Time in Photography

When we look back...seriously back in time, how much has the revolution of Photography been changed. We used to use film photography in my younger days, when I did not spend too much time and effort. At that time, I was much into Sega / Nintendo games and also PC games. By the time I started to get interested in Photography, it was already in the Digital era.

I still recall that my first "SLR-alike" camera was the Fuji S5000 camera. It was a fantastic gadget to own, and I have colleagues around me who was into this subject. We have lots of fun discussing about the various camera parts, lens, photo critics and of course group outings.

Then, I went into more "Professional" learning when I received my first Nikon D80 SLR camera as a Birthday gift (today it's still there sitting inside my dry cabinet). Indeed, I learnt alot from this camera, and it really open up my leanings into the field of photography. 

As of today, I got the feeling that I need a change. Something that I could pursue as a dream, and a real goal in my future to purse on. I need all the inspirations, ideas and teachings from all over. Never did I dream that I would chance upon a new area of Photography , and it is called "LOMOGRAPHY"

Photography - My Dreams

I love photography and that's the reason why I have created this blog of interest. There are various forms of photography and I would very much like to explore each of them.

My main interest now is how could I convert photography into an "art", and not rather as a commercial tool.

Today is Chinese New Year 2013, and I know this is gonna to be the year where I would start developing my interest in more details.

There are various things this year that I would like to try out, for instance:
1) Taking up a photography course and learn from real experts
2) Devise a way to make photography into a more interesting subject
3) Build my own lomo camera
4) Explore and play around with more film types.
5) Find out ways to deal with photos. Perhaps to merge with craft works.
