A Friday Said to be Good

Today is Good Friday, a day when the Christians remember the nailing of Jesus Christ on the cross some thousands of years ago.  Religion is something which cannot be seen or touched but trusted.  Where are we from and where are we going to after this life have been the eternal questions asked by believers and non-believers alike.

So, where are we going to?

For a lot of times, we may think that things are under control in our hands.  But we just even don't know what is going to happen to us the next minute.  I have a friend who celebrated for his newborn one day but cried over the baby's loss of over 50% of the degestive system the other day for no apparent reason.  It happened some years ago.  He is still facing the consquences with an iron mind.  Another friend of mine in Australia lost her son who died after falling from height at home.  She won't have expected it the minute before, would she?

R0013695 (Medium)(The warm glow of the cross and the environment colours in late evening that day caught my attention.  This is an old chruch building tucked away in a rather quiet neighbourhood which used to be a residential area popular among the British migrated to Hong Kong from their homeland)

So when someone argue with cogent reasons against Jesus Christ, I doubt if that person really knows that religion is something to be trusted.  If God is the one that a person can know by just reasoning, that god will be no smarter than the person is.

New Low Prices

The window shopping some hours ago has almost provoked my AgIDS illness.  Just in case you’re in Hong Kong or are coming here, and have the money to burn (All in HK$/ body only): GX200 = $3,280 GRD2 = $3,380 LX3 = $3,180 G10 = $3,280 Prices are available form a gear shop on the 1st floor of the Mongkok Computer Centre.   Besides these new low prices, I found that Wing Shing Photo (55-57Sai Yeung Choi St., MK Tel: 2396 6886/ 91-95 Fa Yuen St., MK  Tel: 2396 6885) is offering a Sony A700 + Carl Zeiss Lens package for HK$9,980 (hopefully, a bargain will make it some hundreds cheaper).

Mini Review of GRD II by Colin Bradbury

Today, we are going to learn some useful insights from Colin Bradbury in his mini review of the GRD II. Colin is a professional photographer stationed in Hong Kong. Photos are copyrighted to him. (St Agnes, Cornwall. 'Environmental' portrait) By COLIN BRADBURY: Just back from 2 weeks in rural England with the family over Christmas. Since this was a family holiday and not a photography trip I wanted to travel light. On that basis I left my DSLRs at home and took the GRDII as my only camera to save weight but also to see how useful it would be as the only camera in a variety of photographic situations. I have to say I was very pleased with it and didn't miss having a zoom or longer lens at all. The 28mm is a perfect single focal length and proved itself useful in a variety of situations. Landscapes are clearly well suited to the 28mm but less obviously I have also found it to be great for portraits. With a 28mm you are forced to do 2 things. First, to get in closer ...

Respite

(Ricoh GRD4) Yahoo! I found the invoice for the GRD4 and sent it to the dealer for repairing the malfunctioning manual focus, which rendered the snap mode totally useless.  I hope it will be soon for the GRD4 to be up and about.
