I had the fortune to have friends like Anup, that share their knowledge with me unconditionally. The human need to connect and small daily gesture of sharing does not solve world hunger problem but it does make the world a better place to live in. It can certainly make another person happier. Who knows, the new found knowledge (photography) may change your life? Live life with gratitude. Share your knowledge. Return kindness.

Ring Flash for the real world ...
Sigma 50mm f/1.4 EX DG HSM + Canon 580EXII + Orbis Ring Flash. I just bought the Orbis Ring Flash. Call it craving or buy flu, I want...! So how does this tool helps me in my quest for photographic excellence? WoW, I must say I'm happy with the results. It is a huge and cumbersome accessory. However, it does helps you to take shadowless picture effortlessly. It just works and just make sure you have a pair of strong hands.
"In Remembrance of Nat"
We had our partner conference at Eilat in November 2007 and here is a picture of Koby, Nathawuth and Ray. Unfortunately, Nathawuth passed away on 24 April 2010 and a reminder to us that time is fleeting and life is unpredictable. Let’s not take it for granted. Live life with love, courage and passion.
