A Journey Home

Been back to Malaysia from the States for a couple of weeks now. Since getting down from the plane, I have been riddled with the usual “hustle and bustle” that’s so synonymous with Malaysian life…. ah, the sight and sounds of Asia, at times I miss it, at times I don’t, but it really makes you feel alive, except for the haze …..

Here, I am going to share with you some of my pics from my Grand Canyon Trip, and I do hope you like it…. sorry for not updating my blog for sometime, but have been a little busy adjusting. My buddies back in Malaysia have really been keeping me busy!

Notice the unmarked planes? These are "bas pekerja" for the staff at AREA 51. Suprised?

Did you know the Grand Canyon is actually a dormant Volcano?

Far Far Away

I have been in Asia for such a long time, that I have become accustomed to the cultures, sights and sounds to a certain degree. Well, I’m going back to the states for a well deserved holiday, my actual home, and was rummaging through my files in my Malaysian home when I chanced upon these old pictures. It sure does bring back some fond memories of Americana and I think would be a welcome change for my Asian Friends.

This series was actually one of my final photography projects in America, and Montana is the 4th largest state. I wanted to capture the Western feel of Montana and had some of my fellow mates come along as the models. In actual fact, you can see the color and hue’s are very different from Asian colors, not because of the camera, but namely because of geographic location, which actually effects the natural lighting conditions. If you find that hard to believe, I was using the Nikon D2H …. what camera was that? An old (new that time) Nikon Professional Series of  mega pixels unheard of, these days. These photos are about 7 years old but I was pleased to find them “well preserved”. Hope this will give a better insight to my Asian friends!
