When I was about 12 years old, my dad started to teach me some
basics in photography. Back then, all the cameras were using film. And
everyone in the family has a camera, mostly point-n-shoot. However,
dad's camera is something different from ours, his camera is heavier
and bigger, with funny looking barrel (lens) - a SLR. And this is where
I started to have interest in photography.
I remember once we went to the a park near Tawau old airport, dad had his camera setup on a tripod to take our family portrait in black and white. It was pretty amazing to see there's an auto timer to do so.
