Max
Max, in not so many words, is an (almost) impossible dog to photograph. I am undecided if he is camera shy or he simply enjoys annoying me. The minute the camera is pointed at him, he turns away. So, I am left with having to think of different ways of photographing him.
A dull day, a sad day, a frustrating day — but everything seems bright when a small furry object hurls into your arms and tells you how very glad he is to see you home. Pam Brown, B.1928
The moon
There is something mildly satisfying about being able to capture a decent moon shot. I was beginning to have my doubts about this but yeah…. here’s a pretty decent one that was taken recently. 
Such nights make me wish I had a tower set up on the roof of my house. I believe I could sit there for hours just starting at the skies.
Joe McNally is amazing!
I’ve been browsing through the aisles of Kinokuniya a lot and if you’ve been to the photography section recently (which is upstairs), you would’ve noticed Joe McNally’s book entitled “The Moment It Clicks”. I stood on my feet for 2 hours reading the book. I didn’t know that at a corner at the end of the room, there was a bench. But the 2 hours spent standing were so worth it! It’s an amazing book and here’s a video of Joe McNally giving a talk about his book.
The video is over 60 minutes long. You’ve been warned.

Up, up and away!
My favourite jumper deserves a post of its own. In fact, I think it has generated a personality of its own… or maybe it has given me the kind of personality that I would like to have. I’m not referring to the whole Clark Kent/Superman glasses on/glasses off thingy but rather standing up for what is right and what I believe in.
Here it is y’all… my Superman jumper.
Fyi, this shot was taken using my Nikon L3 during lunch by Skinny.
