Photos & Photoshop

All of a sudden, my mind was distracted with some old photos from couple of years ago back in Malaysia. Luckily, I bring along with me a bag of cd’s containing pictures from various of places which I took using my digicam. This was the time I began to jump into photography world, before became fanatic about it. I realize that sometimes there are too many memories to be remembered when you are away from home and the most effective way I reckon to treat this wound is by looking through your old photos. At least they can make you smile, laugh or even cry.

I am a type of person who don’t really do major editing on my photos. Well, to be honest, I would love to learn how to use other tools on the Photoshop rather than just playing with basic editing. But my mind has been poisoned by photojournalism style which don’t require as much editing as we concern.

I can see nowadays people are so tempted to use Photoshop as a tool to make their photos look fantastic, amazing and superb and bla bla bla. I have no issue about it because I, myself use Photostop as well to do basic editing or colour correction or whatsoever you can deal with it. My worry is, as time goes by, I’m afraid there will be less people can really capture great photograph straight from the camera.

I personally, want to be a great photographer. I wanna have my own style of taking pictures. Let people recognize me by just looking at my photos. I know it’s tough and need a lot of hard work. It reminds me of back to basic lesson. Practice makes perfect. As in you’re about to learn how to ride a bike. At first stage, you’ll find it hard to balance your body but once you’re used to it, that just come accross automatically without even need to think about it anymore. In other words, don’t stop taking pictures. Grab your bloody weapon, go out and start shooting.

Love,
