this question... What did I want next? Still a question... not that big.. but still a question..

My Dad used to say that the essence of photography is to make something ordinary become an extra ordinary. He said that a lot... I've been trying so hard to learn how to take a good picture, yet I'm still learning and still learning to learn. Been a while since the last time I learn to take and explore the camera I had recently, a Sony Alpha 350. With the limitation the camera had, I've got to learn at my best...

There was once a time when a friend said that all of my photos are craps..... Been asking him how to compose a good narrative photos, he always says no. He never teach me how to and never showed me his photos. Quite awkward for me, either he is bluffing, jealous or something, but I just take it as a critic to make myself even better by the day.

No matter what, I always consider myself learning and always learning, and I might probably never lose the spirit to learn. I hope I will be able to find an extra ordinary picture of my life during this learning process.
