This is why we have Red Nose Day

March 13th, 2007 | Posted in Our World | 

I know this has been around a while, I remember discovering it a while ago. If ever you needed reminding what it is that charities around the world are working towards, is to never let this happen again.

The photographers name was Kevin Carter. A South African photographer having won a Pulitzer Prize for this photograph. The emotional turmoil which ensued led him to take his own life. He was 33. Police discovered him in his pick-up truck, parked in a Johannesburg suburb. An inquest showed that he had died of carbon monoxide poisoning.

Photographers were always told to never help for fear of disease. Something which he clearly regretted and could no longer live with.

My shiny new Nikon D70s

March 8th, 2007 | Posted in Photography | 

Ok, having been a 35mm user mainly in black and white, i decided it was time to go digital. Reason for decision, because my little boy had started making towers out of my undeveloped rolls of film.

So a stealth trip to a photography store in Singapore (Merdeka in sim lin square) in between my brothers wedding events, i purchased a Nikon d70s, looks good, thick manual, heavy, lots of buttons… perfect!

So where am i know, i am like in the safety zone of leaving everything on auto. Having been asked to take pictures from people who seem to think that because its expensive, it will make them look better… i felt scared to venture outside of “auto”, my one and only advance into the wilds of “manual” resulted in dark blurriness.

So i hope that this ongoing tale of adventure and disappointment will help others as clueless as me.
