Reviving Memories
by shz
Do you miss it? I do too!
Recently since writing Photography Lately I have a sudden phobia or fear that Fotopages might suddenly close for good and I’ll lose all of my memories in it. I also have to acknowledge that ever since I decided to “close” it, there have been countless of enquiries, requests, emails, messages and mentions about opening it back. But if you have a Fotopages account, you’ll know that what I did was unpublishing every single entry. And being a user for years, can you imagine how many clicks I have to do to re-open it again? Yes, lazy is one of my many famous qualities among my friends.
It’s not that I’m unconsidering what other people are feeling, the impact it had and the images that stuck in their minds until now. It’s just that I refused to acknowledge what I was to them, because I’d thought it will be a bit, for the lack of English words, poyo to acknowledge and ultimately do something about it. Or maybe because I left photography a long time ago or my life now is totally different than what it was, I wanted to leave it as it is and keep it as personal memories. But then again, my life wasn’t exactly totally private was it? And because I’ve decided to share it with the world before, why wouldn’t I want to share the memories now? Maybe it’s not so poyo to re-share after all?
And again, it has been years. And it would be fun to see them again, no?
Since I’m very erratic with what I write here, I’m thinking of re-posting an entry from Fotopages a week in this blog. Just to fill the gap while I write/compose the next proper entry. But I’m also unsure whether it’s a good or terrible idea because if I have haters, they are probably nice people because they don’t write to me about hating me. I really want to do it, but I don’t want to be or feel, again, for the lack of English words, syok sendiri or so full of myself! Therefore, I will appreciate very much your opinion and also because secretly, I’ve been wanting to do poll for ages. Had blog for years but never once made a poll! I know that there are over 350 people visiting this blog every day, each of you don’t exactly make your mark at every entry by commenting. So in honour of my first poll ever, do let me know if I’m being considerate to my supporters (yes, still refuse to use the word “fan”) or I’m being so poyo, syok sendiri or full of myself!
Thank you!
ADDED NOTES:
Thanks to those who voted. I’ll start looking through my FP and start posting the first one soon!
wahh… lepas ni kamu akan bergiat aktif semula? tak sabar !!!! v-(ツ)-v
Bukan bergiat aktif. Aktif re-post entry lama di sini. 😉
ouh re-post..okok… “breakfast at Tiffany”… nak tengok lagi ! yeay!!!
Babe, i can still remember how my gooogle search on “fakhrul” lead to your FP. the 1st picture i seen was your hand, or entry titled “nearing submission” or something.
i wont say much, or i may sound like a stalker or something 😛
I’m curious why you google searched “Fakhrul” in the first place. Hahaha
hahahaha!!! Cari boifren lama :p
your impact with fotopages is verrryy deep..so bukak2 la balik..ehehehe
Baca betul-betul.. bukan bukak balik tau. Re-post old entry. hehe
haa..k k..silap ckp..repost..kira ada la tu..ble tgk2 balik 😉 ehehe..bring back the old good memories..paling awal2, yg u n fakhrul dok atas pokok tu..time snow.. cecomey 🙂 n ur photos in NY
Yeaaaaaa………
voted and yes! i can’t wait to relief the memories of your fp photos.
Kenal ur fp since 2003 n still “follow” u till now…wow, mcm x percaya i boleh terus-menerus ikuti perkembangan seseorang yg i kenal di alam maya hampir 10 thn…yeah, it’s you!
Dari i solo, hingga berkahwin & skarang dah ada anak 2 pun, still bukak ur blog at least once a week…to be honest, you are truly my inspiration *wink*wink*…
suke tengok your life kat UK…and of course all of your photography works…masa u decide nak close ur fp dulu, mmg agak menyedihkan sbb i tiap-tiap hari bukak fp u…mujurlah ada blog ni….
Shz, your pictures really has soul in it…keep it up!
Shz, I suggest you upload di FB page.. coz kalau upload di page Shaliza Mokhtar tu, your supporters boleh LIKE and SHARE 😉
(Tak sabar nak tengok balik gambar-gambar “Breakfast At Tiffany’s”).
well i visited my old posts in FP occasionally too…but life goes on…alhamdulillah met good friends in fotopages, nothin but the good old days.
kak, sila re-post the old pics and keep on posting the new pics. jgn stop! u have the craft, i dont understand why u shud and wanted to stop at the first place.to the hell la ape org nak cakap poyo ke, full of yourself ke. Aft all,this is your blog anyway. You can do whatever you want. just remember one thing, ape2 yang kite buat kat dunia ni tak kire la baik or jahat, there will always someone yg akan x puas hati. so be it! org mcm tu psiko and kiasu x bertempat, i called them. alangkan blog yang penuh kontroversi penuh cacian and umpatan mcm Azwan Ali and kelakar gile mcm Kak Sendok tu pun bole hit the chart kalah blog datin seri rosma, ini kan plak blog u yg modest ni . so, my advice is dont ever care too much about whatever ppl’s perception. in fact, dont bother at all. selagi ape yang buat ni tak bercanggah dgn akidah, anggap je la photoblogging ni sbg satu ibadah whereby doing that,u share ur knowledge, experiences with the rest of the world. peace yo ~!
told ya!
oh i think i saw glimpses of the photo that has that dejavu effect on me on the pic above
Wow, u get dejavu just looking at my Fotopages print screen? Hahaha
