The Dummies And The Blonde

November 15, 2004

My first visit to Perth, Western Australia was just over one year ago in 2003. I was there first for a work-related conference. Staying back after the conference for a vacation, I was joined by my dad. While exploring the streets of Perth, we chanced upon this candid moment of a sales assistant enjoying the sun outside her shop, right across the street. We were struck by the wonderful lighting as well as the wry humour of the situation. Making a quick grab of my camera, I was fortunate enough to capture this shot right before the girl realised that a candid photo of her was being taken.

Fun Within The Spirals

The above picture was taken during the same session as About The Curves at Darling Harbour, Sydney, Australia. I entered this shot for the monthly member’s competition of the Digital Imaging Group of RPS in October and came in third place overall. I like the spiral patterns of the fountain spiced up by the touch of human activity in the two children at play.

About The Curves

October 28, 2004

New photographic works has been wanting of late because of the drab, gloomy weather that will herald the arrival of the rainy season in Singapore. How I wish the weather can be like that of Sydney, Australia, where it is claimed that over 300 days of the year are brightly sunlit…

I took this picture at a interesting fountain display next to Darling Harbour on my visit to Sydney in September 2003. The interesting patterns of the fountain alone, already made great subject material for photography. Imagine my delight when some children made the fountain their playground for the day! I love the strong contrast between the almost monochromatic colours of the fountain and the bright colours worn by the child, illuminated in brilliant lighting.
