Changing ship - trying something new. Back to basic

Last few month, after years and years owning a Canon. I make a decisions of changing ship. I jump to a yellow flag ship. Yup, it's a Nikon. Where I live, people are quite biased among Canon and Nikon. Its like a huge competition for them which is better and which is greater. For me, being like that is not necessary. Camera is just a tool to work the idea, the magic is whats inside your self. Not the gadget. Why would you so being dependable with the item instead of using your inner creativity and your ideas. Chase Jarvis made a great shot out of a Lego build camera. So why make it a competition? Yes I agree, you need the right too to make a good art. But, there's still no law saying that you cant make a great painting out of a broken brush. What if that broken brush is some media for you to create a great work of art? A new style and strokes out from a broken brush. Who knows you might make it a huge revolution out of it? Tools is just a tools. Its the inner your self that what brings the magic in it. Not the tools controlling you on what to do and how to make it happen.

Since I'm continuing my studies for a master level in art and design. I realized that to be the best is not just be with one method. You need to experiment things around you, fully use what you have, try something new and change the way you are. For me, changing from a Canon to Nikon is not a big deal. Yes I'm a pro-Canon. Everything about me is Canon. But to be a master you need to master other things and things that are out of your comfort zone. So changing ship is like I'm out from my comfort zone and I'm trying something new instead. Trying to master something new for me, and I choose Nikon (after trying Sony and Olympus). Nothing wrong with Canon. Its a great product. A magnificent cameras and lens. I'm just try to find another me with a different point of view.

 

It has been said : " to be a master, first you need to find your self with the tools you use. Try to find your inner self and soul with the tools. Master the tools first before you master a skill. "

Go back through time

It is being so long since the last time I posted an entry in this blog. No internet connection at home, massive work load and I'm started my postgraduate studies recently. So theres limited time for me to do other things beside job and assignments. Been trying to squeeze my time to get extra space for things I love to do. So, posting a new entry for this blog is something that I really missed and I need to get back on track.

Lately I've been rolling my self looking for some oldskol cars for my personal project. This has been running in my mind for so long and I've been looking for a car that suitable with me and something that is really classic but yet not so far away. I spend time surveying and visiting few places searching for any reck, abandon or anyone wanted to sell it away. I've been though from a BMW e30, Celica ta22 to ta 23, a Levin, Starlet, Datsun and so on as the list goes on. As I was almost end up with a BMW e30, I attracted to this little abandon old car. This car aged same as me ( I'm 27 fyi ) and it suits me as I don't really like big cars and four doors.  Its a Honda... yup, a 2nd generation of Honda Civic. A hatchback.

I'm not really a Honda fan thou. But somehow after do some research about this fella and surveying it. I found my self loving it. I decided then to pick it up and take it on as a project. So far as I discovered it's definitely a project car to be...

From the look at it, theres not much left to do on the body work. Only a few part need to be repair and a major paint job needed. Im still thinking what color to splash on it

this need to be fix

I will update on the progress to share with. I think I'll start to work on the external first before going into deep. Do give me any suggestion and your opinion on this fella.

here is a picture of how its originally looked like.
