I'm a tech head...totally in to gadgets and all thing electronic. So it having a fine instrument such as a 5DMkii wouldn't surprise anyone. What does surprise even me is how attached I've become to it. It's almost become an appendage. I carry it every day everywhere and I'm not even a full-time photographer.

I remember always being interested and fascinated in taking picture since i was young. I don't ever recall not having a camera, at least since I could afford one myself. However, nowadays, you would be hard press to find me too far away from at least 2 cameras (not including the one on my phone) at any given time.

The other things is that I'm also a natural-born story teller. I have some internal drive to narrate and teach. My mom reminds me of how as a kid, when she went looking for me, she would find me surrounded by other kids listening to my stories or watching one of my made up magic tricks.

Over the years, I've taken many many photos, mostly simple and superficial ones which give me a smirk as i glance by them printed in a box or scanning through some old file directories on the computer. I recall the those moments on the most part as only brief superficial glances in time. However, as I grow older and see things on deeper levels, I feel more attachment to my experiences. Once I realized that I could actually capture these deeper levels with my camera, well, it was quite an awakening for me. My pictures have now evolved into capsule full of richness and meaning and I no longer just glance at them when I come across them.

So I guess to me, my cameras have become instruments for me to tell deeper stories, a thousand words at a time...
