  A new Photo-book: Cityscape ASIA

Sep 01 2010

Rather than letting the rare opportunity to travel to Asia passes us by, my wife and I tag-teamed as we took turn to use the petite, yet powerful Olympus E-P2 to record life as it happens on the street level.  And we have compiled a heavily edited set in a form of our first photo-book [...]

  Sleek Is An Understatement

Aug 25 2010

“Sleek-incarnate”
A martial artist who can reach the rooftop in three side-to-side wall jumps, a blind-folded circus performer who can do triple somersault on a tightrope or a “plastic”-girl who can put both of her feet on top of her head — without the slightest sign of discomfort.
Those are things that make you go: Wow.
And that’s [...]

  No Computer

Aug 19 2010

It is becoming harder these days to produce something without the help of some kind of computerized tools.  The books that you read today most likely are written using a word-processor.  The chair that you sit on, most likely are CAD-designed.  The list goes on: microwave-ovens, cars, TV’s and — oh yeah, cameras, and…
… photographic [...]

  SHANGHAI Live

Jul 20 2010

Here it is, folks. A new photo-book from me to you. This one is the product of jet-lag-induced sleepless nights.
Be that as it may, I am quite content that I have planned for this book even before I left for Shanghai two weeks ago and that is reflected in my choice of cameras to take [...]

  What is in a meter?

Jul 16 2010

Amazon.com Widgets
An importance of a small handheld meter cannot be understated when you want the most accurate exposure for your shots.
Why use a meter?
It is more likely that nowadays people would ask the reverse, why wouldn’t you use a meter. Since almost all new cameras out there sports a built-in meter, you’d [...]

  Zenit 3M (Part II)

Jul 04 2010

“Fireworks (use your imagination, and Happy 4th to you as well)”
NOTE: Read Part I if you have not.

  Old Two-eyes

Jun 29 2010

For someone like me, who is a fan of Olympus *and* a fan of old cameras, to find a Twin Lens Reflex (that’s a really old camera that has twin lens, hence “Two-eyes” for you young digital shooters) that bears the name “Zuiko” on its lenses, is akin to finding a free ice-cream stand on [...]

Jun 24 2010

Got it!
For some reason receiving a package from California is always blazing fast here in Texas, two and a half-days consistently.
Here it is:

Not another rangefinder, interestingly, but an SLR. A Zenit 3M to be exact.
As far as my reading goes, this camera is exactly the Zorki 6, which I like a lot, minus [...]

  Odd

Jun 16 2010

From time to time, there are photographs that just confounded me.
And in this case it’s my own, from a couple of months ago.  When I saw this frame on the scanner software, I was ready to chuck it into the trash bin, but somehow I just couldn’t do it.
Somehow after staring at it for [...]
