Venue : Precint 9, Putrajaya
Date : 4 May 2008
Instructor : Aaron Kok
It was an opportunity to learn how to maximise the potential of the photo that stares back at me at the end of the photo shooting session, whether or not the photos turn out as hoped (which in my case, they normally don’t)… It was also answer to my question of whether or not there’s a better way to organise the fast growing numbers of my photos…
I definitely appreciate what I’ve learn in the workshop, and hoping to be able to make use of the knowledge shared, to build my preset way of post-processing, and my own preferred method of storing my photos… Above all, I’ve been exposed to the ease of lightroom and trust me, from the skeptic I was, I’m totally bought…
As mentioned by Aaron, I too hope that with this, the final output of the photos will show some improvements, and at the same time, I hope to be able to understand everything more, so that I could expect what I want, at the point of shooting, instead of having to change it in the digital darkroom…

Picture was taken on a casual public ‘for fun’ shoot with Tecky at my mum’s coffee shop… Conclusion from the whole session was that everyone in that area was either too intrigued, or too busy body… We have so many people walking up to us asking what are we taking, what was it for, and such… The more amusing one was, a customer of my mum actually walked up to me, asking me if I did take his photo…
Conversation took place in mandarin…
Customer : Just now, you took my photos?
ME : HUH?!
Customer : Was I in the photos you took just now?
ME : Err, no… Wasn’t taking your photo…
Customer : What are you taking the photos for?
ME : HUH?! For fun lar…
Customer : For fun only? OK then…
According to my brother, this guy has previously went in the hiding before (owe loan shark money?), so I guess was the reason he didn’t want his photos ‘published’… Either that or he was supposed to be at work somewhere out of Klang, and didn’t want the wife to see evidence of his presence… hahaha (I made the second one up, from no supporting facts, JUST FOR FUN)…
