I met Mr Zul on a wet afternoon in the park,
My new friend just bought a Nikon D200 and has been shooting
almost everyday for several months ...
We discussed about photography while walking about
hunting for shooting subjects ...
He did not know that I just started photography not too longer
ago as I started to talk about the importance of composition
over technique ...
Zul posted quite a number of his photographs in some
forums and got some harsh remarks from the so-called "pros" about meaning in
his photos ...
He asked me about my thoughts of meaning
behind a photo ...
I told Mr Zul the following
I rarely seek out "meaning" when I shoot.
I think I am interested in light, and its interplay over natural or non-natural forms.
I don't seek a larger meaning than that ...
And sometimes, I just shoot because I like it ...

And sometimes, I just shoot because I like it ...
I don't carry tons of gadgets or take 500 shots and 2 hours for a single subject
to get the supposedly "perfect" shot ...
Maybe I am not a perfectionist,
and do not deserve to be in the same league of the "pros"
and so e it
as I just love photographing ...
that is a good enough reason for me to click the shutter ...
and continue shooting the way I like it ...
