Picking up the Pieces

I have to admit that I was on the verge of totally giving up photography as a hobby. Shocking but true. I found myself being more content with spending my little snippets of available time on MSN or catching EPL Highlights. But what a waste it would have been if I did.

I feel bad for abandoning Photomalaysia.com. I used to be one of their most frequent visitors and heavily contributed to their discussions. However, the urge to mingle around the photography circles has left me, which went hand in hand with me not having any new pictures to share.

Spluging half a fortune on equipment has weighed heavily on my conscience. How could I let all that money and more importantly time spent vaporize just like that? Sure I could sell all my stuff at a loss. But what if the bug decided to make like a boomerang and bite me once again?

A wonderful Christmas spent at home ended with a long and lonely journey back to the Ganu with a car packed will all my photo stuff. I had to make use of it. Sure it may not seem like I have the time. But all those times when I've seen something photo-worthy only to let it slip by will continue to haunt me unless I took action.

I have to say that it feels good that I have my stuff with me. It's only a matter of time before my colleagues discover that I'm a huge photo buff and label me as the official photographer for this event and that. I dont mind really. Heck, I'm already in the company rock band and regular futsal kaki. I cant continue living like an outsider. I've got to break into the group and fit in.

Anyway, this post has already gone down the road as just another one of those lists of disjointed rants. But before I end. I'd like to just share some photos I took this morning while scouting out for places to bring my visitors.

I love this Pantai Kemasek beach. It's got so much potential. Not that i'm doing it any justice at this time. But soon I will.
