photography

loving it! got into photography from the work that i do. i’m required to take pics all the time for a&p purposes. the company provides us with a digital camera, so my exploration began & interest blossomed. what’s cool about it is that digital photography goes well with all sorts of imaging software. my all time favourite is adobe photoshop, then coreldraw! the day did come for me to own my very 1st digital camera. woo hoo! i carry it everywhere i go now & try to find interesting subjects or elements to capture.


anyway, i finally found a super helpful book entitled “the digital photography handbook” by doug harman. purchased it from popular bookstore for a reasonable RM26.36 (after a 20% disc for members). it’s simple, comprehensive & wonderful for beginners like myself. i’m absorbing it like a sponge.

if you’ve got helpful photography tips, PLEASE share it with me ^_^

story time

i love children’s books. i can be in the children section of a bookstore forever. i love the simplicity of the stories created for young intelligent minds & the beautiful illustrations that come with it.

i bought 2 books for an the other day. both books are clearly transportation/occupation & construction site/machinery related. books that can interest him for a good long time.

the 1st book has this special window in every page. it’s a see-through piece, somewhat like an ohp transparency with realistic images of a work site – dump truck, cement mixer, crane, fork lift, etc. it was a rather costly small book but the creativity of the author & illustrator is brilliant.



the 2nd book teaches a child to ponder on the given situation & discover the best solution with the aid of a wheel. it’s not too hard for youngsters cos coloured clues are offered to match the solutions from the wheel.


an was glued to both books instantly. the end.
