How to stay in the Now.






I picked up my car from the repair shop after almost two months since tha accident, the body job looks great but the engine does not sound the same anymore and as i was driving here to the USM Gallery the car stalled on me at the Gelugor Roundabout. Nope not the same car anymore and as to be expected i suppose. The Museum Gallery and its Staff too are going through some changes with new faces and renovations and so i will need to find a new place to work from soon snough. My artistic creative output is being put on hold as i have run out of juice or inspiration to do any work. t


I have decided to work with the shots I took of a street side 'Sunday Market' which I happened by while travelling in North Sumatra someityme in 2004 . These pictures were taken with my digital camera an olympus and they came out quite good. I like to capture people in these circumstances doing their daily activites. Capturing their colorful cloathings and their natural postures from varuious angles makes it a n interesting composition.
Lightung also plays a vital role for me when I take a snapshot as it enhances the compostion by rpoviding strong contrasts of the colors and shapes.

good company of friends like i used to have in the past, those who were of simmilar energetic thinkers and movers, those who were creative and aggressive when it comes to making things happen, those who force one to think and act with their charisma. Maybe this too is an indication of the aging process part and parcel of getting older well if it is then I will have to change my plans and start looking into more drastic solutions towards making my future more challenging and less tedious, like start my painting on a grand scale for my upcoming shows. Get off my arse and start l;ooking into things that I have put off eversince my car was hit. My sabattical is over, back to work and time to give em Hell!
