I have made a decision to suspend all my photographic endeavors for the moment. Why? Two big reasons:

1. Not enough time investment. I have been very busy at work as software engineer, and out of work I have been a public speaker in social events and workshops. I have also been a part-time musician (with the arrival of my keyboard from Jakarta last night, my circle of instruments is complete - guitar, saxophone, and keyboard), and I am also taking care of the teenagers' camp project this year, at my local church.

2. Not enough financial investment to stay up-to-date. I own a manual ratchet-driven camera that costs me $10 per 24 shots. Not that I don't like it, but in the advent of digital revolution, my set of old tools just can't support the current paradigms that I am embracing, such as going green and reducing the amount of garbage. I would really like to get myself a dSLR, but right now it is not a priority item on my shopping list.

I don't write here often either. If you want to read my personal journal, go here: [link]
