SSP Kuching Mural Photowalk 2021

 SSP or Sarawak Street Photography activities had been slow since the Covid-19 started in 2020 and further with MCO on 18th March 2020.

I was also not spared by Covid-19 and lucky I am fully healed.

Sarawak Street Photography organized a photography event SSP Kuching Mural Photowalk 2021 on 4th December 2021 as the cases of Covid-19 in Sarawak decreased and only a few participants joined us.

Yet it was enough to start the fun rolling after so long hiding in our own space or indoor shooting.

Glad to meet season shooters like Master Chan Hua Chiang, Master Abdul Rahman, Jimmy aka Sunset Hunter, John, Maliana Dahlan, Mazlan to name a few. Master Bakir Bujang, our leader joined us a bit later.

Kuching City Council had permitted local talents to paint some of its old buildings with attractive and interesting murals which attracted us to do this event and show the public what Kuching Street had to offer if you just love to walk around Kuching City.

Below are the murals that attracted my eyes.

1.Mural of the Sampan or Tambang which ply the Sarawak River. Located just near the riverside.

2. Murals at Lorong Dock

3.Murals at Lorong Masjid India. 

And at last our leader, Master Bakir Bujang coming fully loaded.

4. Gold Miners Mural not far from Blacksmith hub.

If you happen to be here, have a taste of some delicious Lek Tau Suan too.

5. A Beauty and Cat Mural

6. Murals at the back of the Bishop Gate

Master Chan and Master Bakir discussed on our next event, a photoshoot with the theme Borneo Traditional Costume which were held the next day.

See you at the Photoshoot.

Before we go for Photoshoot, let's have a game of Chess. May you have a great day and stay safe.

See ya.

I am back

 

I was lost and now I am found.

I am back after a long lost in internet world when I redirected this blog to other server many years ago. Its a tough time as I missed blogging and I thought it's been deleted as that particular server was closed too.

I have travelled to many places all these while which I had captured in photos in my Flickr account.

KL Street NightWalk.03

My KL Street Nightwalk series continued with my lastest night walk on Wednesday, November 26th, 2014 and this time, my brother Wak Li companied me for the walk. I reached Pasar Seni LRT Station at around 5.57PM and went straight to our agreed meeting place which is Yusoof Restaurant, next to Central Market.

Wak Li is half way having his Teh Tarik and Roti Canai when I meet him. After a short rest, we headed for Petaling Street and the shooting started.

These are the images that I have taken during our walk until 8.30PM on that night.

All images taken with Olympus OM D E-M1 with lens Olympus Digital ED 12-40mm f2.8 PRO and Olympus Flash FL-600R. (Need to practice more with RC and off-camera flash.)
