Last year,in June 2016 I wrote about how I came to like and dislike Street Photography after being on the streets for two years.Another year has passed by since then.What is more interesting for this musing is about my recent visit to Netherlands and London.For this posting, I will talk more about my street photography in Netherlands and Malaysia.
All the above photos were taken during my cycling tour of Holland in the middle of May,2017.When it comes to taking street photography,I was overwhelmed by the numbers of people cycling on the streets.I can even take photos of Dutch people cycling even at 2am.Most of my days in Holland were sunny and the temperature was around 15C.I was spoilt for choice.There were so much to shoot.Cycling is part of their culture but to me it is still special.I live in Bangi where I hardly see few Malaysians cycling to work or doing their errands except for a few foreign workers.At the same time, I saw a lot of people walking and the sidewalk cafes were full.
My first photo is in colour to show the green environment in Holland.The highways are not jammed with cars and look very safe.A lady was sunbathing while waiting for her bus.The other three B&W photos tell the stories of peaceful,safe and urbane life of the Dutch people.They seem to enjoy life to the full.Given the choice,I love to live here.
Top and Bottom Photos were taken at Dubai and Kuala Lumpur Airports.
In Malaysia, I do get some good street photos at Airport, Bus Terminals, Railway Stations and Agro Market(Pasar Tani) where there is heavy pedestrian traffic.At times, I also managed to capture shots in cafes or Mamak shops.
