I Got Interested in Photography Because....

[Francis247]

I want to record my life and my surroundings as pictures, not only in colours but also in InfraRed.

The real motivation is because InfraRed photography, that I took up photography. Till to date, I am still shooting IR.

Actually I've always like to take pictures of celebraties and landscapes ;p, REALLY ... I had lots of disappointments where I had to camp n squeeze in crowds just to get trash quality shots of the celebraties, and besides, I really like landscape (but no $ to go overseas to shoot), I'm especially interested with shots with lighting in them . N besides, I've always been snapping away at friends during gathering with HP, PnS etc ...

At least, this is healthier than my previous 2 hobbies:
1. Online Gaming - Yes, I still play online games, but not as often ...
2. Hardware Hobbylist - At least the BBB poison in photography isn't really as poisonous as Hardware where you really gotta BBB everytime your hand itch for that new piece of equipment which just released :devil:

Although shooting girls is addictive, but that isn't the main reason for me to begin ;p REALLY ...Option 3 n 4 for me plz ;p ...

I got hooked when I was secondary 2, using my friend's ancient Olympus OM10. It unfortunately spoilt a few months after, and I left it at that till this year, when my other friend's Canon DSLR 20D lighted a fire in me. Currently planning hard to reenter the photography world.

i am interested in nature and would like to share what i see with everyone.
Plus the places i go to take the pictures are usually restricted and out-of-bounds to the general public =P but dun worry i enter there with a special research permit

I can't draw
I want to be able to take great pictures like the masters
I want to record my life and my surroundings as pictures

actually, photography is mainly a medium in which I recognise my aesthetic interpretations of the world with it. As with other artists, sculptors, critics, etc.

For memories sake so I can just look at my photos and remember what happened that day.
And also to be very honest...to take chiobus :devil:

Mainly due to the arrival of my son... wanted to take the best of him at every moment of his life

I want to show my kid's thiers, because I have less than 50 photo of my child hood. As of new born to 10 yrs old. Now I got nearly a thousand shots for my 3 yr old and a few hundred for the 4 month. Life is beautiful.... :heart:

OMG ... this is why i bought my first DSLR as well... i wanted to document the happy moments and sad moments in my life..so i may one day look back at these photos with my family and children.

My late father wasnt much of a photo person. so i have little or no childhood photos, i also dont have many photos to remember him by, though he lives on in my heart.

i want my children to have some visual aid when they think of their daddy many many years from now. im 25 now. but one day i will be 65. its hard to remember 40yrs, but with photos its easier.

Somehow, in a strange manner, I can relate to that. I'm luckier, have some photos to remember him by. Since picking up photography as a hobby though, I'm finding lesser and lesser pictures of myself inside snapshots. More as a record, like photo journal, of places you've been to and people you've met. Memories in your heart. Cheers. Snap lots mate.

yup .. im rarely in the photos as well..

i guess its whats around us that we are trying to preserve through photography.
