Meditation
This is a study of mood of a man relaxing at the waterfall of Kota Tinggi in Johore, Malaysia. Obviously, the noisy flow of water did not disturb his peaceful meditation. The placement of both his hands further emphasized his state of mind. This image was selected for Asia Magazine’s desktop calendar titled “1987 Reflections of Peace”
In A Singapore Market
This was one of my very first acceptance in the Singapore International Salon in 1962. I used a Rolleiflex twin lens reflex camera fitted with Rolleikin to capture this image at the China Town market. Kodachrome film was used. This picture won the Silver Medal and US$100 cash (top award) in the New York World Fair “The World and Its Peoples” Kodak International Picture Contest in 1964. After 42 years , the image is still as brilliant as brand new, a testament to the longevity of good film (if kept properly).
