Hyper Girl

It seems like dinosaur ages ago since I really go on a picnic. I managed to join in a simple impromptu picnic organised by my group of old time friends. The original plan was to check out Henderson Wave but we eventually decided to just go for a more relaxed picnic at the more peaceful Punggol beach. It's a 2 hour event and we literally do nothing there other than eating finger food and chat. For me, I can't help but shoot one of my friend's little girl, ZL. (good thing I've brought my camera along). I met her a few times over the past years during occasional gatherings (she's grown alot)...but she was so hyper and cute yesterday that I know I must get some shots of her. She was so eager to 'pose' as well.

Her mum also told me that she can't stand her girls nonsense sometimes. I've got a little taste of it from a short conversation with her...

ZL: You cannot lie to me or else your nose will grow very long like Pinnochio.

Me: Then elephants are bad liars.

ZL: No you stupid! Elephants can't talk!

Me: ....


Here are some pics... :)











Apparently, my little Ray didn't really enjoy the outing...

Javis + Jean + Dave

Photography: Yong How

I got a surprise email from Jean some time back to ask me about taking some shots of her boy...and she identified herself as my secondary 2 classmate. It is only when she told me her chinese name that I knew who she was from the following email. Also, we've not kept in touch since we left school. I'm glad that it's a gathering of sort with this shoot with Jenny, another of my Sec 2 classmate who popped by. :)

Children have always been one of my favourite subjects to photograph as they exhibit so much innocence and energy. I had never taken a paid job to do that but I've been getting quite a bit of shots of children from the weddings I've covered. My own little boy has always been a good 'model' too.

It got me pretty excited when I knew that I'll be shooting Javis (Jean and Dave's boy) exclusively in their home. Javis is really easy to warm up with and it took me just a minute for him to get comfy with me around. The whole session was done very casually and there's literally no art direction. I'm glad that Javis, Jean and Dave are so cheerful throughout the shoot.

Here are a handful of images to share. :)























Thank you Jean and Dave for this great opportunity. We'll keep in touch again. :)

Chinese New Year

Yes, i know it's the 10th day of CNY, but it's better late than never. Wishing all the couples as well as the readers of this blog a Happy Lunar New Year.

Took some shots of my 'newest' niece when they came house visiting. She's one of the most obedient among the many nieces I have (sound as if I'm old).


"Come on.. give me a smile"

"Yeah!"




Ok, that's all folks. Will post some of the wedding photos soon.

Cheers!

New Kid On The Blog

I was supposed to keep an eye on him while my wife go make milk for him. Decided to quickly make this shot before I pack my gears back into the drybox.


This statement will make my wife kill me..."Taking care of Ray is so easy, just drive him to and fro from infant care and take pictures of him everyday will do.". Haha.

Wishing everyone a good weekend! ;)
