Takeda Shingen (1521-1573)
“Learning is to a man as the leaves and branches are to a tree, and it can be said that he should not be without it. Learning is not only reading books, however, but is rather something that we study to integrate with our own way of life”
Yagyu Munenori (1571-1646)
“When a man in the beginning of his life is ignorant of everything, he has no scruples, finds no obstacles, no inhibitions. But after a while he starts to learn, and becomes timid, cautious, and begins to feel something choking in his mind, which prevents him from going ahead as he used to before he had any learning. Learning is needed, but the point is not to become its slave. You must be its master, so that you can use it when you want it.”
Tokugawa Ieyasu (1542-1616)
“You can't manage the Empire properly without economy, for if those at the top are extravagant, taxes mount up and the lower orders are embarrassed, not to speak of the effect it has on military finances. But a lot of people can't understand the meaning of the word thrift, and think it means only omitting to do what you ought to do.”
Thomas Hobbes (1588-1679)
“Man is distinguished, not only by his reason; but also by this singular passion from other animals... which is a lust of the mind, that by a perseverance of delight in the continual and indefatigable generation of knowledge, exceeds the short vehemence of any carnal pleasure.”
Alexander Hamilton (1755-1804)
“Men give me credit for some genius. All the genius I have lies in this; when I have a subject in hand, I study it profoundly. Day and night it is before me. My mind becomes pervaded with it. Then the effort I have made is what people are pleased to call the fruit of genius. It is the fruit of labor and thought.”

To be frank, I'm a big fan of High Dynamics Range picture. Yes, its HDR. This technique I learnt to compensate my Nikon D40 drawbacks. Well, if you meet some "old-schooler", they might say that what I'm doing here is "The Work of Devil" and a damn taboo in photography. Actually, I DON'T CARE!. For me, it depends on the photographer stand and point of view about the picture they want to represent.
Well, enough of this nagging... Just enjoy my pictures and please drop any comments to improve my skills. Have a nice 2010 yeah!
