MY PHOTOGRAPHY IN 2021

 




I started this photography blog way back in 2014. Today, I have posted 1220 postings, the highest was in 2017-308 in one year. This year 2021, here is my 51st posting.

This year is similar to last year. My movements are very restricted and I went out about twice a week. I hope COVID-19 will fade away soon so that I can do more photography.

Our photo group Putrajaya Photowalk is very active this year. We posted hundreds of photos every month on about 50 themes. Despite MCOs, I managed to organise five Photowalk events for my group. Thank you all my friends for your active participation. As a group,  we started a photobook project two months ago. I hope we can print out our Photowalk Photobook next year.

Personally, I have done four photobooks- Urban Photography, Putrajaya, Putrajaya Wetlands and the latest one Beauty of Putrajaya in Black & White(BOP). Two weeks ago, I put my BOP photozine eBook for sales at Shoppe.

Yesterday, I went to Brickfields-the Little India of Malaysia to capture the place. It was a fun place to walk around. A few restaurants had closed but life goes on. I am glad to see the nice apartments sprang up and the town is very clean. For me, it was not a street photography walk but more like a documentary Photowalk. However, I managed to get a few photos for my street photography.




What is my plan for 2022? I will keep shooting what I love to see but I will do a few photo projects.

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...
