on 1st July 2007 at 16:59 i was on 73 George Street inside Ken Duncan Gallery at the Rocks, Sydney, New South Wales i bought 2 postcards of Southern Dreaming, Twelve Apostles, Victoria and Hardy Reef, Great Barrier Reef, Queensland at AUS$3 inclusive of GST believing that they will remind me of the lovely country.
i bought them because i have never been to those places, they are to lure me into visiting the actual places in future.

Quoting from Cartier-Bresson:
'For me the camera is a sketch book, an instrument of intuition and spontaneity, the master of the instant which, in visual terms, questions and decides simultaneously. In order to "give a meaning" to the world, one has to feel involved in what one frames through the viewfinder. This attitude requires concentration, discipline of mind, sensitivity, and a sense of geometry. It is by economy of means that one arrives at simplicity of expression. To take a photograph is to hold one's breath when all faculties converge in a face of fleeing reality. It is at that moment that mastering an image becomes a great physical and intellectual joy.'

What is 'Natalie in June'?
'Natalie in June' is a site dedicated as my photo journal, putting together selections of images. My interest in capturing images began in high school when I did video recording and until I bought my first Canon A70 when I entered university, I made use of my father's Nikon film camera at times. I am now using Canon 350D to capture my images. The subject matters span through the artificial cityscape and the natural landscape. I also enjoy documenting how city changes or impacts lives.
Why did I name it 'June'? My birthday is in June and it is always significant. It also reminds me how time passes by and that I have grown to understand, observe and experience things around me. As my photos narrates what I perceive, 'June' will mean giving life to thoughts.
