One of the Pewter Tray Awards from the 24th Singapore International Salon held in 1973. A visit to a soya sauce factory in Singapore provided me with an opportunity to capture the image of this man at work. A montage of a piece of lith film onto the original transparency created the much desired dramatic impact for the image.

This is an image created by montaging three pieces of film together. Two of silhouettes (the flock of birds and the group of people) were created from transparencies of my collections with lith film. The original colour transparency here is actually the image of setting sun against the silhouettes of the willow trees. This image won the Best Creative Award of the 8th Spectrum International Salon of Guernsey, UK in 1980.
This location is a sand dune near the beach of Parang Tritis, Jogjakarta, Indonesia. We were setting up this picture over there in 1980. The villager and his cattle were supposed to stroll along the sand dune. However, he somehow lost control of his cattle. That unexpected slip-up provided the opportunity for me to capture this decisive-moment image. This picture won a Silver Medal at the 9th Linz International Salon, Austria in 1983.
