I don't remember the first picture I took, but I actually found a picture of myself on a trip back to my old family home in Malaysia. I'm five years old, sitting on the floor with the family camera in my hand. It was a film camera - not a DSLR - with a fixed lens and a nice manual zoom.

Ren Ng

Anything is better than sitting around waiting for the right movie to come along. I lose my edge when I'm sitting around the pool not working.
