Today is officially my last day of my day job, same day as our nation's Merdeka (Independence) day hence it is a nice thought that the whole nation celebrates with me on this national holiday. Many have and will ask why at such a 'young' age (ok, I am not old enough to retire) that [...]
Wow, what a trip! Despite the daily scorching heat (in the 40's) I really had a blast of a time. Shooting opportunities were aplenty, food was surprisingly good, hospitality was first class and the people were sooooo nice. What else can one ask for? OK, perhaps just better internet connections.

Don't you enjoy seeing the joy in their faces? That is what our lives should be. This photo was taken at a waterfall in the village of Bedulu, Bali. We chanced upon this group of boys having fun at the fall. I can still hear their laughter by looking at this photo. Always bring a [...]
It is always nice to see kids having fun. Our guide prearranged this shoot for us at this water-spill around Klungkung, Bali. When we arrived the kids just appeared from the neighbouring houses. We were supposed to photograph them in better early morning light. Unfortunately some of the participants were hungry after the sunrise shoot [...]
Those who have been to the Ubud market in Bali would reconize this ibu – she runs a stall selling souvenirs at one of the sidelanes there. I make it a point to visit her each time I am there. I usually just chat with her but during the last visit in Jan 2010 I [...]
As part of the village tour we came to this waterfall where we met this group of children having fun. I climbed down to the riverbank, and while standing precariously (for my gears) on some rocks and shooting through some overhanging vines, I grabbed this hot. This shot reminded me of my more adventurous younger [...]
Yes, we will be going to Bali this May 7th-11th again. I thought the last Bali photo-safari in Jan would be the last for a while but I just can't resist the draw of the Melasti festival.
To those who may not know the Melasti festival is an annual festival where the villagers purify [...]
We met Pak Sara during the shoot of Pak Gulem at Bedulu village, Bali. Pak Sara actually came to watch the shoot and I was glad that he agreed to pose for us too.
Allow me to intorduce Pak Sara who was 90 yrs old.
Shot with Nikon D3 + Nikon 24-70mm/2.8 Aperture [...]
We were at Jimbaran fishing village on the evening of the 3rd day. The plan was to shoot the sunset and have a BBQ seafood dinner at one of the restaurants nearby. We had a blast of a time and so did the returning fishermen coming home after a bumper catch.
One of [...]
This time in black & white. I was going through the files and found this one with the interesting lighting. Hope you like it.
