Of Giving
Reverend Philip Lim was speaking on Giving during the 7:30 am service last Sunday, and he made a funny at the start of the sermon. It’s the kind of joke that sticks in your mind. My memory’s a little fuzzy
Onion layers
Having picked up a used 50mm f1.8 prime lens for cheap from my colleague and also resurrected my 20 year old 70-210mm lens, the last lens to finish up the series was to be a macro lens. I haven’t got
Dust bunnies
It was a matter of time before dust finally get into and settled on the sensor, especially now that I spend so much of my free time at home playing around with the D300 and the six lenses for it.
Table clearage
Here’s something that mildly peeves me about Singaporeans; that so many people just won’t return their trays. When Ling and I started going out years ago, I made it a point to get both of us to return our trays

Strapless, baby! :)
One of the most tricky things about tottering around a heavy DSLR is the sustained fear that you’ll accidentally drop the damn thing when trying to swing the camera out for a quick shot. There’s the neck strap of course.
Data retrieval
A student was chatting with me last Tuesday afternoon about DSLRs. Basically, he was interested in getting into digital photography, and was asking my opinion on a Nikon D60 setup. We got into quite a discussion, and one issue I
No Questions Asked
I remarked in an earlier post the other day about how there were two printing blemishes in the photobook I did for Ling. It’s a sort of inch long ink smear on one of the last couple of pages in
