bimo advised me against getting an slr unless i am ready to invest that amount of money into it. i kind of agree with what he said. gee..it's back to point and shoot cameras for me. why must there be such a huge leap from p&s to slrs? why must it cost soooooooo much to get a slr??
i ran to work this morning (with those idiot recoupe shoes) and i witnessed something really fun, which i wished i had a camera with me to capture.
a grandfather was riding a kiddy 4wheeler bike with his grandson behind, coming down the little slope towards the carpark. whenever the grandfather honked, the grandson would go "eeeeeeee!" and it was so amusing seeing and hearing the grandfather honking away and the grandson eeee-ing away. i wished i had a camera in my hand that very moment. i wished i had a SLR! i wished i had the ability to capture that scene. i can see the picture in my hand.. catch the photo in a slow shutter speed (is it slow ah?) ..then get the slight blurry effect...that gives that look of speed. i'll go find a photo to illustrate what i mean. but i can already see what i want to capture in my head, just that i didn't have a camera nor did i have the skills to.
the new thing i would like to pick up is photography. just some basic skills ..and like ivan said..the rest is practise, practise and more practise.
bimo said he'll let me play with his manual nikon. the one i fiddled which the aperture during our tomyam dinner. i can't wait to put a roll of film in it and start snapping. hoping all 36shots won't turn out all blurry.
talk about cameras, i haven't got to use my antique rangefinder as yet. i'm not too convinced if it really works or not. might just lug it along when i meet up with bimo and get him to try the camera.
this morning as i read the morning papers, i took a moment to sit back and just stared into the family portrait. he's finally leaving us. there's such a sense of relief for me. it feels like the release of a bondage or something. frankly, i feel if he wants to leave, leave for good. let us be able to start life all over again..he has already wasted so much of our precious time.
bro and sis in law are going to have a kid soon..they are a family unit now.
so it leaves just my mum and i who are going to watch over each other.
a nice side-track thought: won't it be nice to find a guy who can and will take care of my mummy and i?
dream on, tricia! haeheaheahaehae
