Shutter Therapy: Making Time

Work schedule is NOT looking good for the coming month. I dare not even think of what stretches beyond that. I had to cancel a family pre-arranged gathering (last Friday). Everyone was practically waiting for my return since I had skipped Chinese New Year and I have promised to come home to Kuching in March for the Chinese Ching Ming event. I don't think mum was particularly happy when I told her my annual leave was frozen and I was

Repost: Holi Festival

Today the Sri Lakshmi Narayan Temple had their annual Holi Festival celebration happening, or more popularly known as the Festival of Colors. Unfortunately I was weighed down by work commitments and could not shoot the beautiful festival this year. I then decided to dig out my old photographs from years ago, and repost it here.

Not Good Enough

I recently went through this strange phase of a photographer's journey, when nothing I shoot is good enough, and me being the judge of my own photographs.

I may not be a coffee-fanatic, but I have drank enough coffee in Australia (years ago) to tell which is

Shutter Therapy Resumes

There is nothing more that I want for my weekend than a walk on the streets, doing my usual shutter therapy. I had a good one last weekend, joined in by a few good friends.  I have decided to take less close up portrait shots and focus more on what I can shoot instead. I have flooded my blog posts with headshots and super near portraits. Somehow, this session I wanted to fall back a few steps and catch the

More Ariff AB

I was at KLCC yesterday, hoping to find Kirk Tuck's book "The Lisbon Portfolio" at Kinokuniya Bookstore (though in the online listing it was out of stock, I was hoping it was wrong, but it was indeed out of stock) that I randomly checked my Facebook timeline, and I saw that Ariff AB was going to perform at a festival happening at Dataran Underground. Time of the performance was scheduled at 4.15pm and what a bummer what I saw my
