RE: Angpao 2018: From One Rooster to Another

in #angpao20187 years ago

Takes up a lot less space right? I’m trying to declutter and own less now. This year not so gung-ho already, and have to be picky. Also using up past years ones so that there’s no wastage. Come to think of it a lot of papers and resources wasted on angpao printing yearly.

By the way do you make prints / photobooks of your favourite photos? Somehow i feel if we selectively pick some and put them into print chances of going through them again higher, otherwise it’ll be hidden in our digital storage for goodness knows how long.

Yeah... that is why I love the idea of WeChat Ang Pow... fast, efficient and more environmental friendly..

I do not print any of my photos, but they ready to be printed at any time. I don't print for a few reasons:

  1. Takes up space
  2. Collect dust
  3. Good printing with frame costs a lot of money.. easily RM300 or more..
  4. Color fades

Unlike most people, I only keep very few photos, so it is always a breeze for me and my family/friends to go over the photos... Since 2005, I have only 12 thousand photos (including work and photos for my customers). Hence, it takes me only seconds to locate my photos and I know people do go over my photos based on my Facebook likes. I can tell you that most people especially parents accumulate 12 thousand photos only of one of their children within a few short years. Hence, it is tiresome to locate a particular photos (if you can even find it).

There are digital frame and wallpapers.... at the end of the day, digital photography is exactly like material objects... good to have few good ones than a lot of them..

Haha i still cannot accept the idea of wechat ang pow. I feel some traditions need to be uphold otherwise CNY will become just another public holiday. Maybe we can look into a less wastage way to do it - recycling angpao packets, printing less etc.

You must be really organised to be able to locate so much photos in so little time! What are you, a Virgo?
Each time I take a shot i try to make it count, just like back in those days when we have a maximum of only 36 shots per roll of film.

But first need to work on my skill 😂

Are you planning on doing a workshop for lousy photographers?

I am Gemini and I am extremely organised... hehehe
Less is more when it comes to photography
Yes, planning for photography class very soon:)

Looking forward to learning from you!

Haha.... get ready.. it will be simple and informative...

Great, straight to the point. I just hope the timing is right!
