It has always been my life goal to be constantly learning, constantly improving and constantly growing. There’s a saying, “when you are green you grow, when you are ripe you rot”. I value that phrase very dearly and keep it close to my heart as the day that I stop learning, would be the day I die. I read books, listen to audiobooks  and sermons on my iPod, spending hours on Wikipedia (yes, Wiki can be a great source of learning) and occasionally meeting up with like-minded people in the industry that I am in. I strongly believe that spending time with a group of counselors would increase your knowledge and experience by many folds.

As part of my constant desire to learn, I’ve just signed up for my third photography workshop for 2010. Photography workshops don’t come cheap and like any other good, professional, note-worthy workshops out there, it would cost most people an arm and a leg. I’ve long decided that in order for me to improve on my photography skills, I will have to invest in my education. Without a doubt, next year would be a year of learning, improving and reinventing myself.

The end result, would eventually translates to the photos you’ll see here and ultimately being passed down to my lovely clients. There would be changes to the services and products that I offer for next year. The only reason for that is because I believe that my clients deserves the best and that quality & service should always be at the top of our list in eeyern photography. I’ve set some goals for next year and hopefully I’ll be able to share them with you in time to come.

Like one of my favourite authors would say, “People only think to the level of what they are exposed to. If you want to think big expose yourself to bigger things”.

Continue to stretch. Continue to grow. Think big. Never stop learning.

Hey,

I should be on my way to Langkawi by the time you read this. I’ll be having a helluva time with the Wedding Story team. They’ve been a great sport by inviting my wife and I on a retreat with them. I’m sure I’ll be enjoying myself there, soaking my feet in the pool and enjoying the beautiful landscapes of Langkawi. Honestly, I’ve never been there before, so I’ve no idea how it looks like.

For today, I’ll be posting a FAQ video post. I thought I’d just share a few things I’ve picked up from various photographers. Thanks guys for sharing all these knowledge with me and I plan to impart to others as and when I can. So, the question is how do I store my CF Cards and my batteries? Enjoy!

Ok, since I’m not a pro in Nikon gear, I must have mistaken it with some other battery pack that Nikon uses. Anyways, the SB900s uses 4 batteries like the Canon flashes. Good to know when and if I switch to Nikon. I know some people would be delighted if I do.
