Possibilities with Weeds

I love nature. These series of photographs will probably tell you why.

I thought this might be useful for those of you who have just acquired a camera and don't know what to shoot. Again, I will let the photographs (taken with my trusty point-and-shoot Panasonic Lumix LX3) do the talking. All taken at the same place, no colour enhancements, no additional sharpening - only cropping.

Different angle, with flash

Just love the colour of the sky!

Same patch, only went nearer, and used flash

Beautiful creations by mother nature

Snapped this while waiting for the wife. Was in the centre of KL, not in a jungle, as a friend thought.

French Recipe Book - Cocktail Passion:Entertaining with Love

This labour of love, by Nathalie Arbefeuille and Jaen Ang with yours truly as the photographer will soon hit the the market. In fact, I expect to carry some books starting from next week. You can place orders with me.

The food was mouth-watering good. You can either buy the book and try out your hand at making some of the cocktails, or visit 'Nathalie's Gourmet Kitchen' located at Solaris Mont Kiara.

Writing and photography – is a picture really worth a thousand words?

Hmmm. Rather profound statement. I had always asked myself whether I should just post photographs in this blog or write about the photograph that I post, or write a long story with a couple of photographs to illustrate the writing. Well, looks like I have found my answer in this article:

which was posted in Twitter recently. A good read

Photography Exhibition

Aptly called "First Exposure", I will have some photographs exhibited at the Nikon Centre in Kuala Lumpur for the duration of August and the month of September together with three other photographers - Chan Swee Meng, Paul Chan and Eunice Hau.

This is made possible by the centre manager, Alex Moh, who is already well-known in Malaysia as a photographer and curator.

Night photography

Did not realise I had been lazy. Only one posting in July? Bad, Bad

Now that I had chosen, edited, and submitted a couple of photographs for the BASF Petronas's Conscience Camera Award photo contest, I can settle down and plan for my next project. Will update once done.

Meanwhile, here's one of my favourite night shots taken at the Merdeka Square a while ago
