Passers-By at CityLink

I always envy people who can shoot in MRT. I never have that kind of courage. i wish i have.

Street shooting has always been a field of photography which i'm very interested in. Shooting commoners in their most natural state, if well executed, allow us to have a feel of the place without even visiting the place.

Last thursday, i woke up from the bed telling myself, if i don't shoot today, i'll never have a chance when school starts. It wasn't something pre-planned, just something i had decided last minute. I wanted to do a bit of night cityscape as well as street shoot, hence i chose area in the vincinity of City hall. The nightshoot was bad, i was actually quite bored with the pictures i had. They all look so similar to the ones i've shot 2 years ago.

As for the streetshoot, i decided to capture the people using city link. I've always wanted to capture 'people'. The pace of people, their movement and their traces left in the underground tunnel.

Some walk in.


Some walk out.


But there is bound to be one that is here to stay.

Retro Esplanade In Polaroid Format

I always like the style of holga/lomograph pictures. Thought of buying one of those holga or lomo cameras but that would make poor Guorong even poorer. I'm not sure how close or successful i am but i think the post process is quite ok-ly done. There's still room for improvement though.

Esplanade Two

Do i have any comments from you?

The Awaken Sleeping Beauty

My mom and sis said her hair is too messy, not nice. I say Enen looks very stylish with her messy hair, looks like a little model. What say you? =)

Onyx

Today sucks. Has been a long time since i had a bad day. My bio clock is screwed up and it really screwed me. Feeling a little grouchy when i woke up in the morning, thought things going to improve when i start shooting but nah, mood wasnt there, my lack of sleep could be part of the reason. Jason and i had something interesting planned today, we didnt want to think of the theme prior to the shoot, we just wanna shoot anything that comes along. Intended to take a bus which we're unfamilar with so we won't know where it'll be bringing us to but in the end, we stayed around Orchard area due to the slight drizzle. Might try this another day.

Met a cool bunch of break dancers today. Stayed with them for a while hoping to get a few shots of them breakdancing but all the pics turn out crappy.

Later in the night, Adrian smsed me to tell me Yingbin has arranged to meet up on Thur to get our H10. Arrgh, supposed to be shooting with S that day, i guessed i have to postpone the shoot with her but i haven't got reply from her yet. Feels darn bad about it.

With this, i hope to sleep well and tomorrow will be a better day.

Oh, i almost forgot to do a short intro on the above picture. The above is a montage which i had done for Onyx. Situated at where Centro used to be located, Onyx is one of the latest club in town. I have been to the club for 3 times or so and the thing that still impressed me is the lightings in the club. For the clubs i've been to, Onyx has one of the best lightings around. All credits go to the Light Engineer, Mr Sulaiman and his crew members.

Oh yeah, the girls might wanna check out this very photogenic looking staff working behind the bar in Onyx. He has lots of cool tribal tatoo on his right arm and he sports a ultra short haircut. Sometime he wear those old fashioned looking shades, can't be missed! He's at the bottom left hand corner of my montage.

With that, i shall pen off..

明天会更好。。

大家，晚安。

Shopping Cart

Great Singapore Sale is ending on 24th July. Shopping, anyone? Adrian and Weiliang! When are we getting our H10? Haha...=P

This is a shot of my niece's toy cart. Tried to make it into a classic b/w, there's still lots of room for improvement.

Cocco Latte

Finally, my reservist ended 2 days ok. Just when i'm getting used to the vegetation, i'm getting back to the urbanised city again. Everything has been fine, everyday has been well spent. Kindof miss my army mates. It's really like a gathering for us. OC said he might be organising a BBQ in coming year end, i'm looking forward to it.

For the past 2 months, i have been shooting in various clubs in singapore every weekend. I got tremendous amount of pictures that can be made into a mini clubbing portfolio. Besides pictures, i've also made many new friends during the shoots, friends who are clubbers, Deejays, waiters/waitress, event management personnels etc.

Starting from Cocco Latte, i'm going to post a montage of the clubs i've snapped before every week. This is of course only made possible with the kind permission from the management of Nightlife.sg.

Cocco Latte stands along the circumference of Mohd Sultan Road's Gallery Hotel. This cosy two floor boozer boasts an intimate lounge area on the first floor and a DJ console on the second. For more information, log on to http://www.coccolatte.com/home.html to check out the details.
