Photography
Most of my friends know I’m moonlighting as a wedding/events videographer. What started out as a hobby has turned into a little side-income for me. But my real interest is still in photography. Videography, well, helps finance my photography hobby. Equipment, films, processing costs, servicing, photography books etc are not exactly cheap.
Oh yes. I’m still using films. I use both film and digital. I can never understand why there are always flame-wars in photography forums about digital and film photography. Each system has its advantages and limitations. Even more ridiculous are die-hard fans of brand names. I'm a Canon-user but I don't criticise Nikon etc. Ultimately it's the person behind the camera that creates the photo. Cameras are tools.

In my case, I always carry a compact digital P&S camera when I'm out with family and friends. For more serious works such as wedding shoots, I’ll use either my DSLR or film SLR, depending on the clients. And for personal works nothing beats film. Well, at least not yet. I haven’t bought any color negative films for the last few years. The digital P&S is enough to satisfy the occasional snap-shots. The only films I buy now are b&w, IR or and slide films.
I’m in my office typing this. And now I feel like leaving to shoot something (sounds dangerous). I've been so busy with work lately that I've not touched my cameras for the last few months. I bought a 2nd hand Hassy XPan and a 2nd hand Mamiya 645 few months back but I haven't been using them.
*sigh* I'm feeling kind of restless lately. Perhaps it's time to pick up my camera again.
