I stumbled upon this CNN Special and its first few seconds sent a chill down my spine.
The scene: A young girl verbally commands her computer to search for the term 'analog photography' and the machine returns a search result taking viewers back the birth of film photography in the 19th century.
The video then brought us to five individuals (including Magnum photographer Elliot Erwitt) from different background sharing their take on film photography with us.

Took me a long while to do up this post but here goes...
I've been photographing Salsa dancers since 2009 and have always wanted to present a proper body of work (including one ballet set!).
Well, the time is now!

I may be tired but I am buzzing with excitement.
You don't many chances to do a photoshoot with some of the best Latin dancers in Singapore, let alone doing it with a Hasselblad H4D-40 and the Profoto Pro-8 (10 flashes per second, anyone?).

So on a bright and sunny Wednesday morning, my colleague smashed a housefly right next to me. For some reason the fly (corpse?) was rather intact and there was a Hasselblad H4D-40 and a 120mm f/4 Macro lens lying around in office. This is the 100% crop. Hit the jump for the original composition.

One of the biggest perks of my new job is that I get to try out all sorts of camera equipment that I don't normally get to use (or afford). With that, I decided to bring this Gitzo GH 2781 QR ball head home to 'test' it out muahahaha. First observation: The knob to tighten/loosen the ball head is huge. And I think it is an understated fact that tripod makers are making life difficult for us with hard-to-twist knobs. I may be a big fan of the Manfrotto 410 Junior Gear Head but I hate the frictionless knobs especially when I have the occasional sweaty palms under the sun (who doesn't??).
Read MoreOver the weekend I finally had the chance to bring my dream camera setup out for a shoot.
- Hasselblad 503CW
- PME45
- 50mm f/4 CFi
- Winder CW
I've always wanted to try photographing with the Winder CW as well to see how it is like.

Ok not exactly the LAST shot but my last subject before I decided to pack up and leave Huangshan, China for good. I'll admit that I spent the most of my time taking tons of touristy photos. It was only on the day that I am leaving the place that I started revisiting places I found interesting. Only then, I started 'seeing'. Maybe this simply means that I need to go back Huangshan one more time. Huangshan, China 西海大峡谷 Hasselblad 501 CM 60mm f/3.5 CF Kenko 2X teleconvertor Ilford FP4 (ISO 125)

The discussion started when American Photographer Vincent Laforet (the guy who made you take a second look at HDSLR), posted the photo above on his blog and ask people to guess what camera it was taken with. For those who do not want spoilers, take a look at the high-res version before reading on.
Last week I helped a friend to take some theatre headshots for casting usage. So I make full use of the opportunity to try out my Hasselblad system, on top of my deliverables.
Read MoreDon't know why but it took two weeks to ship from KEH but I'm not complaining. The PM 90 looks magnificent and certainly much more compact than my current PM45 prism. But after a quick comparison I found that each has its own advantages.
