The world is a canvas, our job is to paint it using our cameras.

He's like the male version of Olivia Bee.
It's bloody awesome. He's one of the first few people on Flickr that inspired me.
What is the thing you like the least about photography? The most?
There aren’t many things I don’t like about photography. I would have to say I don’t like how some people think they are professional photographers because they buy a heavy expensive camera. Photography isn’t about that. I know a girl (Tara) who created beautiful images using a simple web camera. That is talent and I think people confuse these things sometimes, which is really sad. The one thing I love the most about photography is that I can imagine a picture of something in my mind, and create it into something that is concrete, something that world can see. I like to draw, paint, and sketch but, Photography is the only thing that I have ever been able to express that picture in my mind with properly.
Do you believe that with the rise of digital photography the phrase “everyone can be a photographer” is true?
Technology only allows people to take better photos easily. It’s the way you use the camera that counts. People today think the camera is supposed to give you a good photo just by pressing a button. That’s terribly wrong. So, no I don’t believe it’s true.
What advice would you give to your fellow up-and-coming photographers?
Don’t let anyone ever tell you that they are better than you, because they aren’t. Also don’t be afraid to go out and take chances, if someone sees you walking down the street with a clown outfit on for a photo, don’t worry about it. The world in a canvas, it’s your job to paint it using a camera.
I just agree with all these he said. It's true and inspiring.
You never know till you try it. I mean now, I don't give a damn if there's cars slowing down to watch me, you know why? we do this, for art.
and Vivian Dawson is in Cleo this month. GO GRAB A COPY GIRLS. Because he looks so hot on the tiny picture on the cover.
A breakdown of today.
Winitsuksa students came today. Boss's friend, Golf, is here.
SSE was alrighties.
Geog no teacher.
Chinese compo. Chionged. The second half didn't make sense.
Recess full of hunger.
English was well.. english.
Math, Mr Wong was telling me and yun chuan we should listen to class. oops.
Physics test was okay. I didn't study much for it though.
Dance was cool-ish.
There's another person who loves my hair now. Heh.
'I think we're alone now' and 'you spin me right round' ARE SO ADDICTIVE.
I gave Jun Xi his giant box of gifts. It's all red and full of apple products. :D He loved it at least. Yay.
My Flickr views grew by a hundred plus overnight. Rare.
My stats been sucky. I had 5,000 plus in 4 months last year. It's 4 months in this year and it barely grew, 2,000 plus only. Okay, well I haven't been uploading anyway. There's only 16 pictures from this year.
I'm gonna flood it after May 15th. Or something.
I have LOTS of math corrections. Deepak kept suan-ing me. Hmph, try make people emo. Tsk tsk.
I don't know what else to say.
I'm looking forward to Friday. My sister says NJC will be there. National players from her school. They're gonna go support or something. School Nationals probably will just film the competition, phew.
Okay, THAT'S IT.
And then we stumbled to the ground and you said... I think we're alone now.

once there was me
I'm Janice, sixteen, but really, I'm three. I live in my own fantasy of endless imagination. I like the smell of new books and the wonders a camera can do. I laugh way too much.
And this, is my life.
