Japanese Drum
Japanese drum was one of the items that was performed at the 1999 Xujiahui Cultural Festival in Shanghai. I was fortunate to be there to participate in the 1999 “Shanghai in the Eyes of World’s Top Photographers” event. I would like to share with you with this decisive-moment image that I captured. This picture is one of two acceptances from Singapore (the other acceptance was from my son, Eng Loy, ARPS) for the 2005 Royal Photographic Society of Great Britain Members’ Exhibition.
Curious
I was invited by the Shen Zhen Photographic Society as a Guest of Honour for the opening of the 10th Fuji Cup (1996) Top Ten Prize Presentation cum Exhibition in 1997. I was given the opportunity to visit Fujian, China to capture this candid image. I like the expression of the little girl. She was obviously puzzled by the lion dance performance in the surrounding area. The only manipulation here is the partial desaturation with PS for the black and white effect. This picture was one of three prints that I exhibited at the 1st “Month of Photography in Singapore on Humanist Photography”, an event of the Singapore Arts Festival 2002.
