Colours of KL

Was in the Kuala Lumpur City the other day doing some street photography. Having been lived here for 30 years, these is my first time shooting in the street of KL (funny huhh.....). It's kinda new to me as i seldom (in fact, very seldom) shoots street photography. There are so many things to shoots be it likes people, architectures, colours, stalls, grafittis and lots more! As i walked along the Jalan Petaling, i decided to focus on something interesting, which is "colours/contrasts". So, here are some of my shoots.....

Me & Steven Lee

Attended a workshop organized by Steven Lee a week ago. Steven Lee is a Malaysian photographer based in the UK. He began his photographic career as a documentary and travel photographer in the late 90's when began writing travel related articles for magazines and journals. In 2000, he published his first coffee-table book titled "Outside Looking In : Kuala Lumpur", which received the Asian Prize in PhotoCity Sagamihara Festival of the Image, Japan in 2007. In 2007 he published his second coffee-table book "MALAYSIANS".

"MALAYSIANS" is a highly recommended book for everyone. How often do you come accross a book full of malaysian potraits? Capturing portraits is never easy especially portait of strangers. Steven Lee managed to captured potraits of all races from every states of Malaysia. Thumb up Steven!

During the workshop, i got a chance to play with a small little camera - "Rolleiflex" belongs to Steven Lee. Love this camera....... still working well too...

Baby Portrait - Zachary Loh

Capturing the cuteness of a little baby is so much fun! Terence and Elizabeth newly borned baby boy - Zachary Loh. I had a great time capturing little Zachary recently at the invitation by Terence and Elizabeth. I was having an easy moment capturing little Zachary as he was on his usual daily breaks, afternoon nap. By the end of the day, I did not had the chance to play around with little Zachary as he was enjoying his afternoon nap a little bit longer than any other days. To Terence, Elizabeth and little Zachary, HAPPY FAMILY!

My first post!

hi all,

figuring what to post as the first photo on my very first blog is really a big headache to me. should i post my family photos, or my portrait, or my favorite landscape, or maybe some macro shoots, or my works sample such as wedding shoots & product shoots or ........ maybe these and that.... it's never ends in my mind!

to those who know me and for those who not, photography has always been my life passion. capturing all the memorable images of my families, my loves and my friends are the reasons why i took up photography 12 years ago, to be exact.

and after a long thought, finally decided to share with you some of my favorite travel photos. just some simple shoots taken sometimes ago.

hope you like it.....
