cong a.k.a jordana site of me and updates (will change soon)

First photography shoot after back from Perth. I am guilty of not completing my Western Australia Travelogue. Last 2 days to go but some local photographic tonic was needed to keep the enthusiasm high. A slight break from W.A photos, HDR was in my agenda for this shoot.

Chong Wu and Audrey were the companions for this trip. Trio again for my photography shoot. Chong Wu led the way to OCH for he had been there before, alone as well! My first visit there was greeted by the huge compound I never expected. I snapped the enclosure keeping in mind with framings done for interior.� Bracketing functions were turned on, tripod was mounted. Not snapping away trigger-happy, I hope my careful selections of viewpoints could put OCH into perspectives. With the injection of HDR processing, beauty could be brought out from what we could only associate dilapidation and eeriness from such uninhabited and forsaken structure. Pictures shall take the stage now.

HDR has always been in experimentation for me. My growing interest was fed from Keyuan when this topic was discussed in depth after our trip from Perth. The limitations of digital photography has no doubt breed this form of processing similar to cross-processing in the film realm. Unless HDR is not being taken for granted with the envelope pushing till it becomes unrealistic, HDR is sure another avenue for aestheticism when digital photography is concerned.

Photos also can be seen at my facebook album.

I know I am kinda late in this. But personally I just thought I shall stand by all in unison for his memorations first as the world was then at grief for this tremendous loss of talent in pop music. Now listening to his ‘Heal the World’, repeatedly, his voice carries with him the compassion and love the lyrics so correctly spelt out. You can never be too uninspired listening.

Humans only cherished what they lost. Towards MJ, we are once again no different. Despite all the negativities he was portrayed by the press, let us forget all the ambiguious comclusions we tend to draw from these reports and remember only the craze he brought to us by his astounding moonwalk. If you feel your goosepimples beginning to tinkle watching his dance steps so excellently-synchronised with the zombies, or the gravity-defying 45 degrees leaning with the mafia, you are not alone. Millions around the world feel the same, and that will continue, as long as he stays in our memories, which I feel time has no say in this matter.

I would not go on too much. I am loss for words to carry on for just his songs playing in my earphone has cause me not thinking. Watching his dancing feats in Youtube just continue getting me mesmerised. Enjoyment of his works would be the best justice to him.

MJ, R.I.P. The world loves you. We miss you.
