On the trail of photojournalist

-

• America is still a place where ppl believe they can do anything they put their minds to.

• It may seem lik madness for a photographer to repeatedly risk her life in one of the most dangerous places on Earth and work wit da U.S troop from battles 2 battles, but that is exactly what I hope I could do as an avid NY Times photojournalist!

• Back in 2008, one year ago, while waitin' for Spring 2go2 college, i got a lot of time for walking 'round DC.
  
• I was here (V.A) and there (DC) almost every day.
  
• I spent all day just for watchin & capturin. Sound of shutter would hav been da only thing u heard those days.

• Whenever i use my wide-angle (da Sigma 17-70mm), i find mahself on da trail of photojournalist. It feels lik u can cover da whole frame and nothing be out of ur reach!
• And whenever i use my Canon 300mm, i've just already been there!

• There're moments never be replayed and make us reach 4 our camera.
• So many wonderful photographs, so many great stories! I can tell.
  

• Da photo had to stand on its own. And I had only a moment to shoot! ^^
  

• Talkin' abt these days, composition aint confoundin' me. Im comfortable wit my equipment, my EOS.

• I bring it everywhere: bookstores, cafe corners, libraries, campus, metro-buses.... and when i see sth wonderful, i just snap it to capture da moment, and then it's goin to be shared on my public storage, even da "Washington, D.C metro area" group on flickr!
• [ Gosh! How greatly i proud to be one in hundred of thousands members overthere! :P :P :P]
  

• Some people may ask abt my ideas for shooting, where does it come from,...
• Well, for one, it's abt my attemps 2be an Asian-American photojourlist, which means i aint too Azn to take a shot in American style! :P
  
• Next, i wish i could take a photograph encourages those who lack faith in their abilities.
• Finally, it would be so great if people & their emotions be captured in my photographs.

(However, i dun think standard is required if u wanna be a professional photojournalist! Followin a standard while tryin' to capture a moment.... it sucks!)
