Although I started shooting when I got my very first camera phone, which wasn’t long ago, I call myself a noob when it comes to photography. People might be having a second thought of following “a photographer” to my name, but I am braved enough to say that it is the path that I want to follow through.

I am a noob and I am obsessive in taking photos, like I took the photo above and one hundred more (no, I’m joking) while I was standing in the middle of the rain.

I stopped before somebody notices me and horrifically charging me the invasion of their privacy.

I am a noob, that’s why I am jumping with joy when somebody appreciates and gives high regards of my photos.

I am also in static when a person will ask me for tips on how to get good photos or where to start. What will I say?

I said:

• Don’t get confused with the gadget, it doesn’t matter. In fact, my blackberry is nothing compare to his Canon Powershot SX110, a good photography is not measured with the gadget, by the way.

• Photography is subjective, it is how you see it and don’t depend on how other will say, for a start believes in yourself and others will believe in you.

• You take pictures that not say that you were there; you take pictures that tell stories.

• Start seeing, imagine and then create. Those are the three that explain what photography is.

• Never stop taking pictures. In a thousand of photos, you’ll get yourself a hundred that you will surely like.

• And last but not the least, READ YOUR MANUAL, make it your reference.

• And there is a million of tips that I, myself, needs to learn.
