What's your story?

Izaac and VJ shades front, originally uploaded by redhatkeeper.

I started taking pictures with a Film P&S. Started with 1 click. Had it developed with boring composition, and they are still. With family as my favorite subjects. Or only subject for that matter.

Then I was introduced to digital photography. Less capable 3 MP Canon P&S, when clicked showed more blurredness. Then Canon have it replaced (yep for FREE) with an A510 kickass swivel LCD.

I was then introduced to TrekLens. I was like shooting anything that moved. Trying every PP workflow. I was always critiqued and was eager to learn. Then I found out that B&W rocks.

I know we all have the same, or almost, story. We enjoyed family as models. We are so ecstatic to see them smile. And when we took a shot that was so unusual that they call it art as it is.

Kudos to them. I am in photography now because of them. =)


Now these two models, Izaac(my son) and VJ(my nephew) (left-right).
