Week of 1st Jul, on film

7788 done with packing of my luggage for London. Because I've still got a summary report to write (thanks to watching movies on the flight back instead of working!) no detailed reviews yet but here's a picture post:

7 years in Tibet

Just a short one, because it's a holiday.

And kind of a private joke but i'm providing some background on it.

I have this friend, a phD in mechanical enginnering friend (call him Dr Huang, he's graduated now), he's the one who first introduced to me and lent me an SLR camera, the Nikon FE2. He's into all kinds of cameras and owns anything from Leica to Hasselblad to Rolleiflex. 

So right, this friend of mine. He often says he wants to go to Tibet, because he was inspired by the Movie '7 years in Tibet' (which starred brad pitt, if you didn't know).

And today i came across this photo

And so i reposted it on his facebook,

W.H. Huang bring hasselblad and go tibet 7 years = this result

Haha. Don't you wish you looked as good holding a Hassey?

A soft spot

Every photographer has a favourite kind of subject-

it could be an object, such as a lock, or a pair of shoes;

it could be a landscape, such as a barren field;

it could be a person, like an old man.

for me when I first explored analogue photography, i found myself to be very fond of taking photos of children. It's because they're very frank-

with children, what you see is what you get.

There's pretty much nothing more than meets the eye.

They're not over complicated like us adults- 

They are simple, they are honest, and they are carefree. 

Though i no longer am particularly fond of taking children's photos, the soft spot still remains.

what about you?

what's your favourite photography subject?
