Ah great, more reason to get us Photographers vilified in the public mindset.

I’m all for street shooting, artform or otherwise, but the action of a few will screw it up for the rest of us. Street shooting for the sake of street shooting is fine by me, but be careful once you even think about showcasing those photos. Post a few photos of a person doing something pretty embarrassing, or have some sort of mishap befalling him, or in this case, posting photos of underage children, the general consensus can be as mortifying as what has happened in the US, (paranoia of paedophilia is rampant over there). Self censorship is key, and if you think you’re above everything and you view your photos to have no flaws and can do no wrong, you’re just opening yourself to trouble. And screwing it up for the rest of us.

I’ve shot thousands of photos of children portraying their innocence and exuberance of youth, I wouldn’t even dare to think of taking it any other way.

Whoa! I’m in the twitter discussion.

On a serious note, yeah I’ve been looking for some or any modeling agency in Brunei. So far, there is one but its pretty beat down for a modeling business. Sure, there are photo-studios and hair-salons who have models too but they are only part modeling for those kinds of business. If you know any other modeling agencies in Brunei, let me know.

On the blog post, yes I believe that there should be rules on whether kids can go model for a photo-shoot or not. Someone should put some sort of awareness for this or something.

Here’s my take on it:

Has your opinion changed since you posted this? Django has come a long way since then, as I imagine CakePHP has, too.

On failure and perseverance

“The absolute secret to Silicon Valley success is failure. This place reinvents itself because we know how to fail in the right way. Silicon Valley was not built on the spires of earlier successes but on the rubble of earlier failures.” Paul Saffo

Comment on Financial planning, the TAP 2009 dividend and the BIBD Al-Kauthar fund series #brunei by Khairul

This is really interesting and coincidentally very related to my project that I am doing right now for one of my course. It isquite worrying that the level of financial literacy in Brunei particularly awareness on the importance of having a proper financial plan is really low. I actually done quite a bit of research on this issue when I was doing a research with CSPS in last December and its just shocking with the amount of debt in Brunei just over the top. It is also interesting to know that the Government is really trying hard to put in place control or preventive measures to curtail the huge level of personal debt. However, what I found that there is no proper financial literacy initiative a part from ad-hoc Roadshows which usually organised by TAP from time to time. So the focus of my project is to introduce a more targeted and proper financial literacy initiative. As part of the requirement of this project is to create a blogsite, so I invite you to visit my site and please leave some comments and feedbacks where I can improve it further.

Thanks Pg.

Comment on #lost Theories – The Nemesis (#maycontain #spoilers) by ar

Woah! That is some deep analysis . I take the episodes as they come, and will quickly admit that I know nothing about Egyptian lore despite it’s coupling into the series… I just keep craving for an answer and not look for own…. Ahhh the slacker in me.

In any case, I personally think that Jacob stands for destiny, seeing that the Nemesis seeks to leave the island. Also what with Jacob guiding and drawing them to the island, Locke having complete faith in Jacob following all his orders.

On another note, I believe that everything is going according to Jacob’s plans. I think he knew he was going to get killed at the hands of the Nemesis. It just seems to convenient that he gave Hurley the ankh.

Also, I am wondering what happened to Desmond. He was nowhere to be seen when that plane landed.

Then there us the question of the alternate timeline/universe. How will that play into the island? They blew up the island in the past, thus being transported back to the present, as the island that they were on in the past no longer exists… and now I am following the implications of that thought only to confuse myself. Time anaomolies. Always a pain. lol.
