Favourites
This is a potpourri of different genre of my photography which considered as some of my favourites . The great thing about photography is the wide variety of genre. Mine is a mishmash of messy images trying to cope up with God's limitless supply of His beautiful creation around us.
I am not interested in shooting new things - I am interested to "SEE THINGS NEW"….Ernst Haas
It takes a lot of looking before you learn to see the ordinary….David Bailey
Night shopping - Amid the heavy mist, we never relent and went out photographing in one of the nights. It was my first time experiencing such heavy fog and wasn't quite hopeful of any good shots. A few shots attempted here and there and voila, I got an iridescent sheen of the subject under the dazzling lamp post and the unexpected "catch" of the night.
Queuing to enter the Rat Temple. That day was full moon, must be something significant for them to visit the temple.
Shweigon Pagoda
Pearl Shoal 5 - Pearl Shoals is famous for its multi level and countless majestic waterfalls. This image evoke my memory of that unforgettable experience of the powerful roaring water.
Street of Amritsar
Ernest devotee - Taiwan
Street vendor
Tribeswoman - A Black Hmong tribes in Sapa Valley, her daily routine normally consists of walking a few km by tailing tourists in the hope of selling their hand-made wares. Her weariness through these years was telling from her sedate and impassive expression.
Oruva boat 1
Could be one of those that sneaked into the train cabin to have a nap before the train pulls away. A desolated figure and sense of emptiness that I captured.
Celebration dance for the passing of an abbot at Parabaw village. The dance is known as Talor Arka (coffin dance).
These workers dancing to the beat of "Beat It" enroute to work. Nah, I found the image is appropriate to tweak a little in Photoshop
Welcome to Mahagandayon Monastery - Welcome to monk hood
Image of a buddhist country (Myanmar) - We set foot after a shower and I managed to make good use of it. it was about 7.30 pm and the light changed in a matter of minutes under the pool of reflection showing the lit gilded spire. A monk appeared from behind with inquisitiveness. I quickly orchestrated him to walk beside the puddle and lo and behold he willingly obliged, giving me just enough time to get the shot I visualised. I knew at that moment I had caught an image that would be symbolic of my journey to Myanmar. One of my favourites for this trip !
A killed goat along a back lane ear marked for the dinner table.
Mafia player
Pilgrims from all over sleep inside the temple compound
Caught both - sleeper and sneaker
It was noon, the light was harsh, and so black and white was a fitting medium to immortalise this moody scene and it's famous Coliseum.
Vege seller
Gazebo in Vietnam
Negombo fish market.
Dancing outside the Rat Temple to please god
A country of many temples - Presently about 2,300 temples left, down from 13,000+ temples at the peak before being destroyed. These photomontages are intended to convey my abstract expressions of the many brightly lit temples in the night located within busy roads.
Cheroot smoker
Reflection
Ear cleansing by the street. The cotton for cleaning was simply tucked above the ear
Certainly a faked Rolex
