My first photowalk here was about a decade ago when I joined KL Flickr Group to walk and shoot photos.This is Little India of Kuala Lumpur.As a resident of KL then,my familiar and regular places were around Kampung Pandan and Keramat areas. Back then,Malays prefer to live in Malay majority areas,so were the Chinese and Indians.It was a great cultural suprise to see so many Indians and their rich culture.I love the colours,the food,the smells and the sounds-vibrant and lively.
My interest in photography as a serious hobby began about five years ago when I began to join friends at photowalks and attended photo talks.Every time I go to KL Sentral nearby,I took time to walk to Brickfields and shoot some photos until I don't know what else I have not shot around that area.But still I go for STREET PHOTOGRAPHY.It is not about the place, but more about capturing the moments and the stories on the kaki lima,the road,the shops,the restaurants and the market place.
I lived in Kuala Lumpur from 1984 to 2009.It has grown to a level that I felt uncomfortable to live quietly during my golden age.So I moved out to the suburban city Bandar Baru Bangi and only 10 minutes away from Putrajaya,where I love to cycle there every weekend-not to mention where I enjoy taking photos of great buildings,bridges and beautiful landscape photos.
