I was greatly influenced by my elder brother. He bought a second hand Huqiu (虎丘) camera when he was in university. It was back to 1989. I doubt whether this brand of camera still exists. It was the camera inspired my interest in photography. I took some pictures with this camera (including many sweet memories with Wendy). I selected Photography as my elective when I was a junior. That is the best course I enjoyed in my four years in the Shanghai Jiao Tong University.

New York Institute of Photography

I am reading the courseware of the NYIP course these days. Yes. Be serious, I want to learn the photography and develop better sense of photo. I even thinking about enroll some class of photography in the future. I didn't find any school offer photography so far.

Equipment

I attended a exhibition of photography equipment. I took the picture below using my simple Sony P8. It looks not bad.

It proof that if you have good lighting equipment and a frame for taking static objects (the white curve background that won't show the annoying horizontal conjunction line), the chance to take better pictures becomes larger.

The new release of Nikon D70 is a quasi-professional weapon. But you need to spend bucks on lens. BTW, it's my first visit, which was led by LinkedIn. Very very impressive! 2 thumbs-up! Save words for later comments. :-)

Tutu and pony, I saw your post, but I have given up to upgrade any photograph equipment any more. I want to concentrate to develop my eyes instead of my equipment. Thanks for sharing anyway - I WAS very interested before.

The book of "New York Institute of Photography Courseware" is a good starting point for professional photographer. I bought the book and really enjoy it.
