Old photos…

 

Found some old photos that I took in the 90s. Photos were taken using negatives then. Scanning technology was poor at that time and I had to make do with what was available. It’s such a pity now that I can’t find these pictures anymore, only got the above digital [...]

Note to self… Cut your negatives while you can…

Yes. Like what the title says, cut your negatives while you can, which is immediately after it dries on the hanger. That’s when it’s the most straight and you won’t have a problem trying to cut a curled up roll of negatives.

I’m such a sellout…

Taking wedding event pictures is a real hassle. It’s a lot of hard work and it’s most of the time, a thankless job. I’ve told myself so many times that I’m going to quit doing that ‘cos I feel so tired and frustrated after the shoots especially when I look at the cost / benefit [...]

Suggestions anyone?

I’ve been trying to find a way to carry my laptop as well as my camera with 3 lenses and 2 rolls of film. But till now I’ve yet to find a way to carry all that without breaking my shoulder or the straps of my bag.
The bags I’ve seen that are able to do [...]

Cursed batteries!!!

Sunday, 6.45pm.
It was drizzling outside as we sat chomping at our whoopers inside Burger King. We’re contemplating if we should proceed to One Fullerton for the fireworks display. The weather was pretty bad but I would hate to leave without getting a shot after lugging my gear around.
We decided to give it a shot. Seems [...]

What makes a good portrait?

What is a good portrait? Why makes one portrait different from another? I’ve been asking these questions for a long time and only recently did someone answer those questions for me. A good portrait is one where it causes the viewer to take notice of the portrait, to want to learn more about the person [...]

Photographers and their names…

What’s with photographers and their names? If you move around enough in the photographic circle you’ll notice one thing, a huge majority of them who have companies or websites always name it after themselves.
Be it a grotesquely famous photographer or a wimpy, scrawny little nobody, be it someone who have great works or if their [...]

A little help from Leica…

This happened to me while I tried to bring in my camera bag into a convention. There were ushers stationed at the entrance checking bags for security reasons and soon it was my turn.
I opened my bag and the usher saw my DSLR and very firmly but politely said, “Sorry sir, your camera cannot be [...]

Nigel Parry

Born in Yorkshire, UK in 1961, Nigel Parry and his works were introduced to me by Wesley of Memphistwest. I searched the net and found his portfolio and I was blown away. I really like how he brings out the character in each of the subjects he shoots.
Take a look at his works here.

Zosia Zija

Born in 1975 in Poland, I chanced upon her work in usefilm.com and immediately took notice in the way she capture her subjects in their portrait shots. Don’t know how to describe the feeling those pictures gave me maybe one has to look at them and come to the conclusion themselves.
You can find her works [...]
