I just wanted to share with you a Flickr Mail letter that I got from AtlanticStar that wrote something about my son pictures. When someone inspired from my picture, I got inspired too, words really touch my heart, I’m not sharing this letter to brag about my self but more importantly is to inspire people to photograph something or someone that is close to their heart and in this case our family. I want to spread love, I want to spread happiness with my picture. I want to spread my passion and when someone become inspire by my pictures, it really keeps me going, I don’t need hundreds of comments in my blog or in my flickr but with one letter like this, it’s really keeps me going.

Here’s is the full letter, unedit that she wrote to me, she is a mother and I’m a father. I did ask her permission to share it here in my Blog…

Lam Kenal, Pak 🙂

Assalamualaikum.Wr.Wb

Pak Wazari,

Salam Kenal Pak, sudah beberapa kali saya suka mengunjungi flickr bapak trutama untuk belajar menginspirasi diri dari foto2 putera bapak – Haiqal.

Saya suka dengan kesederhanaan yang bapak tampilkan pada tiap foto, benar sederhana tapi sungguhlah kuat impact yang diberikan pada tiap audiencenya.

Saya sendiri ibu dengan satu anak , putera saya berumur 3.5 tahun dan sedang berusaha untuk merekam semua moment putera saya. Saya banyak belajar dari foto2 bapak…, bukan belajar tekniknya pak..kalau yang itu masih suka terseok2. Tapi nilai filosofi ditiap cerita toto bapak.

at the end of the day..you are so right…I am taking picture of my son not to please anybody but myself as his mother and the interaction that built between us during our photo shoot.

Jika waktu ia dewasa kelak…mungkin bukan cerita foto itu yang akan kita bicarakan tapi mencoba mengingat “bagaimana” foto tersebut direkam..

Once again..thanks for sharing your beautiful pictures.

btw..your reminder about printing the pictures, really hit me…indeed after having my dslr, I never print my fav picture anymore. So another thanks for this as well 🙂

Wass.Wr.Wb

Below is her reply when I ask her whether I can share her letter in my Blog…

Pak Wazari ini terlalu merendah…foto2 bapaklah inspire me more 🙂

I took my time to write you a msg because of your picture and to give my high appreciation toward it therefore a long msg were in order coz one or two sentences won’t be enough to say how your picture speaks to me (even my son starting to like seeing haiqal picture,

well..he doesn’t have an asian even a malay friend here (yet) and therefore he curious about Haiqal)

Waduh pak…itu message saya mau di posting di blog bapak..he..he..malu saya,…bahasa saya campur aduk seperti itu. (Btw…sorry for the mix indonesian and english language here ).

Terlepas hal diatas, adalah sebuah sanjungan bila bapak hendak menaruh pesan kecil saya tersebut di blog bapak. Tentu boleh bila kata2 kecil tersebut bisa memberikan inspirasi kepada para orang tua serta calon ayah dan ibunda dimasa mendatang.

Thanks Pak Wazari for your kind reply of my message.

    My pray always with you and your family. May Allah SWT will always send the best blessing for everything in your life and mostly for your whole family.
