I came across a blogpost with the title, "What do you do for the sake of blogging?" It is very amusing to read the many responses of bloggers from all walks of life, being gung-ho to snap photos for their blog. Nowadays, everyone have a digital camera by their side and whenever there is a good story idea, the camera is out. It can be a food review, a humorous signboard, an event or a beautiful scenery. Photos do make the blog more interesting. The urge to want to post photos on the blog also improves the photo taking experience to churn out more quality photos that can be reviewed by our children and loved ones. Ultimately, a good blog, full of photos of your family experiences with your children is a nice present to pass to your children. It can also be a treasured memory held by daddy as he looks back at his life as a daddy, the many places he has been with his family, the ups and downs, his thoughts and his efforts. I did not have many photos of my childhood, but I am now attempting to do more for my children. Glad that there are readers to my blog who are encouraging me along the way.
As you may notice, I have taken many photos of Haruka and us as a family during our weekend trips. I have videos too, but have not posted them. What you may not know is the time spent to call out to Haruka to get her attention. She is now a little more understanding as she have seen the photos on the camera and video and know the tiresome efforts of daddy 
to produce something good for her entertainment. So, after 1 minute calling her name, sometimes Haruka does entertain me by looking straight at the camera. Also, daddy is always eyeing for a good shot. I would place Haruka on different edges or corners to capture the best scenes knowing she is now sitting straight up and would hold still. Haruka is a very sensible girl who understands danger more than daddy. Of course, mummy would scream at such s
ights. Then, there is the longer time spent in a particular location for too many photo taking that mummy begins to get hungry and impatient. So, daddy will need to have the skill to quickly snap photos and still be able to complete as many trips to different locations, while ensuring mummy and baby has enough rest and food. But, the proof of the pudding is in a blog where one can review photos and understand the joys and efforts of daddy. Its hard to express these in words all in 1 day. Yet, you can possibly scroll down the whole blog of years of blogging in 1 day.
Do share with me what you have done for the sake of blogging. Oh yes, I did not mention the time when I snapped photos in a British museum in between guard patrols. Photos of that out soon.
(Photos show the Chi Lin Nunnery next to the Nan Lian Garden. The temples are constructed by binding wood frames together without nails based on Tang Dynasty design. Photo of food is from a Taiwanese restaurant along Jordan road showing an oyster noodle and dessert of ice with yam and sweet potato balls).
