Sunday Special - Trunk

We are suppose to determine the age of a tree by the number of rings you can find in it’s trunk.

But seriously, I have been staring at this particular log for a long time, where is the ring?

People 2012 (34) - Photographer

Okay I am biased. All along when I started this project, the only photographer I have in mind to feature has to be one using Nikon. So it has been this long wait when I am able to find someone using the right equipment and is also in such a perfect pose for me to shoot him.

“It takes a lot of imagination to be a good photographer. You need less imagination to be a painter, because you can invent things. But in photography everything is so ordinary; it takes a lot of looking before you learn to see the ordinary.” David Bailey

Sunday Special - Mosque

Selamat Hari Raya! Season greetings to all my Muslim friends, have a wonderful celebration!

People 2012 (33) - Tour Guide

Secretly one of the job I ever have lingering thoughts to step into was to be a tour guide. I like to meet people, exchange ideas on traveling tips. But due to my lack of adventurous spirit, it was always just a thought.

I am contented now to be the guide just for my own family.

Sunday Special - Singapore

We just celebrated our nation’s 47th birthday. Looking back at what we have accomplished in the last 47 years, we must all be in awe of the success and the great works our leaders have done. True, no one is perfect, but I am quite sure we have one of the best group of leaders in helm.

People 2012 (32) - Foreign Worker

What a coincidence that this post falls on our National Day! Of course the best photo to post will be a photo of the president or prime minister. But that is just a wish.

So I thought let’s be totally off and post a photo of this foreign worker who is definitely not celebrating National Day, he would probably be still working when the nation is celebrating. But the fact is, our country will not be like what we are without this group of foreign workers. Many of us despise them, think that they are dirty or smell differently, but how many of us are willing to exchange with them and take over the hard work done by them?

Salute to all the foreign workers in Singapore. Happy National Day to you!

People 2012 (31) - Fisherman

What is the greatest gain in fishing?

Most people would say is the obvious gain like how many fish did you catch.

But what about the unobvious gains? Like patience, isolation, concentration, perseverance?

“All you need to be a fisherman is patience and a worm.” Herb Shriner
