I get very annoyed with myself when I don't spend enough time shooting.
The only two photo-related takeaways from last weekend was knowing that one of my photos from the Salsa series got exhibited at Orchard ION.

It has been a while since I last used a Mamiya AFD (4x3 format) to photograph Punggol.
If I did not remember wrongly, the last time was in 2009 when my images were exhibited as part of a group exhibition.
How things have changed in three years.

After what was a crazy week at work, I finally had the time to head out with the Nex-7.
There camera was a sheer joy to use, largely because of the ease-of-handling of the camera. Every switch and button was within the reach of my right thumb and index finger and that really means a lot for me.
I'm not exactly street photography material but here are some snapshots taken over the weekend with the kit lens.

Believe it or not, this was taken outdoors with nothing but ambient light. Not even a reflector.
It was my second day with the Sony Nex-7 and I wanted to try out the 50mm f/1.8 that came along with the camera. So I decided to grab my colleague Duane, who was pretty much stoned from all the late hours of work as my test subject of the day.
Helps that he looks a tad like Arsenal footballer Thiery Henry.

Fast forward to this afternoon, I finally have the awesome Nex-7 on my hands!

When I got started with photography, I regarded Little India as my training ground of sorts to improve my craft.
Armed with a Yashica GSN (rangefinder for poor people like me), I walked around the streets to talk to people and ask for their permission to take a portrait of them. It was a very rewarding time for me back then as I had learn a lot in terms of approaching your subjects.
Fast forward four years later, I was having midnight coffee with a few friends on Chinese New Year day and we decided to hit the streets of Little India for a short photo walk.

Lina Goldberg of My Big Fat Face is a food blogger based in Phnom Penh, Cambodia.
In her most recent blog entry, she recalled how one annoying tourist (with a DSLR) treated a local lady trying to sell flowers. Instead of buying anything from the local, this unnamed tourist basically treated her like some exotic animal and took photos non-stop.

The news of Kodak's bankruptcy finally became a reality over the week.
And that's a really terrible piece of news for film lovers like me and all those around the world. I remember the first film that I used when learning photography was the T-Max 400 back in 2004 together with a Nikon FG-20. So yes, Kodak film does has a special place in my photography journey and it's sad to see how a big company like them fall apart.

If you read my blog long enough, you pretty much know what PSKiss is all about.
And just in case you don't, I wrote a review for some of their products like the Black & White filters and Contrast Farm/Viveda filters.
Just the other day, I stumble upon this deal site Photowhoa (think Groupon for photography) and saw a deal on PSKiss' Photographer's Toolbox on sale.
