cyberspace silence.. I haven't given up on my blog yet nor did my wife had give birth. just a bit busy doing some album of the last photoshoot. been a while , guess i was lost in the cyberspace..
Read a poster of the Signature Photographer last roadshow. I was taken a back when i read one of the talk topic was "Why pro photographer instead of a weekenders." It did hit me on my sensitive side i guess. The topic alone a bit provocative to the freelance or less glamour title "part time photographer"- "A WEEKENDERS" somehow doesn't ring melodically to my ears. it is not even a word.. try type it on a word file document, right click, synomyms ? i told u so.. not even a word.. A bit frustrated some well known pro photographer whom you look up to but choose to go beyond the extreme to promote their service. Anyway, business is business i guess. No doubt their service is top notch, but calling us the weekenders, oo come on.. our existence is simple, just an option. Just an option to the couples.. if our samples up to the client satisfaction, and our rates is half of the other can offer, why not..
p/s - heh, i told u it hit my sensitive nerve..

Hey man, I don't really entertain that kind of topic. Nobody can stop you from buying a camera and learn from it. Now a days everyone can shoot a picture just like Airasia. everyone can fly.
All you need is to get inspired by some cool photographers out there. Business can be so cruel but you need to understand their game and plan your strategy.
welll... at least now everyone can buy. I mean a camera, :)
Just make sure you don't end up becoming like the photographer you've described, years from now.... cheers mate!
