Portraits of Vanes

I actually shot Vanes in KL few months back when I went to catch GRA. Yes, its been way over due, but its year end and I'm just trying to balance the books (published photos =)) I still got heaps of old photos have not published!

You would probably notice that the photos are smaller in size compared to my recent posts, that is because I have completed this album for a while now before I decided to upsize the images.

Indonesian Weekend

Last weekend I was at Jakarta for a workshop on my new hobby. It was a few days in the hotel confrence room and luckily I did manage to get out for a bit. 

View from my hotel room. Couldn't do much as the windows were dirty, and I couldn't open them (safety concerns). 

I was in Jakarta maybe more than 10 years ago, and even then the traffic was intense. As soon as you hop onto the taxi your thrown into chaotic traffic which somehow manage to avoid accidents. Miracles.

Joe's Workshop (cont.)

Updated on Wednesday, February 10, 2010 at 3:50PM by Gerald

The workshop was organised by wedshooter.tv. A site created by Louis Pang. The workshop kicked off at about 830 Louis introduced the program a bit and then introduced Joe McNally. Then we (the ‘students’ of light) introduced ourselves. It was kinda strange for me as everyone had a purpose and know what they want to learn from Joe. Me, I said that I was there to have some fun. Hmmm.. actually I was there to see how he worked. Which I did. And it was a lot of work! He is a perfectionist sort off… and has heaps of experience to throw at the problem and is really really good at what he does. For those who didn’t know, Joe is a lighting guru. He has a knack of making the photos look so natural that you cannot tell that it was created by artificial light. And most of the time accomplished by the small lights, speedlites. Who also won many awards and accolades over his 30 years of experience in photography. And recently voted as one of the top 30 most influential photographers of the decade. 

And he has got a lot of gear… I only shot a few pics of the gears n stuff~

Mid Saturday

Today is Hungry Ghost Festival +1, was suppose to go swimming today, but canceled. So instead I went with my parents to the temple to pay respects to my grand parents. Met up with my uncle's and cousins there. Spent about an hour there and then left for breakfast. We went to this location where I have not been to for a while. When I reached I met a dealer there, what a surprise. He took his family for breakfast before going up to MJC to operate his business.
