A passing moment of clouds travelling past. This happened just for a few seconds before the light is all flat.

Shot of the day – 12 Jul 2009, with my new toy (all my buddies know what it is). Good photographs depend on great imagination NOT gear. (Though the E-P1 art filter really helps this time… haha…) The best camera is the one in your hands.  Let’s all focus on expressing our IMAGINATION!

Busy, busy, busy… … so sorry for the long gap in updating. My thoughts on this whole blogging trend lately can be found here.

[...]]]> It’s amazing how photography has developed since the introduction of digital cameras. Respect for photographers has dropped tremendously over the years since digital has started to make photography “easier and easier”.

With the latest advanced technology in today’s DSLRs, more and more “photographers” arise, snapping thousands but choosing just a handful to put up in their blogs. Furthermore, images are tweaked(or repaired) using easily-available software. We are depending on “Chance-Shots” more than ever before!

It is no longer easy to judge a photographer’s real strength anymore since we hardly read the “whole book” (thousands and millions of multiple-shots) but only read that “few sentences” on websites and blogs. Talking about not to judge a book by it’s cover? (For my full set of proofs to read my “whole book” – click here).

Yesterday we took painstaking effort even in family snapshots, cause it’ll cost you a dollar or more if you make a mistake on film. Today, we snap away like nobody’s business leaving tons of trash images in our computer unedited, unseen for years. It’s time to really re-consider photography.

Art or Junk? Vision or Chance? Switch to your camera’s “continuous-shots mode” and click away non-stop like nobody’s business OR think, imagine, previsualize and feel before you shoot?

Digital shooters, it’s time to slow down and ask yourself who you really wanna be.

Slow Down!

rushing, rushing...

I have been a photographer since the late 90s in Singapore and moved to Malaysia in 2003. My career has been established as a wedding photographer for most part of my life but have since moved on to teaching photography and photographing my other interests, namely family and personal portraits, social documentary, street photography and still life. I still shoot weddings but on the minimum. If you have an artistic idea or any artistic project, do give me a call or send me an email, I’ll gladly take it up if it fulfills my “criteria”.

I believe images should be able to speak for themselves without difficult titles or descriptions that are hard to understand. I love photographs that can speak for themselves without much “gimmicks”. I love to preserve the original moments.

My strength in teaching is in guiding individuals in discovering about themselves in photography and in developing their individual styles.
