Ok … its not actually very new… I bought this Olympus EPL-1 about 1.5 months ago.

I’ve always wanted a small camera system that has the flexibility of a DSLR system and the profile of a point and shoot. This camera kinda meets in the middle. Its slightly larger than a point and shoot, and less powerful than a DSLR, but hey, you can’t have the best of both worlds.

Here’s how is sizes up against my working camera.

Ian’s photos in the below post are taken with this =)

Its been my wish to get hold of a small micro four-thirds camera since last year. The main draw was the considerably smaller size as opposed to a full DSLR system, but yet retaining most of the DSLR features. The significant advantage it has over the traditional point and shoot camera is the sensor size, and the interchangable lenses.

I still remember my last trip with my wife to taiwan, where I’ll lug my working camera taking wonderful photos in the morning, and end up dragging my feet with it squeezing through the packed streets of the night markets shopping. My back still hurts thinking about it. Hence, my wish for a more compact camera.

To all my friends out there who consistantly ask me which camera to buy, this would be my pick if you don’t want to invest in a DSLR.

Note to myself: post my taiwan photos

Since my last post was on Ian, here’s photos update. He’s now 6 months old =)





A small collage a made from his photos.

Hopefully with this post it will motivate me to shoot more and post more =)

Its been a few quiet months since I last posted. I’ve shot a couple of weddings, but they won’t be posted as requested by the couples.
My mac is currently in the ICU. Refused to start work on the last day of the lunar calendar and that kindoff stalled the album work I was doing.

Well, new year, maybe its time to get a new mac.

Well… I’m kinda bored at home now… got things to do, but I’m just can’t get myself into the mood today. I’m on 8 days MC after extracting my 4 wisdom teeth, and won’t be taking on any photo jobs this month.

I only realised last week, that when I migrated my website to my new address, I forgot to update my email address on the webpage and blog. The joys of aging :S. 

My apologies to all the people who have tried to contact me with my old address.

I’ll be away from 24th Oct – 1st Nov, so I would like to finish all the photos for my couple before I fly off. As and soon as I’m done, I’ll pick out some photos for posting.
