Dug these out from the archives a few months back.
For those who aren’t aware, there can be 2 ways of going about doing an editorial shoot. The expensive way entails coughing up model’s fees, location rental, equipment & lights rental and hiring of a producer / art director. And then, there is the DIY, rough [...]

Access
The Digital Journalist has a brilliant and personal article about ACCESS, the eye contact and getting close.

Some people beg to differ as did Andrew Yip. He feels that Chinatown is [...]

The Coffee Connoisseur
I’ve seen this old man around Purvis street for a while now. He sleeps in his trishaw night after night and is probably without a proper home. You can find him at his favorite spot just besides the turn at Raffles Hotel.

Wheels in motion
Having recently bought maps from the local Kino book store, i guess its become apparent that the process has been set in motion with tangible actions undertaken. I’m not so sure if things will work out with my venture to the great unknown, but we’ll see. Everyday now, countless of hours are spent trawling the [...]
