This photo was one of the Water Pitcher Award winners of the 20th Singapore International Salon held in 1969.
During that time, montaging with blue diazo was considered quite a creative approach. I think the main elements of this image are the colours, patterns, lines and composition. This was also one of my 24 transparencies that I submitted for my successful FRPS Pictorial Panel Distinction in 1970.
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.
