Random thoughts 20090703

I said this before somewhere and I am gonna say it again.

We do no need to have a high IQ to see that, almost EVERYTHING in this world share a common or almost identical structure and characteristic. Take a Good Photographer and a Good Sales Person for example.

A Good Photographer produce a image that pass on the emotion to the audiences.
A Good Sales Person come up with a sales preach that pass on the emotion to the prospects.

A Good Photographer stand on the audience side to experience how they would receive his art.
A Good Sales Person stand in the prospect shoes to imagine how they would rather hear what he wants to say.

A Good Photographer most of the time is telling a story by his image.
A Good Sales Person always need stories to make his prospects relate to what his point is.

A Good Photographer know Rules are meant to be broken.
A Good Sales Person understand that the only rules is if he can't close, he is screwed.

A Good Photographer thinks it is not the camera, it is the photograph that counts.
A Good Sales Person always believe it's not the products or the company that can't sell, it's the sales person themselves and their sales ideas.

A Good Photographer see the picture first in their mind before it is produced.
A Good Sales Person watch that closing 'movie' first before they walk into the prospect office and talk.

There is however two differences between the two:

1. Photography is better as a hobby than as a career.
2. Sales Job is better as a Career than as a hobby.

As usual, just another random thought from me to you. Have a nice day~

I really like that as a Travel Camera...

... just wondering how much more features can the manufacturer packed into such a small device. Love the Panning-Panorama-Auto-Stitch (whatever they call it) feature, the HD movie, and the G Lens (if it live up to the name), etc...

Why so many?

Correct me if I am wrong, nowadays whenever you are attending another Wedding, Reunion, Baby's Full Month, Birthday Party, Beauty Pageant or even Funeral! You will see a bunch of what I would usually 'Camera Man' running around in random movement pattern, trying to cover you view to the starring in front of you.

Have you ever wonder why is there so many Camera Man these days? I came out with my analysis followed:

  • Digital Single Lens Reflex (DSLR) is dirt cheap. A entry level DSLR is almost the same price as a High End Compacts, while DSLR offer user the flexibility to expand their system as they develope the hobby.
  • DSLR has take away the huge running cost of buying film and having your photo developed at the lab, whether or not you like the photos because you cant see it.
  • Photography Magazines are much cheaper now as the used to be expensive foreign magazines are running local prints.
  • Internets sharing experience has help Camera Man to create a huge community which in turns, promote the hobby massively.
  • Anymore anyone?

I am falling in love with Nikkor 85mm f/1.4 more and more everyday~


Shoot handheld at 1/320s - f/1.4 - ISO 100, click on the image to zoom to full size at 72dpi. The sharpness of this lens is clearly seen on the model eyes. This lens is worth every ringgit I paid for it. If I didnt buy a diamond ring, I would buy another one of this! lol~

Finally we found it at a small book store~



We have visited most major book store and it is either sold out or not arrive yet. And yet in a small book store at City Parade, we found one!

It ust feels good to see my photo published on it, it means that my work is being recognised.

My photo on DCM on Feb 2009??

A friend from Facebook buzz me to congrads me on my photo appearing on DCM Feb09, I was really happy about it, drive out at night around 9:30pm to try to buy the mag. No luck, at all~

I wonder why am I subscribing yearly to the mag now rather than buying it from the store every month? It promise to be hand deliver every month on time and earlier than the store, but for the past few month I have been seeing others holding it on hand at the Kopi Tiams when I had no clue that it has been released~

I can't wait now for mine to arrive~
