well, last time spent so much time to write journal in zorpia.... very long and i clipped most the picture ( one by one) ... when i reach the stage to post it up... zorpia server went kisiao and all my post just went 'kaboooom' gone~!!!
#@!%^^$^&^*$%$@#%&^
so now i have to rewrite, but it never be the same... sad
make it simple lah and cut the long story to short. i went back Alor Star on last week ( Malay's new year - muslim) for holiday break. thought i have good rest but ended up not... i was booked, however most cancelled. @#%^@^!^ anyway i just have no mood to bring out the camera to shoot. just no mood. actually i was planned to shoot the second series of 'pursuit' back at the home town Alor Star... many place were reconstruct and also raining seasons. just dll and boring. most time i being a potatoe on couch to stare at the beloved TV for Astro. and of course enjoying some MTVs.
well, my friends did planned a small gathering in my house. not many people attent though. but the feeling just nice to seeing them back. not much change and same all time silly people that make silly things. hahahaha
so i did not test my ilford in AS but in PG (Penang). thanks to Ah Long ( from penang hokkien), he drove me a few place in penang. he did not know what i want and i also did not know what to ask. so we were just round and round some place. not bad though, i managed to get a few old cinema for my achitecture photography. and of course those foods...yum yummmmm. oh~ i also met the Ah Tox ( penang hokkien) and his family. just adorable! so bad i did not get this photograph, next time!
after penang trips, i went back KL on the same night. quite tiring tough even i have driver to drive me.
okay, no more story lah, all boring dull. back to pic

yes, this is just another series. Taken from petaling street, and this is completely different than the last series from petaling street "untold". the previous was more about the untold and behind the scene. and, this time is about behind. "the butt"
The Butt - they can speak. each one i taken has their own personality. it was a risk to take such photograph, because i may just get hit by some one there. So i have to act quick at all time. Petaling Street is quite 'allergy' to camera, and i have to sneak and take butt photograph. I only manage to get afew interesting butt and behind. i will go back and shoot more when i have chance.
here is the photograph:
let start will time order

zeffy (typical malaysian boy), aliff, and sean at the mamak stall
luxury meal

we ordered alot... this is the last scene b4 aliff eat them all

Mr/Mrs Johnny. they are very funny friendly people. we enjoy the meal not only taste good, but conversations we have.
they can speak many many many language, and they speak much more better than me!!!
now
back to the topic
"the butt"

this is one of my favorites
such a contrast

busy butts

hygiene butt, i missed the owner though.

sweet butt - fruit stall

missed aim the florish butt

a busy shoe seller butt

shoe buyers' butt. sexy!

fruit seller. the fruit just great~!!!

bread boy~ i am hungry!!!

seekers' butt

ladies' butt - skirt buyer

puppet seller

guess whose butt...
they are taxi drivers' butts

music artist

crossing street butts

good mates' butt

balloon seller's butt
that it, and i shall capture more in future. cheers!

Friday,Oct 13 2006, 08:41:20 PMPursuit Series
I had them scanned, apprently i had my HDD formatted. So, all the data i have is gone. After that just being lazy to scan them because they take ages to get done (scan). I had them scanned 2 days ago, i know i cannot do it half way so i had them all done in one go. i started from 9pm and i managed to finish them 9am the next day. And i have to get to work at 915am. damn rush! I transfer them into my external HDD, i brought over to office to get them done for processing.
I was happily converting them to Jpeg until disputation inccident happen on me. Which make me very upset for the entire day (even now the heat still in my mind). Something un-rational, just that i cannot ignore and i almost blow my head off by that thing. Very idioteeeeeee~ now the hooping rope is infront of me, just the matter to get the timing right and hoop~! thanks to all friends who cool me down, which save me from blowing the place off. yah not burn it down YET.
okay, let put the stupid thing aside and back to the topic. Well, this series i had it named as "pursuit". just a very simple work. This series all taken from LDP highway ( one of the famous motor highway wihtin Petaling Jaya, Malaysia ) It is recording about my life, the road/way that i travel from home to office by daily, and of course the same road/way to get home.
Why pursuit? i have to go to work by using this motorway, i pursuiting my aims and dream of my life. Daily... i seen these ways from over and over and over for N times. It happen to me for many times that i have visual about this LDP. oh~ one more thing. I do like speed driving, this title actually also meani pursuit the speed and claim my victory. Each time i driving in car, such beautiful scene just gone through my brain. sunrise, sunset, traffic jam, rain, and even haze... LDP is a very busy road, it never quiet down, not at all. To get those shots i had in mind, really is a life risking. I have to get to certaint part of road to get the angle. First problem you have to get sort out is the motor vechicle. I want all my frame emptiness and quiet. I am not sure what was came into my head and i decided to jump into the LDP to shoot. So, i found Zeffy who interested to join me this craziness thing. I planned this shooting on Sunday morning (3am). I guess the LDP should be more quiet than other days at this hour. Actually i want it on the next day, but we have to work on Monday. To avoid that we will work like souless zombie on Monday we had that day fixed.
At 3am, i went to Zeffy's house and took him off to LDP. We started from the first junction from my house to LDP. We have some warm up action there, testing the light value (EV/EL) metering all the light and shadow. Funny, that fellow did not bring tripod for this night shooting. After the first shot, we just walk up the hill that just after the junction. Now the tricky part is here, we do not have the same light level and i have to re-metering the EV/EL. The available light is only from some high street light and the road is not evenly lite up... and some area cover by tree or board. i either low the detail in shadow or overburn the highlight area. Luckily i picked the correct exposure, and luckily film has better range if compare with Digital. Different spot area has different light, each time i have to meter just to confirm the light is correctly expose.
Highway, you will not have place to park your car at all. So, we ended up stopped my car somewhere and walk to the spot area that i want to shot or cover. Walking with heavy equipment at the time at the busy road is not a fun at all. Yes, i have my reflector save jacket on me, still i can feel the threaten feeling. Seriously, i am standing at the middle of road that car passing by with over 110kmh. Some area i have to get zeffy stand far away from my back just to make sure no car coming near my back and run me over. We have policemen came over us ask checking on us. thanks, they did not give us any trouble at all.
The total process of photography took us 2 hours plus. the only time we spend the most is the way from home to office. Because the way from office to home was taken on car (moving). from the way home-office is all sharp but the way office-home is blur. Normally i went home with tireness and madness, so the thing i see is blur and out. That mean the other half of pix blur are done by purpose. And the effect not bad though.
After this series, i guess i love motorway even more. i consider to expend more on this kind of similar work. Let do it long term to document all the highway as much as possible.
last not least, i guess is time to present you the photograph:

first junction

just after the juntion







this is one of my favorite shots


the barrel have changed for several times, but some driver still love to crash it down.


a direction, only way


this shot was taken with blind shot technique. just a lucky strike`!
i had the camera mount on tripod and set on the timer. raise the tripod to high place and snap~
surpricely sharp and well compose


i am not sure what mistake was it, but somehow i like this shot

great spot for sunrise. 630am normally

during sunset is nice here


after the highspeed downhill curve, this corner become sharp turn from gravity reflect.
the only place i dont dare to go over 90kmh at this corner.
now... the way home

blur is it?

more blur

this is the original Canon's signboard, but now has changed
color inverted and neon light added

get steam~ drive faster...
yes, this car just good for corner

fuuyoh, another corner to take

after here, infront is a seamless sharp corner. have to extra careful
and damn~! i got scratches on the film

told you, this car good for cornering. driver went mad again

choose the way~!

the place you can test your braking system

i took several shots for this place previously, but i think is shot just nice.

this shot is out from the batch, vertical angle.
but this is the only way i can present it in well

btw, we did not turn to right, but went straight and get here

zeffy the helpful guy, plus the first time drive my old car.
steam~! fast and smooth

gone through the tunnel
and
the end
thanks for viewing.
Good bye~!
