Behind the Scenes
Final Voted Casted are as below and a little insights is written to tell you why the picture was taken.
#21: A Forgotten Cindarella = 26 votes
This picture was taken at the former National Arts Gallery, beside the former Majestic Hotel opposite the KL Railway Station. The building is now abandoned but with a couple of guards securing the area. When I first saw this shoe, 'Cindarella' immediately comes to mind and I felt a sense of lost out of a sudden. Hence the photo. Taken during Mother's Day, 11th May 2008. I posted it once with a story here.
#16: Whatever Fits = 26 votes
This picture was taken at a row of abandoned shophouse near Changkat Bukit Bintang. There was a film crew at that time, shooting some gangster fight scene. I walked towards the side where they parked their cars and saw this door and smiled. The wall was full of greeny moss but the door was something else. Everything fits just fine. Taken during KLickr 25th Meet-Up photowalk on April 26th, 2008.
#07: Negaraku, Photographer Style = 16 votes
My first ever KLickr photowalk at Kampung Haji Abdullah Hukum on August 19th, 2007. This photo brings a lot of memories, not only for me, but for the nation as we were the last group of local photographers who took shots of the place before it got demolished. This photo is to accentuate the difference of development and preservation and the vital need for both. Farisa was right, the picture brings a sense of national pride. This was also the first photo where a friend complimented, saying "great observation and caption, you have the eyes to see picture.. one of the best shot that day. " .. Thanks kenmin for the words.
#10: A Sparkling Old = 15 votes
This was taken on board the ferry to Langkawi in May 2007, my first company trip with Perdana Leadership Foundation. Just playing with my Digicam and thought its a nice shot. Guess the ocean mood fits the capture too. This was among the photos I exhibited for British Council's Pecha Kucha night last year.
#18: I'm Watching You = 14 votes
A test on how my Digicam can play with depth of field and macro shots. This is my little sister and I was from the back of the Avanza. Her eyes was piercing and the picture turns out to be great (for me at least).
#08: Bridge to Wonders = 11 votes
This is a small bridge at the back of my Opah's house near the paddy field. We used to crossed this bridge everytime we went to play at the tali air near the paddy field. Taken during last Raya.
#03: In Drunkenness, I Can't See You = 9 votes
This photo was taken in 2006, a movie outing I had with my younger siblings in Midvalley. Which reminds me, I have to bring them out for another movie outing this weekend. My younger siblings are probably the only love of my life who will be with me until the day I die.
#22: Kawan saya, Si Ranting = 8 votes
Just a moment for my Timberland to meet a fellow branch. Story is here. And I personally think that the story for this photo is one of my strongest writings.
#06: Hold Me Mummy = 8 votes
A blogger friend I known for a good 4 years, gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. And she asked me whether I could take some photos of her baby. I simply love the moment captured here. If you click on the picture, you'll find a poem I wrote for her.
#09: Sang Bulan = 7 votes
I was on my laptop, at my desk facing the window. I like my windows to be opened all the time. Suddenly I glanced up and saw the most beautiful sight and enjoyed the moment for a while. One of those moments that reminds me how deeply I was in love with the moon. You can click on the photo to read the story I written for it.
#24: A Sunset, A Momento = 7 votes
Driving with my oldest bestfriend for dinner, I saw the sun was about to set. She immediately drove as slow as she could once she saw me ready with my Digicam. Then there it was. A Capture. With a friend I've known since I was 10 years old. We spent the whole day together. And with the sunset, it ended just so perfect!
#05: The Moon Has Been Pushed Away = 6 votes
When I was working in Perdana Leadership Foundation is Putrajaya, one of my favourite routine is to stop anywhere I can when I saw a great sight of the sun, moon or clouds. This one, is a moment for all, sun, moon and cloud.
#11: Penantian = 6 votes
Another picture from the Kampung Haji Abdullah Hukum photowalk. This old lady is the granddaughter of Haji Abdullah Hukum, who opened the settlement. In her wheelchair, she shared stories of the late Haji Abdullah Hukum, how he came here and opened up the kampung. Somehow, she reminds me of all our grandmothers at home. Who stays at home and waits. For raya. At least.
#01: Feeling Morbid = 5 votes
This so-called disturbing picture was an experiment I done while borrowing a friend's Nikon D40x SLR. I was tempted to do more than just this, probably with some real blood and bruises and dirt but I didn't want to overdo the whole concept. While being in the moment, I did feel morbid.
#02: A Farewell = 5 votes
This is one of my favourite moment and probably will be the landmark to the concept I have for the cover of my book. Taken during those crazy stops in the middle of the road while going back from work in Putrajaya. Plus, I was deeply in love with the Sun and the Moon at the time.
#04: He's There = 5 votes
A play with my little brother and the flash from my Digicam. During my sister's engagement in 2005.
#12: My Childhood Walk = 5 votes
The normal path we walked since we were small, back in my dad's hometown in Parit, Perak. I love it there. By the roadsides, there are rambutan and mangosteen trees we used to climb when we were small. This path takes us to the paddy field.
#15: Never There = 5 votes
Taken at one of those harbour (shoot, I forgot already) in Langkawi during our company trip in May 2007. I like the feel in this one. Its like waiting for something that is never there.
#19: Sedetik Rasa, Sekilas Pandang = 4 votes
On board the AirAsia to Jakarta for Jakarta Jazz Festival 2008 in March 2008. The last international flight I had was coming home from Australia to Malaysia in 1989. I was awed by the scenery and took a moment to absorb it in my soul.
#20: Tunnel of Lights= 4 votes
Love sitting at the back or front of the Putra LRT becos I get to see the tunnel. And in some occasions when I'm equipped with my camera, will always be moments captured.
#13: Breathe = 3 votes
My sister didn't realise when I took this picture. I like moments like these. Candid. Yet, doesn't look like so.
#14: An Identified Flying Object = 3 votes
This picture was taken during Atilia's Ranjau MTV shoot in Ara Damansara in January 2008. The sun was setting and I tried to experiment capturing flares. It worked to my surprise.
#17: The Perfect Light of Imperfection = 3 votes
This is another experimental shot upon borrowing a friend's Olympus.
#23: A Mother's View = 2 votes
One of my personal favourites of Bibi and Aini. Ahhhh, again, my fetish for babies.
Thanks to all who voted and the most overwhelming thing was that all 24 photos that I chosen for this voting process were voted at least with 2 votes. Hopefully the event will be a success! I'm pretty excited because most of my personal friends will be there and that's just great! I'll see you there ok!
