Alternative Photography in Malaysia or The first wet plate ambrotype in a long time in Malaysia
Wow. That's the only word I can sum up after looking at my own ambrotype print i made using chemicals acquired from extraneous means. Except for the Silver Nitrate which i bought in London when i was there for a holiday, I didn't buy any of the chemicals from any of the overseas shop. They were all bought one by one locally and mixed here as well.

It's a big big world...
...and we are so small compared to it.
One of the reasons i got married wasn't that i found someone i can live with. It's somewhat of a cliché, but i got married because at that moment in time, i realized she brought out all the best in me and got me wanting to be more. I just can't live without her, so to speak.
I've also realised that to go ( Read more... ) -

It's always been a consternation of mine last time, when bad weather occur, to just think there is no photographic opportunities to be found in that weather. Well, unless im willing to go out and be wet and make my equipment wet ( Read more... ) -

Friend+Client=Fiend???
I'm going thru a tight spot at the moment- I'm hard-up on time. And that deficit is making me lose it big time, because I have no time to finish post-production of my photos the way I want it. I would love to be uncompromising and do it my way, but sometimes, you can't. 70% of the Clients just want something, Anything. They do not care if the pics ( Read more... )
