Sadness in Photography

In photography field, there tend to be arguments, hatreds, sabotages, and all sorts of methods to bring down the fame of your rivals. I thought photography suppose to be happy and decent, but I was wrong. Other photographers who don't agreed with your opinion and your shots, they tend to look down on you and attack you in a way. Why can't they share the experiences? Why do they have to fight? Why? Why? Why?

There are gangs in photography too! Believe it or not, Nikon gangs, Canon gangs, Sony gangs, Olympus gangs, Leica gangs, Hassleblad gangs, Panasonic gangs, etc.

Every photographers is trying so hard to gain acknowledgement from others. When their shots are acknowledged, they show happiness and reached a level of satisfaction; but when it's the other way round, they couldn't back down and accept the criticism, war breaks out between them.

This sadness and war in photography will never come to peace. It will stay like this forever. I somehow hope that everyone, everyone of the photographers out there, please wake up. You got your style, concepts and you put it in the shot, when others don't agree with you, forget about them and seek for those who can acknowledge you and grow your skills even further.

Ayase Haruka

So many girls and models I have seen for my whole life up until now, Ayase Haruka is the most outstanding to me. Never seen her in makeups, simply beautiful. The sweet smile from deep bottom of her heart. No wonder I am fond of her, adore her and wish I could find someone like her. At least let me have a photo shooting session.

Friendship With Wild Animal?

At first I though it was ridiculous, I have seen human been eaten by wild animals (tiger, lion, etc) in zoo and safari. But after I watched this video, I was amazed and deeply touched. Can it really happen? Let the video do the talking.

Road Offenders - Beware!

This is a video ad from British Police to warn teenagers from texting while driving. This is some twisted video, very dramatic and it shows you what happened if you did not abide with the road regulations. I have seen my dad, my friends, and others texting while driving. They must have been living for too long and can't wait to finish their lives. I hope this video will change your bad habit suckers!

This Is What A DSLR Should Be - Nikon D3X

So this is the next DSLR I'm getting, but now I can only salivating and imagine meself using it. Nikon D3X, when are you coming to me?? Enjoy the short interesting video.

IT World - What If?

We have ventured into IT World since 19 centuries. And the IT technology is so advanced nowadays. IT stands for Information Technology, and that means communications between technology to technology; for instant, broadband service, mobile network, internet, etc.

Last couple of days, I was having problem logging into internet. My broadband service can not establish a stable connection, it was a pain in the arse to be honest! I was fuming badly, couldn't check my important email, update my blog, update PGN's forum, read the latest news, bla bla bla.. So yesterday I went hiking in the mountain for 3 hours, physically and mentally exhausted. Got home and refreshed and hope for my broadband to behave nicely. Disappointed as expected.

Complaint to my ISP since the very beginning of this problem, they promise to send their technician to check out, but you know how they work, they never show up. I can't be bothered with them anymore, start my own trouble shooting. Checked the main cable connection, seems good. Furthered inspection inside my house, connection port okay. Hang on a minute, I saw the phone cable is pressed under the couch. No wonder! Solved that and the broadband was only good for 2 minutes, bloody hell. Check again near the router, ah haaa!! The phone cable near there is pressed under the couch too!! Removed it, shut the router and restart! Everything back to normal. Phew.

What if the country's ISP got hacked, will the country IT users suffer? What if all the main fiber optic cable underneath the sea broken? We will be thrown back to the era where we don't have IT but can we survive without IT?? I believe so not, we depend too much on it. It will be our doom one day.

Japanese Hard Gay Cooking? Hoooooo!

This is one hell of a hilarious series from Japan. It could be a bad influence for future Japanese kids if they watched this too much, hahahahha. The host is a gay wanna, but judging from my experiences regarding gay people, he isn't one of them. He is just acting out on this series. See he moves his hips in front of children?? That is what makes me laugh so badly. Don't worry if you do not understand Japanese, there is English subtitle. Enjoy and laugh out loud so you can have a nice day today mate!

The All New Leica!

I tent not to cover photography news and technical in my blog. But this is something wonderful. An All New Leica will be born. Ask any photographers about Leica, they will tell you it's branded. It's like Bentley or Rolls Royce in the car industry. I can't be helped but feel the excitement, even though I know I can't afford to have one of them in my entire life. Even the Nikon D3X seems to be so far away from my reach at the moment. So it will just be dreams. Anyway, check out the video released by Leica CEO.
