This year will mark that I'm into Photography for a Decade. Starting as a enthusiast then a Serious Hobbyist to a Semi Pro. But now I'm back into a serious hobbyist being busy with office work ( But I still welcome commisioned work if there will be oppurtunity). Four years ago I started to put my photography works online creating online galleries to show others my works and for others to criticize my works in order for me to improve more.
But nothing compares to seeing my photos in print. Eversince the digital technology started to Boom I seldom have my photos printed except for the one that is worthy of printing. But everytime I print some of my photo I still feel the excitement when getting my prints from the lab or waiting for it on the printer.
the photo above (not sure if Iposted this before) was taken in Kuala Lumpur around 1997 when I was still working there and starting to take Photography seriously with my first SLR.

Marsha the Cat

The Photo above is Marsha a Persian Cat. Pet of our next door neighbor. I'm not really into shooting Pets as its hard to get a good portrait of them as they tend to wonder from one place to another. Here one of the few frames I shot with her.

Festival of Sports Photo Exhibit

Just want to invite all of you (If youre base in Dubai) to take a look at the "Festival of Sports Photo Exhibition" being displayed from 11 March till March 31, 2007 at the Crescent Walk, Dubai Festival City participated by different Sports Photographer base here in Dubai and Iternationally.
Been lucky that couple of my entry were included in this exhibit One of them shown above.

This is Joyce a Good Friend and a Colleague. This picture was shot while waiting for our bus one evening after work. She has her shole with her so I ask to put it over her head to have a Middle Eastern theme. She is always a willing model in fact I have a couple of entries in our Camera Club with her as my model.

Tennis

There are 3 international sporting events I dream watching Live. NBA Basketball Game, Formula 1 racing and Grandslam Tennis Match. Got a chance to watch the third one not exactly a Grandslam Tennis but an ATP tour. Was able to watch the Quarterfinal matches of the Dubai Open Tennis Championship featuring Tommy Haas, Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal in seperate matches. Was able to take a good seat plus arm my Camera with Telephoto lens was able to take a good shot of the action.

You can see more photos here.
