Farewell, Feron Wong

This is the place where I share my shutter journey, but it's not restricted to just everything around the camera, but also what's around that makes the whole world of photography a beautiful kaleidoscope.

Just learnt that a model who used to be quite well-known in the TFCD scene at a forum I frequent had passed on quite sometime back.  It was through my partner's friend who knows her in person and had taken a shot of her tablet at the columbarium during one of the visits.  From the eulogy, it was shared by her best friend about her personality which is that I read, makes people around her feel warm.  She had been fighting the cancer disease for 4 years (which could be the reason why she had not been publicised in the forum for shots after 2011).


Here's an album I found of her which was taken in 2010.  I must say she has the qualities of looking great in front of the camera:

Thank God she is now in Paradise.

Housekeeping

One of those nights where I stayed up to do some housekeeping. Photos are my business and so I have to do it all.

Finally done some tidying up of my portfolio which I had not had the privilege of time on my side the past few weeks. And another wedding has just been posted up, much belated.

Look forward to making many more beautiful weddings!

Abandoned - Forest bashthrough

Today was a trip to multiple stops: Neo Tiew and Istana Woodneuk. Considering the remoteness of these places, careful planning has to be done to ensure the fastest and safest route.

Arrival at Neo Tiew at 8+ in the the morning. Greeting me is a small town that looked much bigger after stepping in. No sign of any massive human activity apart from a contractor carrying out some works nearby alone, and thereafter, leaving the premises, with the whole town to myself.

2 hours exploration and I have then completed exploring nearly every nook and cranny that's worth shooting.

Stopover for brunch at Subway, followed by the next mission to where I had not been able to find Istana Woodneuk for sometime. The right moment came and I decided it's time to go in.

Rainstorm greeted me as I bashed through the forest with my gear man-packed, and after about 10mins of forest navigation without any visible paths, I had come to a hill and there it was. Standing on a hill, carrying its lost glory, while grounds are severely pooled with water in the overgrown weeded-vegetation.

A small group of people were also inside the building when I arrived. Big halls, once grand stairways greeted me when I reached the ground floor.

It took me several rounds before I had complete coverage of the place, before another couple who came, after the sun had emerged from the clouds.

What a beautiful sight despite its ruins.

Mission accomplished. I had covered 2 places within a day and while another place was noticed in Cluny Road, will leave this to another time.

The joy that brings self-satisfaction

I had just did a delivery of prints to a client. Though it wasn't a photobook, those prints certainly does bring about the sparkle in their eyes after seeing them.

What brought me great joy was that they really like what had been produced.
