Additional Info:	I am a self taught freelance graphic designer/photographer from Singapore. Worked in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia in the 80's and have travelled across Europe, New Caledonia, Mauritius, Re-union Island, Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam, Taiwan and japan. Ever since I was young my dad has encouraged me to be a photographer as if he knows what my future will be. I was naive then thinking it's a boring job shooting family portraits, passport photos and what not. But after secondary school, I chose Graphic Design and began a career as a graphic designer ever since. It was then that I realized through my design career that photography has a much wider scope of creativity. However it was a bit late to change my career. I still dabble in photography as a hobby but no plans to be a professional photographer then as the equipment & processing costs is pretty steep. Time passes by so quickly and i have already joined the ranks of the retirees. It was when digital started to reach its peak creating a new era in digital photography that I began to look at what it can offer. The great thing with photography is that you'll never stop learning. Always a new point of view, a new technique, a new aspect. With my design knowledge and photoshop skill, getting my pictures right is not much of a problem. I have known some film photographers who are reluctant to make the switch to digital. Reason? Either they do not have the processing skill which is crucial for post processing or they are simply too ignorant of the progress of the digital age. Sad to say, they were all left behind. I Started digital photography experimenting with a P & S Lumix FZ7 followed by a Nikon D80, Fuji S5Pro and currently own a Nikon D300. I love digital as every shot is instant replay and that makes you confident to explore without worrying about film processing costs. Being a self taught, I pick up tips from photography magazines, explore techniques from friends and get tips over the internet. Going digital has allowed me to share my images worldwide thanks to flickr.
