Thanx to stephen and rachel for being so organised on their PW shoot, even got driven around in a porche, and a nice dinner to end off! here’s a few shots!

all clickable for larger versions.

In conjunction with the MPA qualifications, David Oliver, a reknowned wedding and portrait photographer from Australia (born in England) gave us a brilliant insight to his work, and possibly, his heart. What a sincere man, and it pleases me to see that REAL photographers shoot REAL things with REAL passion. And if you think his weddings and portraits are good, wait till you see his landscapes and personal projects… amazing stuff. very very REAL.

Here’s David, i just went up to him and whacked a frame while we were getting ready for a group shot, and i do hope he likes it, will be sending it to Colin who would probably forward it to him.

And below is the group shot, many of whom i have deep gratitude for, for their advice, guidance, encouragement and friendship!

Finally, after weeks of sleepless days and night at the computer and the printer, the grading is over…

I was awarded an Associateship with the MPA after a double promotion today. I have many people to thank, especially all my couples that have had the confidence in me to shoot their weddings, allowing me for this portfolio.

Thanks go to many other important people, as credited in the slideshow below of the 38 final images selected for grading. 12 of them will be entered for the Singapore Masters competition tomorrow.

Havne’t posted a b/w series for a while so here’s one taken a couple of days back.

randy and hf, i FINALLY shot your wedding, after soooooooooooooo long…!!

willy, was great shooting together again, the live photocards are stuck on my monitor with bluetack already!

Was having a harrowing experience looking for all the different files on my 4 external hdd and two PCs for my MPA grading and in the middle of it all, instead of pulling out my hair and getting into a worse mood, i decided to collate the images i have so far into a slide show. mind you, selecting the song took a while, i’m not even sure it’s suitable but it has a nice feel to it.

Hope you guys enjoy it, looking thru it made me believe again, that i have found out what i was born to do. i’ve said that b4, it’s not pride, it’s revelation.

even if i never ever become a good husband, i guess this is enough. yes, always on the topic of looking for a wife. ha… this blog’s been around for how long? some things don’t change easily.

ANYHOW, pictures please!!!!
