I got few nice photos this month. And I hope I can get hold of the camera more often next month, we’ll see about that. Anyway, let me share to you some of the photos I took, not too fancy but I am aiming to at least use the DSLR every month.

I’m also finishing a couple of albums, two actually. 1 | Is the almost done 12 Days of Christmas Album and I’ve decided to make the cover just like this. Almost because the 12th day has so many pictures, I don’t know how to arrange them into spreads.

Then there is 2 | Our Hong Kong 2010 Trip Album that is way long overdue. Here’s a preview.

Spread 1

Spread 2

I both a couple of kits for the album and had a glitch with one of the kits and so I’m still waiting for the owner of the shop to respond to my request. Anyhoo, the kits are for this album so I just can’t start making spreads and leaving them unfinished because I still don’t have the elements of this one particular kit. I’m OC like that. When I start a page, I want it flattened and uploaded to the album site when I’m done. So the HK album is hanging.

With my friends starting Facebook pages for their sidelines, I’m starting to think of making my own with regards to album making. I just don’t know if I can handle the deadlines and pressure of making it if ever I get clients. But I’m definitely most interested to do so. 2 friends I have already asked me to photograph for them but in this aspect, I am just not ready, I’m not confident in that aspect, I feel that I still have so much to learn when it comes to Photography, I tend to go inside my shell when they asked me but in making albums, I’m kinda confident of the results I made and I think I can do services not just for friends but for trustful clients as well. Anyway, speaking of which, I got too bored the other day and tried editing a couple of night shots from our Hong Kong Trip and I love the results…

So there, thanks for reading! Happy Weekend with your family!

The photos should be from January 1-2 but since our weekend was extended until Monday, I had to use photos from January 3. I also want my first page to be all about my boys so here you go…

I joined the project because I want to have a reason to take photographs and use my DSLR every weekend and not just that, of course, but to make memories by using my skills in digital photography. I’m so grateful that I learned this skill that not so many can comprehend and have patience in learning it. I know I still have so much to learn and I know practice makes perfect which is why I am joining this project. I hope I can pull off the 52 pages for 2011. I wasn’t very successful with the 365, so I am hoping for this to be a success.

I’m joining Peppermints concept of Project 52. I still don’t have a clue what to do but I will definitely try to grab and hold on to my dslr during weekends. I don’t want it getting dusty without using it. If I’m really serious about this hobby then I might as well take pictures. Do you want to join the challenge? Click on the image.
