There is always a first time to everything … and, this is my first time joining a photo exhibition.

It is an honor to be selected as one of Yaman Ibrahim & his Mutual Friends #Kolektif 1  photo contributor.  Yaman Ibrahim is a very talented and famous photographer here in Malaysia. A simple, humble and down-to-earth artist that I find easy to work with. 28 photographers (from Malaysia and Brunei) exhibited 78 pieces of travel photograph around the world during the exhibition period. Do come and have a look at our photos on display at MaTIC Kuala Lumpur. Admission is free.

Detail information about the photography exhibition:

  • Event: Yaman Ibrahim & his Mutual Friends #Kolektif 1
  • Location: Matic Art Gallery, MaTIC Malaysia Tourist Center, Kuala Lumpur
  • Date: 3rd September 2015 to 30th September 2015

Honestly, I felt weird seeing my own photos on display and a bit awkward when people start to ask questions. Reason being … when I shoot my photos I was totally in my selfish mode. I love the moment and I wanted to capture and keep the moment to myself. I want to look at my photos and be reminded of the feelings that I had while capturing those moments. And this is totally new to me …well, there is always a first time to anything, right?

But, seeing it being printed and hang-up on the wall triggered an excitement in me. I want to have more and more of my photos printed out on beautiful papers for my personal keeping or maybe once a while I want to share it with public through photo art galleries. I want to be an artistic photographer … a fine-art photographer maybe. Hmm what a dream huh?

And, these are my photos exhibited during the photo exhibition.

I learned a lot from this experience and I need to reassess my photography direction … again and again. So much to learn, so little time.

Ok. I gotta go now. Need to pack my gears (and my crazy COURAGE)  for my next adventure 😛 ,  a cross-country (xc) expedition via paramotor ride from Tok Bali, Kuala Besut, Terengganu to Batu Buruk beach, Kuala Terengganu. It is going to be a long ride … will update the outcome here for sure. Bye now ….

 

Cheers

Playing with colors through beading

Revisiting my old passion with confidence
Revisiting my Old Passion

After 10 years (yes! I know … I am old but I have a very young heart), I decided early this year to revisit again my old beloved passion on beading. Did some intense traveling around the globe these past few years just to figure out what I am made off and I figured that life is short, why wasting time wondering either I can or can’t do the things that I wish that I want to do.

This is my first post in this blog.

Trying to link my passion for photography, traveling and jewellery making into one ultimate masterpiece. For a few months, I did some intense read up on jewellery making particularly on beading and attended a silversmithing course in Jogjakarta, Indonesia reason being to brush up my jewellery making skill and at the same time trying to boost up my confident level before I decide to totally jump into doing this for a living.

I had completed some bracelets and necklaces for GayaIzzah.com first jewelry collection targeting for young women last month and alhamdullilah the respond was quite encouraging.

I am currently working on the next set of jewelry collection from the remaining beads that I have in stock coupled with various color of freshwater pearls from Sabah. The next collection is targeted for completion in September 2014. Fyi September is a very special month both for me and for GayaIzzah.com team. So my dearest readers, wish me good luck yeah for my next upcoming creation.

Cheers
