memory

It has been 14 years since you passed...
sometimes I forget how much I miss you...
but when I do miss you, it seem like I never forget.
I miss you dad.

A year pass, it seem like yesterday since we got to see each other at the very first time.
Happy birthday little one!

I had been carry my Nikon FM2 when I drop Pume off in the morning. Thought it will nice to take photo of  his classmates each year.
I found that taking kid's portrait is very fascinating...not sure why, but they feel so pure and honest. Another interesting found was that
all the boys wearing something that have some kind of  "super hero" graphic on it (I can not remember what Pume was wearing under his jacket)

I just wondering how these images will be able to tell the story about their culture now and how these can compare with the one
in the future generation.

sunday evening at home

looking out

i don't remember taking any photo of my kid (or any kid) crying (except when they were born).
May be because seeing them smile and happy make me feel good in general.
Seeing them cry make me want to drop everything and just go hug and hold them right away.
But I did wait a bit this time...taking time to capture that tear...it felt real and human.

new toy

Had lot of fun try out my new (used) camera I got from my friend with the kids.
The photo turn out underexposed..
that means I will have to shoot more to get to know this new toy ;)

mom

I remember dad used to be the one who take a lot of family photos. Now that I have my own family it seem that I am doing just exactly what he did. I have been taking a lot of photo of my kids and now I want to take more photos of my mom, seeing her through the camera give me a different experience than just looking at her through my eyes...especially when she is with my kids.
