Telling A Story

Yesterday,I read how Ms Valerie Jardin,the famous French Street Photographer used six photos of a man sitting in a restaurant to tell a story about Paris.That is a tall order for me to tell something about Kuala Lumpur in six photos.

Some fifteen months ago,I did try to tell the story of KL pedestrians by me taking six shots of whoever passed through the kakilima (pavement) as seen from me sitting inside  the  Express Box Restaurant along Jalan Tun Perak as shown above.

Comparing the two approaches , Valie Jardin fixed the person and took photos of how he acted or behaved in a Paris Cafe.In my case,I fixed the door and whoever  passing by pedestrians are the subjects of each shot.

To me,a story can be told in different ways.Let the story teller choose his format ,content and medium.What matters more is the message delivered.

By the way,what is the message?
