thanks again for willing to be my model

Being a regular at thaipusam festival , i feel obliged to show my shot no matter how crappy they are. This year i did a little better than last year but it’s still pretty crappy ,i guess I’ll have to wait for 2011 to redeem myself again. This year’s crowd is much larger than last year’s . i woke up around 3 am reaching Batu Caves around 4 am and find myself stuck in the traffic for at least 30 minutes. It is very hard to walk around as there are too much people and it took us nearly 20 minutes or more to reach our destination from the exorbitant carpark.










For those of you who are not familiar with Thaipusam

see you again Thaipusam 2011




A year ago I bumped into this website www.tineye.com, it’s sort of a search engine for images and photos. The cool thing about it is that you can use it to locate your photos or images around the internet. This may be a good tool to check whether your photos was stolen or being bought. I found my photos on a lot of websites but i think a lot of them was stolen , however there are a few exception that made me proud. It’s always a WOW to see your photos being used by famous publications or some DVD covers

Here are some of the usage of my photos




This photo was used by Discovery for their Atlas India Blue Ray DVD Cover
This photo was used by National Geographic Magazine website (i wish it is for the mag though)
This photo was used by Lenovo Thinkpad ,China
This photo was used by SANS

I can go on with the list forever, i hope the website will be helpful for you guys to locate your photos out there!!

It is always enjoyable to do what you are passionate at. Not many people enjoy their live and most people just rot on the job doing the things they hate repetitively till they retire. I always try to live life to the fullest. It’s always a satisfaction to view the work that you put effort at the end of an assignment.
















photo credits also goes to Szefei

I went on to shoot some chinese opera , despite a poor attempt by a local forum asshole who tries to scare me off from shooting opera some time ago.

Here’s the recap of last message I got from him.

Taking strangers to the backstage to shoot the performers doing their makeup is a bit of a problem. I only take those whom I know as they will have to follow my instructions.

As I am allowed full access, there are some rules that I want all my fellow photogs to follow:

a – they cannot touch the costumes and other equipment unless permision is given. The costumes are expensive and all imported from China.

b – there are a few performers whom you must not shoot during the make up stage – else they chase you out. I will let everyone know who they are.

c – flash cannot be used during the make up stage. Use only fast prime lenses. This is very important.

There are also certain pantang things that we cannot do dt the back stage – I normally give a briefing to all photogs prior to the shoot.

This is why I normally don’t take people whom I do not know. I simply cannot know how they will behave. I had come accros photogs who remarked loudly “alamak the actresses look so horrible when they put on their makeup”. Needless to say these photogs are banned from my outings

Are you male or female?

and of course , I had no issues with what he mentioned nor I had issues photographing the most rural area on planet earth. I always believe in respect even to those who have nothing to eat or wear.  Obviously, this guy is an asshole asking me whether I’m male or female.  He’s probably a retard looking for a chance to shoot with girls only, as expected I never got any message from him after I told him I’m a male

Now back to my story.

I never gave up the idea of photographing chinese opera. I’ve always wanted to photograph people in culture. Fortunately my girl friend (co photog too) told me there are a lot of shows these days and we can sneak in to take some photos.

So here are some captures for sharing




This old chap looks cool too when he is smoking but I had a hard time capturing it.







I like the way she sits still there and just kept quiet most of the time.







I was told by a leica sifu I met there that they are maybe the last generation of chinese opera performers in Malaysia.

While Malaysian government is busy imitating pendet ,barongan dance and many more from indonesia. They neglected what we have on our own backyard.

Modernization has probably corroded our culture and heritage. The young generation prefers to work wearing a tie inside an air conditioned office. I would like to return yearly to shoot these, but I’m not sure for how long. Someday maybe we will look behind and realize what we have lost
