Untitled snap with Pentax DA21 / 3.2 AL
A street snap with my beloved DA21, my "standard" lens for street snap. I love it's small size, but the slow focusing speed of the Pentax system is a bit annoying when doing street snap - it's just not fast enough in some situation.
Sometimes I have to rely on the decade old zone focusing technique, not ideal for digital images because you can easily notice the out-focus with these old-day technique when blow-up on your screen.

Molome: a phone photo social network for non iPhone users
I don't want to spend my money on the every-one-have-it iPhone, but I really envy the photo-sharing social network such as Instagram. It can edit the photos on your phone, and upload to the social medias directly. Great for sharing quick snaps with your mobile.
I just found the Molo.me from the OVI market, i think it's a good replacement for non IPhone users. There are a few special effect to choose from, and I really like the square aspect ratio of the photos in Molome. Android and Symbian versions are available. Come visit my Molome page HERE.
Below is a snap with my phone I uploaded.
A broken Nikon Coolpix P50
It was an accident: I tried to snap with the P50 in a dangerous position. When I tried to pull back, I didn't notice the ditch behind me, so I fell. I am okay, but I bump the lens of the P50, so it can't retract into the body again.... sad.
I believe there was a misalignment in the gears of the lens driving system, so I tried to take it apart and see if I can fix it at all. As you can see, the result was a disaster: after I remove the back and a circuit board, I couldn't remove the remaining circuits.... that means I can't even get my way to the lens driving gears....
I never have good experiences in fixing my cameras. I hope I am a better photographer than a camera technician.
The pix was taken with my Nokia phone. Sorry for the bad quality.

Wheat field at Loire Valley, France
Took by my wife with a P&S, while I was driving. Too bad I don't have the time to stay over for a decent shot.

St. Michel, France #2
Another view of St. Michel.
This pic was taken during dusk, and the preset I downloaded from the Internet added very nice color to the pic and enhance the dusk feeling.
Mont. St Michel, France
The preset function on Lightroom let you preview the effect of the modification, in a flash. It's very convenient when you have a lot of photos to edit with. WIth the thousands of photos bring back from my France trip, I wouldn't border to process this pic with any special effect if not for the preset function. I LOVE IT.
Taken at 11am, while the sun is shining at a very unpleasant angle. I choose the b/w preset so to avoid the hash color of the mid-day sunlight.

Graffiti of "King of Kowloon"
The writings of "King of Kowloon" was once everywhere in the Hong Kong city. The administration thought it's ugly, and whip it as soon as possible. Now "King of Kowloon" was dead, and almost every single graffiti of him was gone from the street. We only have photographs for remembrance, or maybe you can find some if it in museum.
That's sad.
