SEEING THE INVICIBLE

Over time,as I take more photos as an avid photography enthusiast,I began to see more details in the subject matters of my captures.When I take time to ponder at the photos,I began to see more-something beyond the visuals recorded by the cameras.The photo above was taken in the town of Kuala Krai,Kelantan after the big flood in December,2014. The water level went up to the first floor.In front of the rows of pre-Merdeka shophouses were debris and rotten furnitures damaged by the flood.

As an engineer,I noticed the great work done by the British architects/engineers during the colonial days in building towns and city around the country.The standing buildings are witnesses to their great knowledge and experience in building design and construction.

The photo of the Hot Air Balloon Festival in Putrajaya is obvious. The fun was in the air-the pun was intended.However, there is something quite interesting on the ground.This small girl is too short to see the balloon hidden by adults in front of her.Her mother was very clever.She found a dustbin and got her duaghter on the cover.Now,this little girl could see what other adults in front of her can see.All it took was a little effort.

This lady is from Southern Thailand.Some Malays there are very poor.They come here to sell kerepok and tirbits.I see more people giving them money than buying any goods from them.This is a view that I hate to see.These poor people just need our help.At times,I got angry with myself for doing nothing to help those in need.As I grow older,I see more with my mind and heart than my eyes..

Let the photo speak first?

Should photographers explain their photos, or let the images speak for themselves? A strong photograph can stand on its own. It invites people to look, pause, and interpret the moment in their own way. But sometimes a few words from the photographer reveal the quiet story behind the frame — what was seen, felt, or noticed in that fleeting moment. Perhaps the balance is this: Let the photo speak first. Let the words gently reflect afterwards. 📷

SOLITUDE

Solitude at the Water’s Edge At the quiet margins of Putrajaya Wetlands Park, moments of stillness often reveal themselves in the simplest scenes. This photograph captures one such moment — a lone bird standing calmly in the shallow waters of the wetlands, surrounded by patches of emerging green and a mirror-like surface that reflects the sky above. What makes this scene compelling is its sense of solitude. The bird stands alone, yet it does not appear lonely. Instead, it seems completely at ease in its environment. The calm water, lightly textured by ripples, creates a soft canvas where reflections blur the boundary between sky and earth. The bird’s reflection anchors it in the frame, quietly doubling its presence in the landscape. The composition embraces minimalism. Most of the frame is filled with open water and subtle tones, allowing the bird to become the natural focal point. The scattered patches of grass break the uniformity of the water surface and hint at the slow, livi...
