WALKING IN THE WOODS

Walking in the woods alone is my own version of short meditation in motion. I just love to wander around where my legs take me to places according to my heart desire. I switch off my mind not to think where to walk and what photos to take. I just follow my footsteps and take photos of anything that I fancy.

I was seduced by the lighted tree trunks and lighted patches of grass along the lakeside.So I walked and listen to my feelings.

Maybe I was late last Saturday. There were no birds chirping in the trees.I only heard the sound of silence.It was deafening and at times very scary. But I kept moving and found a bridge that connects to a rock garden. However, the track led to the left behind the bushes. What lies behind these bushes, I dare not think and stopped short of crossing the bridge. Slowly I walked away without looking back.Somehow, I got the eerie feeling that someone was watching me...

On the way back to my car, I felt like running , but I kept my cool and walked along the lakeside.Never show you are scared but always show you are brave enough to walk alone.As I was walking on a carpet of dead leaves, every step of my walk made some noise that I felt someone was following me. I cannot pretend anymore. So I walked briskly to my car and drove to Pasar Tani to get two packs of nasi ambeng. Pheww, what a day...

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...
