after confining myself in the room for a few hours, i told myself it was time to walk around shooting. most of the flowers and trees had been snapped before, so i had to be more creative looking for something else to capture, in the same old area.

still, i went to the same places, but looked a little bit closer and tried to be more creative. sometimes, when the big beautiful things are too outstanding, you won't see the smaller beauty. that's why you have to look closer to see the ones hiding..

i've been using this camera and this kit lense for 10 months now and i've been tempted to buy a new lense for a more advanced step. but i have kept telling myself that i take pictures for pleasure and for passion, not for money or to complete with anyone, so i don't need a newer and more expensive lense to just satisfy my ego. yeh, i've been telling myself so for a wee months now... and it won't be going to happen next year too, as i have to save money and being a creative tightwad for a bigger dream.. money seems like a challenge this year.. it's fun to be creative in many aspects of life, though..
