I was doing my third photobook - the compilation of photos, when we're in Shanghai, China, in year 2004
while doing the photobook, I just realized, how little photos I have taken... regret, regret and tonnes of regret!! sigh...
.....................
The previous 2 photobooks, 1. Tokyo, 2. Melbourne
Tokyo - many photos, but when I was digging our own trip in year 2006 (went there with friends in year 2008) while doing the photobook, again, "why the photos taken were just so few??? why??????"
Melbourne - ok... good-enough number of photos for me to play with
.....................
Today, I received my China photobook... we're flipping through it
AND there were just soooooooooooooooo few pre-Shanghai's - ie. HongKong/Macau photos...
I was just sitting there, simply regretting... and even start to wonder why there're just so few photos for me to do photobook (ya, I'm kinda addicted to photobook in fact, simply love it)
suddenly... he realized first, and told me...
we've just got our digital camera when we're in HongKong, year 2004, Olympus Z-1
with a pathetic 128MB of memory card...
YA!!!!! DAMN PATHETIC, I'VE TO SAY!!!!!
when we went to Tokyo 2006, again, we went with this camera (though a good digital camera) with the 128MB memory... SIMPLY PATHETIC RIGHT?????
that's the super duper pathetic reason, why my tokyo photos during that time were just so few...
and now, I can recall the painful every single nights, after going around tokyo with the 128MB of space that we can store our pictures for that day, I've to go to the common area (we're staying in youth hostel) to try to fight for a PC and transfer the photos to my whatever drive that I have in hand...
again... another part of PATHETIC story... we only brought our super duper small flash drive - again 128MB (ya, that time, it's kinda big... my first flash drive by Omega) and LUCKILY I brought the 1GB iPOD Shuffle there and at least, I've 1GB extra to store... but serious... it's just... besides being sadly pathetic, I really don't know how to describe ourselves that time...
every night... I went to the common area, to transfer the pictures...
when we went to Australia... ya, we finally bought another 1GB memory card for our Olympus... FINALLY!!!
finally the camera has more space to grow... and capture more memory...
......................
in year 2008, we planned the tokyo trip with our friends...
as the Olympus that we've, while it's made (in year 2004, or earlier, I don't know the history) it's not made for bigger memory card... ie. it took hell-a-long time to startup...
"how to use this for travel??"
and since nowadays, we've much much more choice with much much more bigger capacity that we can have... sometimes, even for free...
we bought a casio exilim...
ya, it's something that I just couldn't get over with, when I saw his colleague using a casio exilim, which she could happily put it in a simple leather card holder, unlike our Olympus camera, which is much more thicker to fit in anything, besides its own brand's cover...
finally after awaiting for 2 years, I got an exilim...
........................
and this time we went to tokyo, fully prepared...
since I've "acquired" quite a couple of flash drives (with bigger capacity, for eg. 2GB, 4GB)
and since our exilim itself comes with 1GB memory too...
I was happily snapping away anything that we came into, when we're in Tokyo...
........................
like what my friend said, "aiya, if not nice, later can delete" (haha, she said that, while she's taking a photo of me - on my wedding day, ironically funny!)
like what my other friend said, "film is cheap, travel is expensive" (that's when we're still using the CANON "dummy" camera, with 24 / 36 frames of roll of negatives - can't remember how much each roll of film cost though) - now, it's rephrased to "travel is expensive, digital photos are almost FREE!!"
.........................
that's why~~~ I love technology...
it really has made our lives got much more convenient, better and better...
and look at me...
I'm taking photos of our new member in the house - baby, almost every day, at every few hours...
and neither he, nor me, can hardly find more than 10 photos of our BABY-TIME photos when we're at that age... (most commonly is that precious ONE photo at maybe 1 or 3 months, where our parents brought us to one of the local studio, put us on the chair, and SNAP!)
life...
time...
technology...
life...
hai...
AND I love technology... most importantly handphone is a camera...
simply~~ convenient~~
