Kathmandu – Go for Photos

Kuil Emas umat Budha. (AGUSTINUS WIBOWO)

Thamel Guesthouse 100 NRs

Cameras are back. But they failed to repair my Nikon 8800 camera (they are canon anyway). But the steep labour cost of 2000 NRs (28 US$) no matter whether they can or cannot repair it, makes me quite painful. Anyway, after much of enlightment, from photographers and non-photographers, I decided to keep using my Nikon camera. It does indeed make me practicing to take photos by thinking. Using digital cameras is easy, you can just take photos as many as you can, and somehow neglecting the long thinking process of your brain which was essential when you used the analog camera. Now I have to use a digital camera but think in analog way. Not bad practice, anyway, but I will surely miss many moments that actually I could capture.

Just found an internet cafe with Photoshop, so I will upload my Tibetan photos soon after little bit of editing and resizing. Your comments and suggestions are welcomed.
