Sharm, here I come again :D

Tue Nov 24, 2009, 9:43 AM
  • Mood: Tired
  • Listening to: Bye Bye Blackbird
  • Reading: The World According to Clarkson
  • Drinking: Pepsi
Since my last journal entry, I've been avoiding my camera and underwater photography on purpose at first and then just kinda had to.

You see, I stopped being a student and had to let go of the student lifestyle that lasted for a little less than a decade only to live the responsible life I'm expected to do. That means working from 8 to 8 in a job that I love (so far). If this means no time for photography, so be it.

Now, since I wont be having any vacations anytime soon, I thought, why not make the best of the Eid holiday and go to Sharm? Only, this time I wont be taking my underwater housing with me due to several reasons; one of which is I'm really not in the mood for carrying around two REALLY heavy backpacks only to get disappointed 24 meters underwater in front of the red anemone at Jackson reef just like last time! However, I will be bringing my land gear to shoot some happy faces and some shots from the active life in Sharm..

Instead, I'm going to enjoy my dives hopefully and try to return some of the favors to the man I owe it all to. He was the man who encouraged me to do underwater photography and he was the one who got me all excited about marine zoology and fish behavior. He used to be a great photographer back in the film days with a great eye and tons of potential. Now he decided to go back to underwater photography and needs just a little help in moving to the digital world.

Wish me luck and lets just pray that we have an active underwater photographer in our hands after this trip. :)

Peace..

Just another guy who's living an endless love story with the sea & nature.

I just love to shoot them and would gladly "shoot" anyone who abuses nature or the sea.

All God does is watch us and kill us when we get boring. We must never, ever be boring.

Give me anything in this whole fucking world that is exactly what it looks like!
