What made you pick up the camera and start taking pictures?
For me, I liked to capture things, in pictures, as memories, and it's very fun.

.. the camera was there ..
it looked cool ..
so i picked it up and used it .. .

and i all i saw through my lens was good ....
^_-

The money you can get when you become pro, Money make me happy =) And I ahve grown up in a dis advantaged family and it is hard, i don't have as much mooney as most kids do :'(

most kids are spoilt too much these days ...
too many of them hanging out too much on the streets ..
its sorta saddening ...

That's what started me at about 13.

Nuff said.

were you one of those stalkerinsh little boys who wanted to take photos of/with hot girls ?

Yes I was!

WOW ...

No.

Not that I have any objection to a tasteful portrait or fashion shot, I dont.
Not that I think photographing women is wrong, I dont.
Not that I dont trust myself, I do...........Now.
Not that I dont get the chance; I do, often.

I just tend not to. That's all.

hhehehe ..
yea hthats good then ..
its always good to have a nice looking girl in your photo...
i mean ..
a good looking person makes it easier to get a good looking photo ^_-

Lol not even a camera and a signed peice of paper rom some magazine would make any girl let my photo them =P

uhauha ..
thats why we have things called telephoto lenses ..
be like adam and hide in the bushes with one .. jkjk

take photos of creatures in their natural environment...
its like photo espionage ...

Peter: you were the one who came out of the bush with that big lens haha
when you went to say hi to your friend!!
so strange, she saw you emerge from the bush holding camera and big lens! *wonders what she was thinking*

I WAS NOT in the bush . and i dont know which friend this was ..

She was a girl, it was outside Reid library, not really bush, just many-trees area.
