August was fruitful month to me, I had my modules, Apply Graphic Design by Simon & Fundamental of Digital Photographying by Mathias. And also attended SYOG countdown and Mathias' Photo Exhibition. Mathias, who is my lecturer and also a journalist, he had went Iraq during the time it was having war between USA. He had been just a few steps away from Death, as he was caught in the middle of fire fight.... etc. And his photos really tell a lot....
And he always says,

"Everyone can take photos, BUT not everyone can get GOOD photos! And you will know it by yourself when it is a GOOD photo."

And I found this is really true... I am interested in photographying since the start, but I gained deeper interests in Photography during his module. I'm planning to get a DSLR for myself, and Mathias told me that his friend is selling a good condition Canon EOS 350D with the kit lens and stuffs at $600. I was planned to get it... but my family objected about the idea, as they thought it was too expensive.

Btw, the SYOG countdown was really FUN. I went there with my fellow DSC subcomm friends, Aaron, Cassie, Joelene, Joy, Kite... etc. We had a lot of FUN!!

And I also had my final submission for the Mathias' modules, The theme is Lines(with Human touch) and below are my final submission photos:
