Still Alive

Dear Readers,

First and foremost, I am still alive and will keep on posting. Keeping this blog was just a little hobby that really turned into wonderful passion as it blended my other passion - Photography. All your wonderful emails and correspondences have been very encouraging. And my promise to you is to resume my lessons.

In the recent months, my life have been a whirlwind of wonderful events - both personally and professionally. (You're currently reading a blog from the new Senior Photographer for Fila.) However, that took a lot of time away from keeping up with blogging. As one toiling away, from the inside it's hard to see what others are seeing from the outside. For me, it was really frustrating to keep a scheduled updates and lesson plan. I really thought about giving up, until I started receiving "thank you" emails from readers. I even ran into a complete stranger at a camera store and he recognized my face from my blog. It was truly wonderful that I got meet my readers, and encouraging emails really help!

So, it's back to the drawing board. Along with my lessons, I will start posting more of these random posts about my thoughts. Keeping the page fresh even if there are no new lessons. Like resources or videos that I find particularly useful.

And lastly, I will start hosting photography meetups group at meetup.com. It will start in NYC. I feel everyone benefits more from shooting and learning in person. Oh yeah, and it's free.

Until then, please stay safe. And happy shooting.

Yours,

Charlie Wang
Photographer
