THE BLUES OF WAITING

As I walked passed near the man sitting on the floor,I was wondering what he was doing.After checking the main gate to catch KL InterCity Train to Ipoh,I came back to see what this man was talking to the two standing visitors.Walking nearer,I heard they were talking about Ipoh.May be they were just like me waiting for the train and there was no where to sit.All the seats were taken.None was reserved for senior citizens like him and me.

The man needed to sit down.His knees cannot take 45minutes of 70kg sitting on them.I knew this tacit knowledge from personal experience.The man used a few pieces of newspapers as a mat for him to sit on.He has a bottle of mineral water to keep him hyrated and his mobile phone is connected to the power ssocket.Very cunning..But on second thought,people may have bad impression of him.

However,I think I may be smarter than him.I went to McD restaurant nearby,bought the cheapest drink and got myself a seat.Life is like that..

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...
