Still shooting... but no more blogging

So it's been over a year since my last post.  I've kind of lost interest in maintaining this blog.  Plenty of other things to spend my limited time doing.

Been doing mostly black and white film photography lately with home developing, scanning and inkject printing. It think I'll be sticking with this process for a while. 

You can find recent photos on my flickr...

Another update

Still short on time. Have been slowly doing more 'home visit' portraits...

Also have shot a series of discarded TVs for a project titled 'not digital ready'. I have about 150 photos of different verges shot on my way to and from work over a couple of weeks.

A quick selection here. I still have to edit the set into something presentable.
Here are a few...






















In other news...

I was a semifinalist in the IRIS awards and also the lucrative MORAN photographic prize for 2010.

I now have a Leica M2.

Next baby is iminent. Going underground again... 

update

Not a lot of time to maintain this blog for now...  I'm not sure how often I'll be updating here so check out my flickr stream to see what I've been shooting lately.

Very little photography lately, except lots of baby photos which I love, but are pretty boring to everyone else.

Been buying more gear as usual.  New to my shelf are Hexar RF with CV35/1.7, Canon 50/1.8.  

Also Pentacon Six kit.

I did get selected to participate in the Magnum workshop in Feb this year.  Chien Chi Chang was the tutor.  The workshop involve shooting a project within the 5 days and selecting and preparing the images for exhibition by projection under the guidance of the tutor.  The projection was featured at the opening of Fotofreo 2010.  A very intense and enjoyable week.  My work will also be published in a Magnum book featuring photographs taken by workshop participants.  some of the photos I took here:

Japan

Just back from a spontaneous 10 day trip to Japan visiting Tokyo and Kyoto. What an amazing country. Dying to get back ASAP.

Some pics. A few are from a Fuju KlasseW which I picked up at a used camera store at Tokyo station.

Not sure what caused this light leak. I think it was because I didn't load the film properly initially and had to manually respool it before reloading.
