Lately, I spent quite some time every day looking at photoblogs from all over the world.A few photobloggers are really good photographers. The photos come from all corners of the globe;some of them are quite extra-ordinary photos taken by ordinary folks. It seems that everyone with a digital camera is capable of being a photo-journalists!
Previously, I can only see unique and strange photos from National Geographic magazine, but now I can see for free from ordinary people's photoblog.
About two years ago, I bought a cheap digital camera from Kodah.It cost me RM 888.It is not much, but for people like me who only knew how to click,it is more than enough. Most of the snapshots I took are kept in my computer and CD's.
Some time around the middle of last year, I upgrade my camera to a little bit better-from Kodak to Olympus.By default, I became the official photogpaher to my wife's garden.Whenever a flower blooms, I will be commanded to take photos.Some of them are posted in this blog and a few good ones are archived in the photo albums on the left hand side of my blog.
A few years back,mobile phones are only for business people. Now,almost everyone is having one.With the reduction in price of digital cameras,almost every family is having one.The mobile phones and the digital cameras are no more luxury items.With smart phones and connected pda's with cameras, one can upload the photos as soon as they are taken.
Nowadays, we donot need to carry a camera.Certain phones also have cameras built-in. With the right gadgets and softwares, we can snap photos and send them immediately to our photoblog websites!
Personally, I have acounts at textamerica.com, fotopages.com and lately I am testing splashblog.com. If you have a photoblog, please let me know so that I can enjoy your work of art.
Note: What is photoblog? Here is the answer.
Sometimes an ordinary photographer can look professional as well. Some of your photos are great. I have not been taking pictures seriously for years. Now that I have a camera phone that I started to snap photographs again but not that often. May be I need to brush up a little bit. The skill is no longer there. My eyes no longer capture good subject nor exciting object. :-( may be I need to rest a bit from my work.
Keep your photos coming. I love to see our world from the lens of a camera. :-)

i like fotopages more than the others...you can have great photo shots just by using simple digital camera (read as digicam). not necessarily owning a slr though....

Knizam,
Given the choice,I prefer a SLR;-)
Agreed with you Knizam.Even a cheapo mobile phone camera can produce great photos if it is in good hands.

I once read an advice by a professional photographer:
"Good pictures not necessarily needs good/quality camera, but how you focus/compose the subject correctly".
But if I have enough money, looking forward to have a digital SLR, slurrppp! :)

I've got a photoblog but it's been ages since I update them. I even forgot the name & password I use. In short, I even forgot that I have one! ;-)
