They Came of Age

An Unknown Flower

Her Stroll

I took it when I was in Bugis with my little sister (oh, no, that kid is not my sister). It was during the moon-cake festival and they have a big celebration.

Outdoor Portrait Hunting @ Chinese Garden

We went to Chinese Garden to take portraits photo last Saturday. I made a documentary out of the footage I took that day. The photos are - apart from resizing for video - straight out of the camera, i.e. no cropping, no re-touching nor tone-mapping. Enjoy !

The Lights of the Library

Delicious

I took this photo back in Yangon. I was playing around with my camera when he's having his breakfast. I told him "Say cheese" and his reply was like that. I was able to capture the exact moment. This is one of my favorite photos.

Candid Talking

I took this photo by crouching behind a waste bin - luckily the waste bin is not smelly. I liked the idea of seeing two people's candid talking through a tightly fit small frame. I didn't understand their language and, hence, didn't know what they were talking about. However, whenever I see this photo, I feel like guessing what they were talking - would it be about their family ? financial problems ? how beautiful Sentosa was ? where to go for lunch and, last but not least, where and how to go next in that day agenda ? Enjoy !

Untitled

I really don't know how to name this one. It's a candid - a photo taken without intentional posting. Beach Candid ? Sunday's Picnic ? Freedom (I have one photo with the name too, so effectively, Freedom 2) ? So, I left it as Untitled.

Distorted Dimensions

Curves

We have many curves in this photos including:

1) f(x) = ln(x) + c
2) g(x) = -ax + k
3) two more functions - h(x) and p(x) whose derivatives - h' and p' - are always minus.

A Visit to NTU - an Engineering Village of Concrete

One evening, I have been to the famous Nanyang Technological University (NTU).

In this concrete engineering heaven, we have

narrow corridors as well as

grand lecture theaters (so large that I couldn't even frame them in the photo :P ).

Like every villages around the world, when the sun set (and even the Ugly becomes pretty :P ),

This concrete village has girls looking for water.

I'm Back

Slope @ NTU

The exit is narrow. The path is dark - and stained with blood. But, friends, don't give up. It is bright outside the exit.

In fact, this had been taken since September, last year. I just finished re-touching it. All my friends, congratulations.

Don't be afraid. Just an in-camera special effect.

Kut Ku

Kut Ku is a group of pagodas located in southern Shan State.

Along with the pagodas, we saw small buildings believed to be graves. Although in some places, the buildings tend to be out of grid, most of the buildings are well aligned.

Up close, all the buildings (pagodas) are decorated with various kinds of traditional arts rather than a quick-built.

Cornices ...

as well as spiders weaving a web in those pagodas
