18 April 2008 This is one of the very first images that I took when I started photography nearly 2 years ago. The picture was taken with the Canon EOS 300D and 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 kit lens.

7 April 2008 Sometimes its good to do something different. I don’t generally like to take studio type pictures and portraits. Partly because its such a hassle and a pain to set the lights, arrange stuff, wait for the make up and so on. Having said that though, I love the idea of being able … Read more

When I got up this morning to read the results from the online papers, all I could say is ‘wow’. Malaysia woke … Read more

The parties have started campaigning and posters, flag, billboards and signages have already plastered the city of KL (and I suspect other places as well).
