PHOTO SERIES

 I chose five photos to be my five sentences to describe the subject matter. It is more like five senses of myself experiencing my encounter with Musang King durian - the sight, the smell, the taste and not to mention the cost!

A few years ago, I took part in the Photowalk at Bukit Bintang, KL. It was led by a well-known and experienced photojournalist. We were briefed to wander around and take photos to reflect the life there. So, I went aimlessly and looking for something to shoot. Then, we were told to select five photos to describe the life at Bukit Bintang area. That was the most difficult part. From the exercise, I have learnt a few lessons in photo storytelling.

In the last few days, I have been posting more than a dozen photo series on my Facebook. I got a few likes but not much comments that I can learn to improve my photography. No matter what, I shall continue to do these series. Maybe later, I can convert them into a Photobook.

Here is one photo that tells the story of the quality time of a mother and her two sons by a canal passing through The Hague in Holland.

  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...
