Here's my new article

Ok ok, so Pris is now chasing me to write something in my blog .... now, that I'm sitting down and starting to write, I realize that what I want to write about has already been written in Priscilla's blog, so everybody just go and read that article, and you will know what I am trying to write. Thanks Pris, for saving me time :D.

On another note, I'm sick and tired of losing cameras. After losing my Olympus and Canon cameras, I think I've spent enough money to buy an SLR for one lousy Panasonic Lumix FX-9. Oh well, at least I like this camera more than the ones that I have lost. Small and sweet.

The Olympus camera I shall not miss. With slow startup times (approximately 10 seconds), so-so quality pictures, and a bulky size, it has the worst of all worlds. However, I shall miss the Canon Powershot G3 for its swivel lens, and its ability to take discreet shots. Somehow, when a person realizes he is being shot on camera, his response will be different. The nicest pictures are often those of people in their natural state, when they do not realize they are being filmed.

Which is why it is sad that I have lost the Canon camera. It was also INK's favorite camera, and I'm sure he treated it like his baby (it's a good thing he let it go -- or his new daughter Ashley might get jealous). I am sure a taxi driver in Sydney must be very happy with his new found Canon Powershot G3 camera. He's probably showing it off to his friends right at this moment, perhaps taking pictures of his children and then his house. Or maybe he has sold it to a used camera dealer. It is the biggest tip I've ever left a taxi driver in my entire life. Why? Why?
