Photography
I must admit I know little about photography. But I think I can still recognise a well-taken shot when I see one. On my way home from a short meet-up with Pei Shan and Wen Shan, I was pondering over how I should spend my Sat night. I was staring blankly into the sky when suddenly I had the idea of surfing the web for pictures of beautiful landscapes. A random search for pictures turned out to be a fruitful one.
I chanced upon the works of an absolutely talented Portugese photographer, Matilde B. Her photos are simply inspiring. Love ALL her pictures. They're all well-composed and the colours are really beautiful. Some of the shots she took are of little details that we will think are very ordinary, but she composes them such that they seem to be sending a message or telling a story. It's just amazing. It'd be such an honour if she could take my wedding pictures for me a few years down the road. Heh. Of cos, she's a pro who uses a pro cam.
If you're interested to see her stunning portfolio (you won't regret it), check out this link: http://www.flickr.com/photos/matilde/sets/
Shall share some of my finds here. Includes some pictures taken by other photographers, all found in Flickr.
Quoted from Matilde B.'s caption for one of her photos:
"It takes a lot of imagination to be a good photographer. You need less imagination to be a painter, because you can invent things. But in photography everything is so ordinary; it takes a lot of looking before you learn to see the ordinary. " - David Bailey
How true...
*********
Met Pei Shan and Wen Shan today. Haven't seen them for so long! Pei Shan's flying back to Melbourne in 2 days. Sob. Have a safe trip back babe. We must make our trip come true, ok girls?!
My dear old pals. Love u all. Muackz!
I've originally uploaded some photos I was so impressed with to share with you all. But I believed I may have UNINTENTIONALLY violated some copyright rules in doing so (received an angry email from Matilde B. herself) and had to take the pictures off public status in my Flickr account which results in the pictures not being displayed here. No choice. Nonetheless, I seek her understanding that I'm just a newbie in Flickr and I don't have any ill intentions whatsoever. If she still thinks otherwise, there's really nothing much I can say.
