old school - photo exhibition

stumbled upon photo exhibition in old school. it's an eye-opener in a sense, one has to find his own style, looking at those masterpieces. they were not commercial photos where the pictures were crisp, sharp and well composed. whereas for art photography, it's anything goes - you just have to make an effort to synchronize your theme and express it in your own way in photos.

jimmy fok gave a talk on "on being a professional photographer". no techniques, but only business side of it.

it rained big.

haze-free sky - the WINDOW-blue

yellow-banded moth - mating season

spider - surprised look

here it was sitting pretty on a leaf
biting on something
turning around 360 degree
raising its head when the flash exploded
tank-top head with two shining fangs
6-eye vision had the best of the surroundings
8 long legs for springing high and far
supple abdomen stored ample silky thread
our friend
the little jumping creature
had it good

chameleon - the shy photoyee

stays quiet, motionless in the bush
alert as a nite owl
at the slightest sound of the footsteps
darts to the other branch
drops to the grounds
and out of harm's way

wip - flowers

the flowers of
yellow-mellow
prostrating, facing upwards and side-way
rain comes and goes
ants hurry by
out comes melons worth all the hazy-choking days

the next day - flowers withered

morning - another good day

the rain came last night, taking away much of the haze, and freshening the morning air abundantly.

you meet a green-eyed fly, and share in the joy thru the water droplets hanging down from flowers and leaves like unpretentious jewels.

this year has been a very good year so far for this little island - it's hot when it's not raining, but it rains every so often, you think you are in the rainy capital of malaysia; TAIPING.
