14 and going strong...
|
|
this is my trusty fm2. it's 14-years old, bought when i was still studying in uni. actually this is my second fm2 as my first one was stolen. this camera has sentimental value because it nurtured my initial interest and skills in photography. it also paved my way into journalism and built the foundation of my career. it was sidelined for nearly 8 years, then i decided to give it a new breath of life by sending to nikon last year, for full servicing and repairs that cost me rm600. when i showed it to jason of j-one, he said "zuhri, this camera is very strong. even your grandchildren will be able to use it". although serviced and checked last year, it only kicked into action last week when i paired it with a nikkor 50mm f1.4 AIS . a roll of 36 exposures and i wasn't happy with the pictures as clearly i'm spoiled by the digital technology that my old skills of capturing images with film is very rusty. lots of works need to be done.....hhmmph.

i was inspired by suhaimi a.k.a joni to shoot this bridge. what a shame when i heard he has given up photography....certainly a waste of good talent.

transition...
|
|
2 weekends ago, i visited my aging grandpa. i'm sad because at his old age and ailing health, he's still facing lots of family problems when he should spend his last years in peace. i just helped him whatever i could. and just several days ago, i lost a grand auntie who used to be one of the key figures in the circle of relatives. these two events had made me think that slowly people who i used to look up and consider as the key figures are slowly handing over their roles to the next generation.
i attended the tahlil for my grand auntie (my attendance was important since my parents are now in overseas), and met many cousins, uncles and aunties who are vague in my mind, and had a tough time to recall them, who i used to play with when i was just a kid back in the kampung or during those few visits to their houses. it crossed my mind that if it wasn't because of her passing away, i'd most probably meet them during the next hari raya visits, if i'm lucky. i guess it's true that death rejuvenates the living.
but more importantly, after the tahlil, we had good conversations among each other and it made me realise that i'm in a process of transition where the elders are passing the batons to the next generation to continue hold and bond the blood between the relatives. i never thought of that even a year ago but now the realisation is sinking. and since i'm the only one in malaysia, i guess my parents' baton is now in my hands to ensure that the family name and interest will continue to live within the circle. this is indeed an additional responsibility and that things of relatives which i used to take for granted, must now be viewed seriously as i represent my family in this process of transition.
hhmm....i guess the time has come and i must be prepared for this role and take up the task. i'm no longer a kid that could not be bothered with all this, but in a few years will have to take the seat in the circle of key figures to represent my family. wish my sisters are here...
for my grand auntie....al-fatihah
