For someone who knows so little about gardening and spent so little time taking care of the garden, I am incredibly fortunate to have some very nice flowers around the house. These little flowers look like cherry blossoms to me but they are not. They are flowers from peach tree so may be I will call them apricot blossoms. I love the bokeh in these pics. :)
Someone once said to me that rose is a weed. I don't believe that is true but the classic rose bushes in my house are so hardy they are tougher than weeds. Awesome and beautiful! The flowers are large (as big as my fists put together) with very strong thorny stems. Their thorns are big and sharp too. Thank God for my Ansell Super Gloves (suede pigskin leather palmed gloves). I can confidentally grab hold of the stems without fear. They have served me for many years and have barely shown signs of wear. So good, I bought a new pair a couple of years back and they are still sitting in the cupboard waiting to be used... :)
Stretching the truth a little bit because the flowers below are not in my garden. They are not even in my house. They are flowers my mum received for her birthday thus they are in my parents' house.
I was born in HK but spent majority of my life in the sun burnt Australia. I am an IT consultant working in the finance and telco industries specialising in SCM.
As a freelance photographer, My portfolio includes corporate functions, community events, concerts, dance, sports, portraits and products. Clients include private and government as well as charity and non-profit organisations.
I picked up photography in September, 2004 when I purchased my first dSLR, a Nikon D70. God provided me a D3 in June '08 and business took off since then.
Photography is not about gear (although one can only see what your camera lets you see and I do love mine). It is the combination of light, colour, time, perspective, contrast, shapes, texture, pattern, emotion, connection and the story it can aptly and wonderfully communicate. With it, I have learnt so much about myself, the world around us - people, God's creation - nature, man's creation - architecture, the big and the (really beautifully) small and I have come across wonderful and inspiring people.
I hope to capture beautiful memories for you and your loved ones, or help to promote your cause through imagery.
