Along my journey as a photographer, there’s nothing more heartwarming than a praise or comment on my photos. It serves as a nice note to let me know I’m going somewhere, and of course it’s also a lovely ego boost!

Recently, I’ve been shooting a lot more sensual black and whites, in a bid to develop more useful portfolio for the direction I’m heading. The good thing about black and whites is that they are a lot easier to manage and control, since there’s no worry about colours, just adjusting the contrast. 

My usual habit is to put some of my works up on my MSN display picture. To my surprise and utter delight, the recent images have been evoking positive responses from a number of female acquaintances. When two of them express interest to be photographed by me, and one of them actually cancels a holiday trip for it, I can’t help but beam with pride.

Seriously though, I’m still far from good. But at least now I’m good enough to be appreciated by a few people. Hopefully in time, this appreciation will grow, and I’ll actually become good enough to do this full time!

Yes, if you can’t tell by now, this is a self-serving, head-expanding, ego-stroking post! Hahahahaha.
