MAJLIS PERNIKAHAN & PERSANDINGAN HAFIZ & KAMALIAH

2010-08-03T08:41:00.013+08:00

I hold two devices on my left and right arm. One is my canon and the other one is Sony Handycam which I also shoot on the very same wedding day. I'm not a pro in vidz capturing but I just want to have some fun with it. Experiment what I can do with it. And the result were quite promising. ;) Later I will upload the vidz.

VIEWING YOUR ANGLE THROUGH MOTHER NATURE

2010-07-13T17:13:00.001+08:00

Sometimes the best angle is to plan everything from the beginning. One advantage of doing this planned technique is that we could achieve the result that we want in a more professional way. So, why not sketch your creative idea into a piece of paper and start doing a storyboard to organize things out.

These images was taken four months ago when I travel back home to Serkat, Pontian, Johor. What I like most about my village was the surroundings of mother nature so close to my mom's house. This is the kind of place u can relax and escape your life from the big city.

Outdoor Potraiture

2010-02-13T22:28:00.002+08:00

My friend and I have a thought on shooting outdoor potraiture somewhere in Skudai. At last I came down to an idea where Hutan bandar MPJBT would be the best choice to shoot some photos over there. So we packed up our gadget ( i'm with canon ;-) and my fren nikon D90). Since the both of us are still learning on techniques of potraiture, so we gave out a try or two to see what happens to our photos. Is it going to be good, better or quality. ;-) hehehe...kidd me!! And the best part is we bring along our wives as a model!! ;-) my fren hold the flash. Thanx bro Kamarul Safuan a.k.a John.

A picture is worth a thousand words

2009-10-12T07:52:00.010+08:00

Meaning

A picture tells a story just as well as a large amount of descriptive text.

Incomplete chicken coop at the backyard of a village somewhere in Pontian

Theme: Journalism@work
Location: Kampung Serkat, Pontian, Johor Darul Takzim

Origin

This phrase emerged in the USA in the early part of the 20th century. Its introduction is widely attributed to Frederick R. Barnard, who published a piece commending the effectiveness of graphics in advertising with the title "One look is worth a thousand words", in Printer's Ink, December 1921. Barnard claimed the phrase's source to be oriental by adding the text "so said a famous Japanese philosopher, and he was right". A picture is worth a thousand words

Printer's Ink printed another form of the phrase in March 1927, this time suggesting a Chinese origin:

"Chinese proverb. One picture is worth ten thousand words."

The arbitrary escalation from 'one thousand' to 'ten thousand' and the switching from Japan to China as the source leads us to smell a rat with this derivation. In fact, Barnard didn't introduce the phrase - his only contribution was the incorrect suggestion that the country of origin was Japan or China. This has led to another popular belief about the phrase, i.e. that it was coined by Confucius. It might fit the Chinese-sounding 'Confucius he say' style, but the Chinese derivation was pure invention.

Many things had been thought to be 'worth ten thousand words' well before pictures got in on the act. For example:

"One timely deed is worth ten thousand words" - The Works of Mr. James Thomson, 1802.

"That tear, good girl, is worth, ten thousand words" - The Trust: A Comedy, in Five Acts, 1808.

"One fact well understood by observation, and well guided development, is worth a thousand times more than a thousand words" - The American Journal of Education, 1858.

The idea that a picture can convey what might take many words to express was voiced by a character in Ivan S. Turgenev's novel Fathers and Sons, 1862:

"The drawing shows me at one glance what might be spread over ten pages in a book."

Every picture tells a storyA similar idea was seen very widely in the USA from the early 20th century, in adverts for Doan's Backache Kidney Pills, which included a picture of a man holding his back and the text "Every picture tells a story".

Neither of the above led directly to 'a picture is worth a thousand words'. Who it was that married the 'worth ten thousand words' with 'picture' isn't known, but we do know that the phrase is American in origin. It began to be used quite frequently in the US press from around the 1920s onward. The earliest example that I can find is from the text of an instructional talk given by the newspaper editor Arthur Brisbane to the Syracuse Advertising Men's Club, in March 1911:

"Use a picture. It's worth a thousand words."

The little essay clocks in at 483 words. Perhaps I should have drawn half a picture?

GOING BACK HOME FOR NATURE

2009-10-05T16:56:00.005+08:00

Assalamualaikum...

dear readers & bloggers. Wow...everytime I posted a new thread, the word 'wow' always came to my mind in the first place. Perhaps, I don't know how to please you all with other decent word. ;-) kidding me! hehe..but on the other hand, the smallest word can be big and meaningful if we know how to appreciate others.

Syawal 1430 H still in the air and we're still in the mood of raya festive. But for some people those days are over. The fact that is they say, only the first few days of Syawal are the most busiest moment ever in our life. But I couldn't agree more..since my home is in JB and my kampong is somewhere in Pontian, I never agree that balik kampong once a month is totally an excuse! Every week I balik kampong maa.. ;-) kekeke...another kidding!

Ok, here are the samples of few shots I've taken during balik kampong. I post some of journalism shots at my flickr site. You guys can click here to view more of journalism photos I recently shoot.
