look at the lens..

i just got an email that reminded me of an interesting incident that took place on a nice sunday evening over dinner..
it was at this new fancy "mamak" place nearby, and me future doc fren as his ever realible camera was there to take pictures of us eating. so who do u pick when all the people eating naan n chicken wings ate tradisionally with their fingers?? well, the waiter of course.
with a smiling face, da nice chap picked the camera, faced the lens to himself and tried to the picture, after moments of focusing n tryint to look through the lens, but with no avail to find the object of which he needs to shoot... he tries to snap the pic anyways! unfortunately he doesnt know which button to press, and returns the camera or we would have a close shot of the "technological poor" waiter.
needless to say, this incident enforces the reality of the world we live in, the inequalities and injustice the world stil has to deal with. next time i better remind myself to teach the guy how to work the camera.

*oh, we did get a pic afterall, from a gal sittin rite next to our table.. it turned out nice*
