HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! 2017!!! WOOOHOOOO!!! YEAHHHH!!! Ok I'm done...
When I was "ending" my APAW 2016, it kinda make me think about how have I been doing and where am I now in terms of photography. I've been interested in photography since I was little, but it was only until recent years (when I got my own camera, Fujifilm X-T1) I started my journey on photography. It was 2014 and then nearing the end of 2015, I made the move from Fujifilm to Sony (A7ii) for 1 sole reason. Full frame, which enables me to fully utilize all the legacy lenses I own. I must say, the change made a great impact on the way I shoot. Everything became "closer" due to no more crop factor and the connection between me and my subjects are much "visible" than before. However, we don't connect every time. So for the coming weeks, while trying to maintain my pace as I did last year, I'll be looking for the connection between me and my subjects. Be it just an exchange of eyesight or being at the same scene, I do hope I can slowly find the connections instead of just capturing what's on the surface. I doubt I will hit it every single time, so... Wish me luck!
