Curious

Lip SengMay 9, 2005

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.

Calm Water

Dieng Highlands, Central Java, is a plateau 2200 meters above sea level. This image was taken at the reservoir in this area. I like the richness of the colourful reflections. The boatmen were set up to provide human interest of this serene landscape. No additional Photoshop treatment was performed.

Morning Spray

The golden touch of the morning sun provided warm colours for the whole image. The water sprinkle further enhanced the visual impact of the picture. I caught this picture of a farmer hard at work watering his vegetable plantation first thing in the morning during my visit to Dieng Highland, Central Java in 2002. I was there to attend the Annual Meeting and outing of the Nusantara Photo Club. The NPC 2005 annual meeting is scheduled to be held in September in the Central Java area follow by yet another outing in the region.
