Run forest, run
A lethargic day out in the field.>> For once, photography has given me too much stress. I need to get away for a while. Very very bad mental health. But then again, my images have never been better before. Probably just a phase and it will pass. Strange that cheewei is always creating experiences, whilst other augers for a plain living.

To be honest, I doubt you like sports or not... You are such a quiet man in life.
the subjects are my guinea pig. i m only after the energy and expressions and nothing else.
You need to capture the emotions not expressions.
i have been to emotional in everything that i do. not a good thing. the expressions will fill up the vacancy in my portfolio. i am looking for expressive moments that can convey the moment of truth (I thought) but it may not be real.
Confused? Definitely. Photography only tell part of the story. There is no truth in the images, only subjec to one's imagination. In cheewei's mind, these are all but transient, only good for gap fillers. Just like planarising layers in BEOL.
No wonder you are not enjoying satisfaction from photography...get a new life.
well... in a way, i want to know how far i can stretch myself
u see, it started with a fetish for computer parts. that lasted for seven yrs. then comes photography, that lasted for near 7 years. it's always associated with the digit 7.
now that the viewfinder has allowed my imagination to take flight, i do not need it anymore than to satisfy my curiosity. nothing else. the pleasure of photography in writing is diff from the passion i am after. the passion of understanding the true meaning of living and being alive.
yesterday, i chanced upon a propsective buyer and while we were chatting along, we inadvertently touched on the topic of living. he recountered how he had lived his life very frugally and never get to enjoy a single moment until he found he had contracted kidney disease. with grace, his kidney recovered to 80% capacity and now he is constantly seeking for the truth in his life. he is married with two kids and a wifey. according to him, photography is an avenue to destress. to cheewei, it's just another step to scale. the initial stage has passed. tis now that i look beyond what i want in these toys to create my own world. yet as of writing, i still have second thoughts of what i really want. my heart is lying, or the truth is lying.
