The First Roll
Attention, Sir Pok Deng. The Holga 135BC photos that you had requested is finally here!
Analogue Love
Not bad for my first roll of Lomography CN 400. So far, the thing that I've learned is: Never shoot Holga indoors unless you have a flash unit. Nuff said.

Analogue Love
Description: This is by far my favourite photo. If you noticed, there's half frame of light leak and a photo of a yawning cat in the cage. Actually this was not intended, but sometimes unexplainable things happen with Holga.
Yellow Beetle
Description : Nothing much to say about this one, really. Walked around the neighbourhood and snapped this up. Went against multi-exposing it, and I had never regretted the results.
Signboard
Description : Shot this in anger when I realized I didn't wind the film roll properly, causing the whole 36 shots in the roll to be wasted.

Roaming The Streets
For this semester break, my parents promised to bring us out for a trip somewhere. And true enough, they kept to their words. We roamed the night streets at Jonker Street, Malacca when I was inspired to capture some street photographs with my new Prime Nikkor Lens 35 mm. Not having enough guts to capture people in almost point blank range (it's 35 mm, after all), I kinda failed at getting any good portraits of total strangers.
Lubitel 2
Description : Found this little baby in a second hand stall. In case you didn't know, this is a 60 years old TLR (Twin Reflex Lens) Camera and my brother had always wanted one of these. It was sold for RM150 there. Not having enough money that time, I asked permission from the vendor to take a photo of this before parting with it, giving up the chance to own it forever.
Siblings
Description : Sometimes, focusing too much on capturing photos during your holiday trip ruins your best memories of the trip. It is better to make memories than to record memories.
Stranded
Description : We were sitting in our car, waiting for the traffics to subside when I spotted this car stranded on the road. Having nothing to do at the time, I snapped it up. It was nothing good when I look at the LCD screen that time. But after I plugged my SD card into my laptop and began cropping it, I see a glimpse of perfection. Edited a little to make it look vintage, it is indeed a pretty sight! What a beautiful mistake.
Well, nothing much had happened during this semester break except coaching the KISAS drama team and also this trip to Malacca. Well, I'm looking forward for the semester to start already.

Friends
Friends are your best photographic subjects. They are not shy or nervous, sometimes they give you great ideas for new techniques. It's always a part of my routine to bring along my camera whenever I hang out. God knows if I'll miss any new masterpieces if I don't.
Ahmadiliman
Description: I was asked by the Layla-Majnun Costume team to take a picture of each and every cast for the play. After assessing all of the shots, this one is my favourite, Ahmadil's portrait - depicting Zahran the stuttering poet. Somehow, he brought in the character as he posed for this shot.
Muhammad Danish
Description: We were in one of the classes in the Social Science Faculty when I tried to bokeh the light in the backgrounds, then ideas started to expand as I pulled in my friend, Dan into the class and light him up with the fluorescent lights. A little set-up to make the light bokeh to seem like coming out of his ears, and the shot was taken.
Siti Humairah
Description: Siti brought her little hamster (Whatever their ages are, they're still little) to our showtime for the Layla-Majnun play in DBKL. Armed myself with a prime 50 mm lens, I took the shot after arranging the frames. The low light condition forced me to jack up the ISO, creating some nice effect in this photo.

Candid Power!
People always hate getting their photos secretly taken. Imagine one day at an event nobody seems to point camera at you, the next day, you see yourself tagged in someone's photos in Facebook. Most people hate that. I'm the type of person that likes to do candid photos. In my humble opinion, people will look the best in their natural form. You don't wanna start making weird faces the moment you realize somebody is taking your photos. I will literally walk away if my 'cover' was blown.
"Demented"
Description : I was doing my job as a telephoto shooter in my wedding job when I snapped this up the moment this child is getting on with her life. So far, this became one of my hottest photographs in my album.
"Decision"
Description : This one was captured in my Theatre Class. My director was briefing on the plots and storyline of the Laila-Majnun play. He slightly looked to his back to see if he still commands the attention of the class, that's when I recorded this 'momentous' and 'epic' incident.
"Joy"
Description : Both of my clients applied for a portraiture session with my photography company, TrueMoment. They were told to just sit together and regard it as a date between both of them. They find it hard to swallow at first, but when they're really hitting it off, that's when I captured this true moment. Now there's some truth for ya!
There's a distinctive line between 'candid photography' and 'stalker photography' though, just be careful not to cross the line. =D

A Cameraman, Not a Photographer
It's been almost a year since I've owned a camera. Anybody can own a DSLR these days, anybody stands the peer pressure of other DSLR/SLR purists pointing fingers at you to tell you how bad you are. How you wasted your money and not producing a masterpiece. Listen, as an outcast to an outcast (if you're one), don't listen to them. You find your own style. I've found mine. And it's not typical. It's funny to think how certain 'photographers' can say that when they don't even own a DSLR. Get a camera if you want one, and unleash your own stroke of art.
Okay, sad stories aside. Last weekend I just got my first wedding photography job! It was an eye-opener, and it's not an easy job either. I held a 70-200 mm on my D5000. My arms still ache from its weight until now. For my first job, I got RM50. I don't really pay attention to that, really. Experience are much more valuable.
Description : With a telephoto lens, any distant moments can be captured. The groom is wiping away the bride's sweat (not tears, mind you). It seems very conceptual and meaningful, as the baby was crying while the groom is wiping the bride's tears (as what our eyes perceived).
Description : The two kids were just about to meet for the first time as the boy made an aggresive move to pinch the girl's face. With a mix of luck, voila!
Description : That's a fat chance for any photographer or cameraman to do this kind of composition. They need to spot the moment quick, and adjust their cameras. In this case, I applied the Rule of Third while praying that the girl would stay on the baby's cheek a little longer.
That's a few teaser photographs I've decided to release, the rest will go straight to the photobook, specially to the clients. Improve my asset by giving me suggestions, will ya?

A Debut
It's been a long time since I've posted my photos out here. For the past few months, I have been traveling a lot and had the luxury to point my camera here and there. So, these are my latest production. Oh, and by the way, I have started being a part-time wedding photographer. And if any of you trust my skills, you can always holler and try me. Thanks!
Description : Went along the jetty of Pulau Ketam, Klang. The position of the sun and the wires caught my eyes, so I made the wire into silhouette, as it covered the blue cloudy skies.
Description: I was hanging out at my hometown in Pahang as two of my uncle's dogs traded affection in front of me. As I was cleaning out my lens filter at that time, it was pretty convenient for me to point the camera at them and click.
Description: My classmates and I were at the Uptown in Damansara to celebrate Jack's - the one who was holding the light - birthday. This was also the first time I've ever done the CLS method. Credits to Nana for actually capturing this photo for me.
That's it. Three of the finest photos hand-picked by me. I do hope I've shown improvement. Thanks for reading!

Cooking Is The New Cool
Boredness sometimes get to me, y'know. You'll never know what I'm gonna do when I'm bored. The craziest I'd ever do when I'm bored is reciting all those slogans of cigarette ads. The less crazy, well, is cooking. To hell with what you're thinking! Guys who cook are romantic, alright?
You have been forewarned, although the foods I made seems attractive, but it is not necessarily edible. Get what I mean?
Grape-Apple Jumble
Description: This is a pretty lazy method to prepare. Cut apples, pluck some grapes and melt some chocolates and jumble it up. To put more taste, I dripped some lemon juice into the jumble then poured the chocolate sauce atop to decorate. I have doubts about lemon + chocolate at first, but it turned out great! Try and do it. Best if you mix more fruits into it, don't pick durians though.
Heavy Duty Tuna Sandwich
Description: There's a reason why I called it 'heavy duty", it's rich with nutrition! For each sandwich, I put 3 lettuce leaves, 4 slices of tomatoes, 2 slices of cucumber, and lots of onions. For the tuna, I mixed it with olive oil. Toast the bread, and started assembling the pieces of the mouthful of nutrition. Yum!
Super Scrambled Eggs Set
Description: This is the biggest leap of faith I took here. I have no idea on how to make scrambled eggs and cook baked beans. Threw 2 eggs and crushed it, put some tomatoes and onions alongside with it. Later, I drained the water from the can of baked beans and spill it into the wok. Damn, I have no idea that it will pop like popcorns. A few landed on my arms as I screamed for help. Put a few slices of onion into the mixture. After arranging it on the plate, I dropped a few drips of lemon into the dish (Pardon me, I love lemons!)
There you have it. These are the things I've done throughout the semester break, cooking and making my own dishes. Hey, I shouldn't be expecting my future wife to cook everything for me, right?

Beauty Lies In Simplicity
Sometimes, when a photographer took too much time worrying about angles and techniques in his/her photo-shooting, it takes away all the fun. This is pretty much why I shoot things unstaged and unplanned. I just wanna have fun, that's it. Photography is not my career, so I don't have to stress about my quality. This is it, below these are my photos taken completely unplanned.
Child
Description: This baby girl were obstructing my way as I walked to the door. Holding my camera at the moment, I snapped this one up. Minutes later, I brought her to my aunt - her mother. I think she lost her mother.
On Our Way
Description: We were on our way to take a swim in Sungai Tengi. After 15 minutes, I got bored and decided to turn around and take a candid of my backseat friends. This is what I got.
Noir
Description: Snapped this one on our movie night. My brother and I were bored so I decided to take a portrait of him. Turns out, with poor lighting in the car, we got a 'Madonna-like' portrait. By the way: Alice in Wonderland is a must-watch!
One big tip on capturing the best photo, bring your camera anywhere you go.

Faces
Chinese New Year this year were fun, and I get to meet a lot of new faces. Well, my aunt's aunt and my grandmother's maternal sister-in-law, you'll get the meaning. It's fun to try out some portrait photos too. Too bad I don't have a prime lens with me. Now here is some tryouts that I've made that time.
"I'm Shy"
Decription : Took a photo of my brother boasting his naughty T-Shirt. Borrowed my cousin's speedlite to snap this in the poor-lighting situation. Edited by ToM KiDDo.
Youth
Description : My young niece were doing her weird gestures when I took my camera and snap it up. This photo has lots of noise in it, maybe it was because I set it to auto ISO.
Differences
Description : The photo of my sister between two of my niece. I like this photo for the different facial expression shown. Definitely fits the name of this post, "Faces".
P.S: tora corgan, harga D5000 sekarang dah RM 2599 beb, D3000 lak RM 1799 kat Low Yat. Durian runtuh beb. Gua dah mau angkat telephoto lens dah. Lu bila lagi?

Oh So Random!
Finally found some time to get online and lighten up my mind with blogs. I gotta admit, I was taken siege by assignments for the past few weeks. Took extreme enthusiasm to break out from the mountains of assignment. Here we go, these photos will show what I had been doing since my 'disappearance'.
Predator
Description : Captured this one on my vacation to Pangkor. While I was eating in a restaurant there, I lowered my camera and took a snap, voila! There's a cat looking directly at my lenses. Perhaps I'm disturbing his breakfast. Look at his sharp eyes - as if he wanted to scratch my lenses out.
'After Studies' Delights
Description : Right after finishing my assignments, I played around with my box of cigarettes and took out the last stick. Made some arrangements and snapped it out. Put on a little HDR, and I started puffing.
Shine
Description : This photo deserves to be put on the first of the list. It's my cousin's marriage registration day. Sometimes makes me wonder when is my time to be like him, you know. My only regret is that the ring they were holding lost its centre of attention, their smile were all that shines in this photo.

A Date With 'Nikki'
I had a great day yesterday after I went out for some photo-shooting with the courtesy of my friend, Iq, for becoming the driver and my tripod carrier. Without my speedlights, setting out 4 o' clock in the afternoon was quite unproductive because the day might get darker especially in this raining season.
The Season
Description: This photo explains everything. You know how reliable my tripod could be in this kind of season. I'll have to switch the shutter speed to 1/5 to absorb more lights. Personally, I like the mood setting of this photo.
Christmas Fun
Description: Snapped this from Sunway Pyramid late at night. Went there at around 11.30 PM to find lots of cars barging into the entrance to enter the pub. Night life in Sunway were always like that. I took this photo for its colourful quality and also as a postcard to wish everyone who celebrates Christmas a Merry Christmas.
The Mansion
Description: Infiltrated the Selangor Club at 9.30 PM to catch this view with a slow shutter. This is actually the second attempt to include the view of the moon. Had a smoke break there and moved on.
That was the first day I got really busy with my Nikon D5000, and it's a great experience. Which photo do you think is the best one?

My Kind of Art
Art is an expression. And I don't really care whether which part of the body it pleases. Painting pleases the eye. Music pleases the ear and your feelings. But writing, it pleases the mind, sometimes it pleases the soul. And this is my kind of art.
Unnecessary it is for us to just use art to please. We could sometimes bring bitterness through art. We could share them. Let the world know they are not alone. It allows us to cry together.
Personally, great writings that I often found in blogs and books make me smile. Sometimes, a bitter one may make me let out a tear in my eyes. Literally. Call me crazy. I can't find a better way to appreciate their expressions.
Make a story about life, and soften up hardened hearts. I really enjoy reading these kinds of writing. It just keeps me sane.
Write away, friends. Keep on writing, and bring more sanity to the world.
P.S: I almost hit the budget to get Nikon D3000! Expect more photos after a month. =)

Bean Sidhe
I saw your long gray hair
Behind the dirty black wall
I heard your sad wailing
And I know I will go home
Give me one second
To say my last word
To my lovely family
And to the world I like
I walked slowly behind you
On the golden stairway
I listened to your lyre song
And I would never turn back
Behind the dirty black wall
I heard your sad wailing
And I know I will go home
Give me one second
To say my last word
To my lovely family
And to the world I like
I walked slowly behind you
On the golden stairway
I listened to your lyre song
And I would never turn back

Buskers
I am walking on the dreamy street
Watching the dreamy buskers
Singing and playing their lutes
Their eyes looked at me, dreamy
There was a french fiddler
He had a handsome face, so charming
His eyes were green and full of dreams
His music soften my heart, enchanting
There was a group of people
Playing old folk song
With their guitar and accordion
They filled the night with love
I once dreamt to be a busker
I wanted to be one of them
I'll live and laugh with them
And stand together forever
-ToM KiDDo

Gypsy
I don't know where I came from
I traveled from the North
And now I'm here in the East
Under the light and across the mist
Under the open sky
I watched the birds fly by
I listened to the mountain's song
Which laid over a plain, wide and long
I walked along with a blue flower
peaceful blue and fragrance smell
With her spirit, I may gather power
Her voice so soft like a ringing bell
I traveled in light and I slept at night
I dreamt of birds and dragonflies
Flew around me and made me smiled
My blue flower sang and made me cried

Paradise
Now, I am here, Paradise
Where miracles are ordinary
Where sorrow lives far away
And winter never comes to stay
The Sun comes out everyday
And shines with his golden ray
Attracts the beauty with his dance
The yellow daffodils come out to glance
The Moon comes out every night
Paints the sky with her silver light
She will summon her little stars
And shine like diamonds in the sky
Every seeds grow
when they taste the Sun's light
They live forever like immortals
And I'll enjoy their sweet petals
It's not a great miracle
to fly with the eagles
And it's not a great miracle
to get what we want
A great miracle is
having Nature for company
dancing around the shady trees
And walks on the soft earth
by ToM KiDDo
"Thank God men cannot fly, and lay waste the sky as well as the earth."

Dreamland
High up at the azure sky
with thick soft white clouds
Yellow birds flying around
Butterflies fluttering on the grassy ground
On the peak of the hill
air as fresh as new
and wind came from the windmill
with the sweet sound of the falling dews
Inside the little cottage
She was baking sweet cakes
And I'm reading Anderson's fairy-tale
with a glass of sweet ale
Oh God , if I live there
just for a few days
I speak to thee, I pray
And my dream came true
with thick soft white clouds
Yellow birds flying around
Butterflies fluttering on the grassy ground
On the peak of the hill
air as fresh as new
and wind came from the windmill
with the sweet sound of the falling dews
Inside the little cottage
She was baking sweet cakes
And I'm reading Anderson's fairy-tale
with a glass of sweet ale
Oh God , if I live there
just for a few days
I speak to thee, I pray
And my dream came true

PHOTOGRAPHY! - Culture Series
It's been a long long time since I've posted but yet no one is there to ask about me. That's a little sad.
Neways, I took some photographs on Chinese Culture during my stay on my hometown in Pahang. A few comments of your appreciations or suggestions would really make my day. Thanks and bon appetite!
P.S: I use dozens of color in my entries because it looks like jelly beans. Hah!
Culture Series 1 - Mourn

Culture Series 1 - Mourn
Description: This one was taken by my bro during the visit to my grandpa's grave. He said to me, "for once in your life, you made a good pose of your legs." But what makes him shudder is when I answered, "I was right behind you that time."
Culture Series 2 - Altar
Description: I admit, I'm making my own culture looked eerie to some of you. But I staged it up! It wasn't like this in real life. In this photo I'm snapping up something that I don't have in my house, an altar of my ancestors. The ashes of my early ancestors were put in an urn and displayed on the top of this altar. My parents once talked about putting the altar in our house, but my bro objected it strongly. "I don't want to look superstitious," he said.
Unfortunately, I have only 2 photos to put in this entry. One from bro and one from me, if you like this I'll be more than happy to post more in this blog. Cast your votes for the best photo, fellow readers, for my bro and I have decided to put this into a competition!

The Modern Icarus
The Modern Icarus.
This one reminds me of the story of Icarus, the son of the remarkable craftsman who attempted to escape from Crete, created a pair of wings with his father to fly away from the prison that is holding them captive. He was warned by his father not to fly too high or else the wings will be burned in the strong glare of the sun. Once they took off, Icarus was too excited not to notice that he flew too high. Before his father could warn him, Icarus's wings were burnt in the blink of an eye, and he fell to his death.
It sucks though, how this story to inspire the modern people to invent a metal wing so that the wings won't get burnt. Through the death of others, only we will find a new idea. Sorry for my sick deductions. What's your interpretations?
