Credits to Caesar for organizing the photo shooting with few of the young models. Didn’t shoot much of the photos. Wasn’t prepared or couldn’t come up with a theme on the spot. So its just another “simply shoot shoot”. The photo shooting session was held at amphitheater, near to Civic Center.
btw, that is one of my favourite orange bag he is using. Crumpler rocks!

Here I did an architectural photoshoot for OneTJ ICT Mall over at Tabuan Laru far end. The building is almost ready, only left the tenants to renovate and move in their stuff. Looking forward to the mall’s opening.

Haven’t been shooting lately due to work and left this blog un-updated. So finally, there is an interesting event over at MBKS, the Kuching South Council Headquater. It stated in the title, its the Mid Autumn Lantern Festival although the official date is over but still, its “autumn”. Anyway, didn’t shoot much photos. it was very crowded and I did not squeeze through the crowd like I usually do. Feeling kinda lazy this time. The weather was hot too, I tried not to move around and stayed in same spot.
There werre many programmes for night, drum performance, dancing, wushu and also singing. Didn’t shoot all those. I stand aside and enjoyed the show instead. A great evening to kill the time.

This is probably the last event inconjunction with month long Kuching City Day celebration. The event, Martial Art Display 2008 was held at the MBKS Hockey Stadium. It was raining heavily earlier that day but fortunate it stopped raining during the event.
The event is supported by the large crowd of taichi members both young and old. Other participants includes the ITF Taekwondo, Wushu and Silat. All demonstrated their skills and action on the field. Then followed by individual and group demonstration.
Taekwondo as expectedly demonstrated their pattern movements and also breaking techniques. As a taekwondo member myself, I do find them rather “lembik” or in english - softy. Its easy to earn a blackbelt in ITF taekwondo. You can see a member as young as 12 years old having a blackbelt.
As for some photography comments, its quite challenging to shoot fast movements. I get to try out some ideas of mine. but didn’t work out as I expected. Could have been better if its daytime.
Anyway, for more photos.. read more.

An unusual photography event for some, but I still find some photographers making their appearance there. I am also one of them. The event took place near the so called “Seven Stories Flat”, at a small temple. This event is held annually to welcome and make entertainment for the “good brothers and sisters” who are having their holiday on human world during this time of the year, the 7th Lunar Month.
Depending on some people, it may be a taboo to visit these places but for others, it can be an opportunity of blessings. Treat the spiritis well and you will get blessings from them in return. I am there to experience the ceremony and taking photos thats all.

This is my mischevious crying nephew. 4 months old. With the digital camera age, we should give everything we have to what we don’t have back then. LOTS OF IMAGES OF THEIR CHILDHOOD! Well, I have some old film photos of myself. But it just doesn’t show much of how or what life was like when I was a baby. So, having equipped with a digital camera and a passion for photography, I am capturing memorable moments of my brother, sister in law and my dear nephew.

Bypassers
Last Sunday, I was invited for a photoshoot with Anna from Sibu who came to Kuching for a short trip. Little I know about this lady. I was there just for the photoshoot. There were 4 photographers including me. I am not used to direct face front potrait photos. Just didn’t feel there is any plot or story line within the shooting. Basically, its a potrait shooting without any theme. So I didn’t shoot much photos.
Went to two locations for photoshoot before the sky turns dark and the lighting was just not good enough for shooting anymore. Everyone were tired that time anyway.

This year is hosted by the South City Council. I learned a lesson last year, not to shoot the parade when they’re on parade. Instead, shoot the parade when they’re not on parade. Meaning, the best time to shoot is when they’re gathering up and getting ready for the parade. So most likely they will fool and play around, thats where you can capture all the mood and fun.

Oriental Instrumentalist on stage
I was given the opportunity to make a coverage of the Oriental Music concert which was organized by Shangyin Music. The event was held at the Tourism Complex on the 27th July 2008.
The music and songs played by the chinese instrumentalist were indeed mezmerising. I was personally amazed by the young erhu player. Erhu is the so called “chinese violin” as shown in the photo above played by the young lat.
The evening event could have been better if they have made some introduction towards the equipment played and of course an introduction of the performers.
Anyway, I was still impress with the performance and its certainly a motivation for myself and my music lesson.

Well the main attraction would be the cosplayers. I would regard it more as a mini anime convention as it seem to be the main highlight there.
Took some photos of the nutty and wacky cosplayers in action. Mostly candid shots.
