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"
