Photography Means...
A colleague and friend posted this on my Facebook wall today:
"Saw this quote and thought of you ~ Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever . . . it remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything. ~ for the photos you capture, Liza!"
I am deeply humbled and moved by this simple but beautiful message she sent. I hardly consider myself a "photographer", and I've always aimed not to capture people and places and things. But moments, feelings and emotions. And because somebody thought of me when she saw such message, I would like to think that I have somehow achieved what I wanted to do.

Photo: One of my favorites--a photo I took of my sister-in-law and my new nephew last weekend. I am also learning how to create photocards in PS. I love scrapbooking, and I'm finding that digital scrapbooking is so much fun too! I am learning something new everyday.

love the photo..you're so good with your camera;-) keep taking photographs..;-)
I always say that our photographs speak a lot about who we are. And your photographs have a lot of gentleness and love and perfection in them.
Love this photo, Liz! :)

Cinds, as I'm sure you know, it is very hard to make photography fit into our schedules. I wish it is something I can do full time. I really like taking and editing photos. And I need to practice more. But thanks for always complimenting my work.

Chel, actually she is my sister-in-law. But you're not the first one who said she looks like me (and my sister). Daghan gyud bitaw niingon nga we look alike. I guess my brother picked somebody nga pareha namo. Hehehe...
Thanks Chel! You often compliment my work and coming from one of the photographers I admire, it means so much to me!
