NIKON-ku,CANON...& Ken Rockwell

gw masi inget,kamera SLR pertama yg sentuh waktu kecil is CANON FTb and CANON AE-1,kamera bokap gw waktu doi jadi wartawan di koran SINAR PAGI...pake kamera itu gw suka belagak2 motret,padahal tuh kamera dah rusak,mungkin itu dia yg 'micu gw jadi seneng photography and jadi photographer sekarang ini...sekitar thn 93,gw punya kamera SLR pertama gw,VIVITAR + lensa zoom-nya(gw lupa type kamera & lensa nya apa...),gw cuma sebentar banget pake kamera ini,karena kemudian gw jual trus gw beli lg NIKON FM2N sama lensa 50 mm f/1,4 AI-s,gara2 di saranin sama temen2 gw,si Acheng & Denny,dari situ gw mulai kenal NIKON,apalagi waktu gw mulai nongkrong di ADORAMA Kemang,dimana ampir semua anak2 situ pake NIKON,mulai dari situ deh pengenalan gw sama NIKON dengan segala kehebatan nya...

di luar kemampuan se-orang photographer,NIKON emang system kamera SLR 135mm yg canggih banget,ada banyak kamera laen yg sekelas seperti CANON,MINOLTA,CONTAX dll,tapi waktu itu memang NIKON sedang pada masa jaya-nya,menurut gw siih,cuma LEICA yg 'ngelewatin' NIKON,OPTIC and kamera seri M-nya LEICA yg 'ngalahin' NIKON,tapi gw rasa,kalo untuk kerja,org pasti pilih NIKON dari pada range finder-nya LEICA...

sampailah kemudian di era Digital SLR...NIKON-lah yg pertama kali ngeluarin D-SLR dengan F5 Digital nya,kemudian muncul NIKON D1...terobosan yg gokil,yg kemudian ngerubah dunia photography seperti sekarang ini...tapi gak lama setelah itu,NIKON dikalahin sama 'si bangsat' CANON,seteru lama-nya,nah gw,yg gak tau kenapa jadi benci banget sama CANON,masih denying,nyangkal,kalo dalam hal D-SLR,CANON memang lebih baik dari pada NIKON,sampai beberapa hari yg lalu gw baca tulisan/review 'si brengsek' Ken Rockwell...

seperti banyak jg NIKONIANS yg gak suka sama tulisan2 si Ken Rockwell di website nya,gw juga banyak gak setuju sama tulisan2 mr.Rockwell,tapi toh tetep aja gw suka baca untuk membuat perbandingan sama review2 tulisan org lain yg akhir nya gw bisa ambil kesimpulan2 sendiri karna memang semua review2 itu kan sifat nya subjective...tapi...ada tulisan mr.Rockwell yg dia post di website nya tgl 30 NOV '07 dgn judul : 'NIKON D300 High ISO comparisons'...review ini lah yg nyadarin gw dari penyangkalan gw selama ini,bahwa memang CANON lebih unggul dari NIKON dlm hal Digital-SLR,di review ini mr.Rockwell ngasih liat perbandingan sample pictures antara NIKON D40X,NIKON D200,NIKON D300 versus CANON 5D dengan segala penjelasan beliau...

dari review ini gw sadar,emang NIKON kalah sama CANON,sampe detik ini pun gw masih berharap,kekalahan NIKON ini hanya untuk sementara,mudah2an nanti ada seri D-SLR NIKON baru yg bisa ngelewatin D-SLRnya CANON,mungkin di D3X nya nanti,mungkin yg berikutnya,tau deh sampe kapan...

NIKON udah jadi bagian dlm hidup gw,seperti jg film STARWARS dan pernak-perniknya,seperti jg musik keras kayak HARDCORE music and METAL,seperti hal2 laen yg gw suka dlm hidup gw...i really hate Ken Rockwell for telling me the truth,jg bikin gw malah tambah benci ama CANON...well...sekalipun CANON memang lebih unggul dari NIKON,gw gak akan pernah ninggalin NIKON gw,malah gw berencana untuk beli kamera baru NIKON,...dengan segala kekurangan nya,gw masih bisa bilang 'HAIL NIKON !!!'...and 'FUCK YOU,CANON !!!'......well guys...i'm going down with NIKON...

                            

The Wolves

A terrible fight is going on inside me

a fight between two wolves...

One is evil,and represents hate,anger,arrogance,intolerance and superiority.

The other is good,and represents joy,peace,love,tolerance,understanding,humility,kindness,empathy,generosity and compassion.

This same fight is going on inside you,inside every other person...

wich wolf will win ?...

The one you choose to feed.

red red wine -by:UB40

Red, red wine goes to my head,
Makes me forget that I still need her so

Red, red wine, it's up to you
All I can do I've done
Memories won't go, memories won't go

i've sworn,that with time
Thoughts of you would leave my head
I was wrong, now I find
Just one thing makes me forget

Red, red wine, stay close to me
Don't let me be alone
It's tearing apart my blue heart

in a little while -by:U2

In a little while surely you'll be mine

In a little while... I'll be there

In a little while this hurt will hurt no more I'll be home, love

when the night takes a deep breath and the daylight has no air

If I crawl, if I come crawling home wiIl you be there?

In a little while I won't be blown by every breeze

friday night running to sunday on my knees

that girl, that girl she's mine

well I've know her since, since she was a little girl with spanish eyes

when I saw her first in a pram they pushed her by

oh my, my how you've grown well it's been, it's been...a little while

slow down my beating heart

a man dreams one day to fly a man takes a rocket ship into the skies

he lives on a star that's dying in the night

and follows in the trail, the scatter of light turn it on, turn it on, you turn me on

slow down my beating heart

slowly, slowly love slow down my beating heart slowly, slowly love

slow down my beating heart slowly, slowly love

PIRANHA (pygocentrus nattereri-serrasalmus)

THE PIRANHAS or PIRANAS are a group of omnivorous freshwater fish living in South Americans river.In Venezuelan rivers they are called CARIBES,they are known for their sharp teeth and an aggressive appetite for meat and flesh.The name PIRANHA may come from a hybrid language composed of Tupi-Guarani languages;it may be a compound word made of the components 'pira',meaning 'fish',and 'sanha' or 'ranha' meaning 'tooth'.In Tupi,inalienably possessed nouns take the prefix 't-','s-' or 'r-' depending on the possessor,or zero in combination;thus 'pira'+'anha'.Alternatively,it may come from Tupi 'pira'(fish) and 'anha'(devil). -Wikipedia-

master of puppets -by:METALLICA

end of passion play,crumbling away,

i'm your source of self-destruction...

veins that pump with fear,sucking darkest clear

feeding on your death's construction...

taste me and you will see,more is all you need,

dedicated to,how i'm killing you...

come crawling faster,obey your master,

your life burns faster,obey your master,master...

master of puppets i'm pulling your strings,

twisting your mind and smashing your dreams,

blinded by me,you can't see a thing,

just call my name 'cause i'll hear you scream,master,master,

just call my name 'cause i'll hear you scream,master,master...

needlework the way,never you betray,

life of death becoming clearer...

pain monopoly,ritual misery,

chop your breakfast on a mirror...

taste me you will see,more is all you need,

dedicated to,how i'm killing you...

come crawling faster,obey your master,

your life burns faster,obey your master,master...

master of puppets i'm pulling your strings,

twisting your mind and smashing your dreams,

blinded by me you can't see a thing,

just call my name 'cause i'll hear you scream,master,master,

just call my name 'cause i'll hear you scream,master,master...

master,master,where's the dreams that i've been after?

master,master,promised only lies...

laughter,laughter,all i hear or see is laughter,

laughter,laughter,laughing at my cries...

hell is worth all that,natural habitat,

just a rhyme without a reason...

neverending maze,drift on numbered days,

now your life is out of season...

i will occupy,i will help you die,

i will run to you,now i rule you too...

come crawling faster,obey your master,

your life burns faster,obey your master,master...

master of puppets i'm pulling your strings,

twisting your mind and smashing your dreams,

blinded by me you can't see a thing,

just call my name 'cause i'll hear you scream,master,master,

just call my name 'cause i'll hear you scream,master,master...

ha ha ha ha ha...
